When asked about Mayor Adams claim that he is trying to alleviate crime, one of the residents being displaced said, “Those are regular people who decide to kill or steal. It’s not the homeless that do that, or only the homeless. You’re kicking us while we’re already down.” pic.twitter.com/3rG8IFchQg
