Just like the $800 million DeBlasio’s wife made disappear a few years ago. Some major corruption in our city, maybe if the taxpayers weren’t being robbed of a billion every so often we would have better infrastructure.

Tbf you can see what happened to the mental health crisis in this city after many of those programs were defunded...

But don't worry no one will ever try non-siloed mental health initiatives inside existing agencies ever again.

Yeah, they paid the MTA $800 million to house the mentally ill/chemically homeless population.

I think that was more about optics because of an election coming up and that’s over now
