So the American Civil Liberties Union wants homeless sweeps to end. Allow me to tell you what I want.
I want the homeless to stop being walking, rolling piles of trash. The trail of trash that follows most of them across the island is appalling. I want the city and state to quit spending taxpayer dollars on homeless housing. We could have easily bought each of them a million-dollar house by now. Seriously, do the math.
I want our sidewalks, restrooms, beaches and parks back. We pay dearly for them; we should have access to them.
Lastly I’d like the police to enforce standing and future laws against all lawbreakers, not just the homeless.
