It’s time (past time!) for Mayor Eric Adams to at last full-on challenge the so-called right to shelter, not just plead for some temporary limits.
The migrant crisis is the obvious spur for that action, but it’s really just exposed the fundamental madness of the “right” — which is based solely on a consent decree agreed to by Mayor Ed Koch more than four decades ago, plus a series of court rulings that have turned sheltering anyone who requests it into a $2-billion-a-year City Hall obligation.
And as Gov. Kathy Hochul is looking to reduce the state’s migrant spending as her budget director calls it “unsustainable.”And while the “asylum seekers” present an unusually large challenge, how much of the city’s “normal” homeless population has been drawn here by the legal guarantees?Heck, the city would surely care for most homeless even without the “right” — but could do so far more rationally than without the insane micromanagement that the consent decree has led to.
As it stands, City Hall is end-running the right now when it comes to migrants, forcing them to reapply after 30 days in a shelter , and giving them a bureaucratic runaround when they try to sign up again.And, again, the vast amounts spent on normal homeless already consume major public resources that no other municipality in the country is obliged to spend.
