NYC Homeless Industrial Complex Paid for by YOU:

You and your wife make $81K a year. That's the average household in New York City.
The city spends $81,705 per homeless person per year.
Not a household. ONE person.
You work all day, every day. And the city burns through yours and your wife's ENTIRE SALARY on ONE person who is still sleeping on the sidewalk.
The same guy you step over on the way to work. The one your kid asks you about. Still there.
Still homeless. Still jobless. But don't worry. He's still in the system. And the system is eating VERY well.
Average rent in NYC is $42K a year. You could get every homeless person their own apartment and still have $178 million left over.
Build instead. Even with union extortion you could have housing for all of them in ~5 years.
Houston did exactly this. Housing first. Spent less than any major city. Homelessness down 63%. 26,000 people housed. 90% stayed housed.
New York triples spend, worse homelessness. You know...government things.
So where tf did your money go?
The city investigated 51 nonprofit shelter providers. Every one failed their audit. ALL 51. And nobody got fired.
Your $400 million in taxes go to a nonprofit. The CEO pays himself $1 million. Hires his mother, sister, aunt, brother, niece. All six figures. Spends $460,000 on gym memberships. Funnels $32 million to his own companies.
But blame the small business owners. Make sure people regret dying and tax their $750K shoebox apartments when they give them to their kids making minimum wage.
One ran a nonprofit that owned a security company. Hired itself. Billed you $11 million.
Make sure property taxes go up 9%.
One put her kids on the payroll and lied about it to investigators.
But blame the hardworking landlord who immigrated here from Greece and spent 50 years saving to buy an apartment building in Astoria.
Make sure to add rent caps, so he's forced to sell and go on welfare to support himself in retirement.
One took $1.2 million in bribes and sexually assaulted women in his own shelters. Women sleeping in beds your taxes paid for. 27 months. You'd get more for tax fraud.
The 83-year-old woman in the shelter eats moldy bacon and sleeps next to rats.
"A lot of money is going into this place," she said. "But it's not going to us."
The city approved $117 million in invoices that literally said 'TBD' where the vendor name should be.
$117 million. To "TBD."
Fraud is the only industry in America where you can triple your budget, get worse results, have your entire supply chain arrested for fraud, and still ask for more.
This is the Homeless Industrial Complex.
The nonprofits hire themselves. The problem gets worse. They ask for more. $102 million in 2019. $456 million next year.
17 nonprofits control 65% of the city's shelter capacity. No accountability. Can't be fired.
Bernie Sanders yells at you for not doing your fair share.
You already gave them $81,000.
They gave it to a CEO who spent it on Ferraris.
They let a man scream at your wife on the subway at 11pm. They let your kid see someone defecating in public and ask you why and you don't have an answer.
They want to cut 5,000 NYPD officers. They tell the builders they're the problem. They blame everyone who built NYC while smiling at the cameras.
Then Hochul wonders why you moved to Florida.
AOC will show up to the Met Gala in a dress that says TAX THE RICH and tell you Elon and Bezos are the problem.
It's easier to blame billionaires than investigate the fake nonprofits whose pockets you line for the "greater good."
She blocked 25,000 Amazon jobs from coming to Long Island City. Called it a victory. Same neighborhood where shelters are run by millionaires billing the city to hire their own families.
New York City's budget is $127 BILLION.
There has always been enough money.
The person on the sidewalk is still on the sidewalk. The CEO is at dinner with Mayor Mamdani.
Mamdani just needs 2% more. For the nonprofits.
And Mamdani and Hochul will look you straight in the face and say PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE. Wonder why you're leaving.
I hope you understand what's at stake.
