NYC Mayor Bloomberg reTouring the city's homeless

NYC Mayor Bloomberg, has no problem sending away the City's homeless, even to France with the City’s budget.  For this billionaire, who had tripled his wealth ever since he became a mayor of one of the most expensive city in the world, what counts is out of side, out of mind.

  According to the Daily beast’s Eric Pape the Homeles Family’s European Trip “started with some simple math : it costs New York City about $3,000 per month per family to house its official homeless population of about 38,000, as it is required to do by law. Putting someone on a bus to Philadelphia or a plane to Charleston or even San Francisco costs a fraction of that.” “Basically, New York will fly them nearly anywhere on earth, as long as they have a family member there to receive them.” Even though in this case there was no one in Normandy to receive them.  “Since 2007, the New York Times reported last month, nearly 550 city-housed families have accepted voluntary repatriation (at a total program cost of about a half million dollars per year) to 24 states and five continents. The biggest off-shore destination is Puerto Rico, although families have been sent as far afoot as South Africa and, yes, France.  Asked about the policy of exporting the poor on CNN recently, Mayor Bloomberg made clear that the real issue is one of stark economics. The city has a choice : shell out every day to house people, or shell out once and for all to buy them a one-way ticket. On a human level, he expressed hope that it might be easier for such people to find employment and get a new start in a new place. But, at the very least, it makes for less work for the city of New York.”
