The latest display of progressive empathy for “asylum seekers” (read: illegal immigrants) in New York City can be found in a shocking increase in the homeless shelter population.
The number living in the shelter system soared 53% over the past year , per the latest figures from Mayor Adams’ preliminary management report.
The data comes from year-on-year comparisons between the first fiscal quarters, July through October.
The 2023 quarter saw 83,985 people in shelters on average per day; the 2022 one, “only” 54,738.
When you drill down into the data on families, the picture becomes even grimmer .
The numbers show a horrific 147% rise in entries to shelters for families with children.
The shelter beast never sleeps or stops eating in Gotham, with more than 210 emergency shelters opened.
More than 100 hotels have been converted into shelters, at a cost topping $1 billion.
