.@AliWatkins @jeffreyesinger @nytimes @homeless_law @Ntl_Homeless . @NYHomeless @davidminpdx @ScottHech @MaryBrosnahan @homeless_hero Please read this thread about whether its accurate, as the NY Times just claimed, that its “common” for unhoused people in NYC to commit murder. Exact NY Times quote from today’s article: “a pattern that has become an unsettlingly common feature of the pandemic in New York City: a seemingly unprovoked attack in which the person charged is a homeless man.” Of course, every murder is horrific, but is this “common?” No.

The NY Times asked me and and others a few months ago what we loved most about NYC. Here was the part of my response that they printed: Here was my full response: I love that parts of New York are as Nigerian as Lagos, as Indian as Mumbai, as Jewish as Tel Aviv, as Haitian as Port-au-Prince, as Ukrainian as Odessa, as Mexican as Puebla, as Chinese as Shanghai, etc., etc. etc. … into infinity.
