The city needs to do something so that tourists and businesses don't flee the city. The city needs to do something to help the homeless.

Leaving insane drug addicts alone to fend for themselves is not "empowering". It's cruel.

There hasn’t been any drop in businesses or tourism due to homeless. If it has its due to remote work and covid. Unfortunately this has become an ‘accepted’ part of the city and society. Any solution that comes for this probably needs federal gov intervention. Because if NYC fixes it, other cities will send their homeless to nyc.
