NYC homeless promise Koch lie!

 The 1981 promise of NYC to shelter all who need it was a bald faced lie put forth by the criminal Koch administration to pave the way for his mass urban gentrification program where the city encouraged the flipping of huge numbers of residential properties into luxury apartments and the phenomenon of "bag ladies" becoming widespread and common place as affordable hotel rooms were converted to condos their former occupants kicked to the curbs.  The dear mayor said "if you can't afford to live in NYC move somewhere else"  So he opened up Grand Central Station for a period to provide a grossly unsupervised, mass public shelter where gangs preyed on the helpless and desperate.

RAMPANT, UNPLANNED GENTRIFICATION STARTED THIS CRISIS IN 1981!

William Hurd Reboot?

 William if anything needs " rebooting " to fix mass inequality in the failing USA IT IS HOUSING POLICY !  

NOT CORRECTING MASS HOMELESSNESS IS AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE GROUND WORK FOR THE NEXT, LARGER Jan. 6th INSURRECTION. 

WALL STREET has no right to exploit basic rental housing as another commodity to be played with like a toy.  

FORCE WALLSTREET OUT OF HOUSING!

 Investor swine wallowed burping and farting into the rental housing market big time in 2010 during the republican Great Recession when thousands  of houses were abandoned and foreclosed and thus bargain buys waiting to be gulped down by the fattest, largest hogs in commercial real estate and financial hedge funds often owning thousands of rentable houses and apartments. 

 The rental housing hogs, bloated with cash, set and raise rents "across" the holdings without a single thought about tenants struggle to pay them or decent into homelessness if they can't pay excessive rents.   

Wall street not drugs or crime is the single worst contributor to homelessness in America and the western world and must be stopped by any means necessary legislative or by direct action such as squatting, confiscation and vandalism (to destroy value) 

 The German parliament is considering the legislative  route of breaking up mass corporate ownership of rental housing! America should follow up !!
