Only in NY folks, only in NY.

Ok...here's my thoughts on this. We don't know each person's personal situation. But for the ones that work, they should be paying their own way. Perhaps with some government assistance, but clearly not a free ride. Not to mention, that NYS is the best 'handout' state in the country!!! There is low income housing all over the place in this state. There are non-profits everywhere.  I find it hard to believe that a homeless shelter is their only option. It may just be 'easier' to obtain.

Obviously they have never heard of Schenectady, huh? Hell, their is a brandi-new Bethesda house that would welcome them with open arms.

Oh, I agree 100% that they should make *SOME* contribution - monetary or otherwise.  I do *not* think that it should be 50% of whatever they make.

I dunno how I feel about this. If NYC is going into the landlord / tenant business, fine, do it. Put them in "projects", subsidized housing. If they're in a homeless shelter, it should be temporary, and if they're working should be contributing. On one hand, I don't think they SHOULD be in the landlord business. On the other hand, they should, if possible contribute financially. The third hand is saying "Hey, I gotta pay for rent, why shouldn't they" - but that'd make me sound like a cold heartless monster for not helping out the homeless.

Catch 22 - but either way, 50% is excessive.
