Lady Gaga's father has a restaurant in Grand Central Station in the food court area. He is refusing to pay his rent because of the problems with homeless people. Joe Germanotta claims is business is down 30% because the homeless people camp out in front of his restaurant and harass the people trying to have a good time there. From the New York Post:
“The homeless go in there to stay warm. We’re compassionate, but it affects our customers,” Germanotta told The Post this week. “When the homeless invade our areas, it becomes a less attractive place.”
The response of the MTA that rents out the space: “This is a landlord-tenant dispute, pure and simple, in which the tenant seeks to blame his financial struggles on anyone but himself,” Minton said. “The fact that Mr. Germanotta does not appreciate someone who is less fortunate having a cup of coffee near his business is not the problem of the people of the state of New York, who don’t expect to have to subsidize his struggling business.”
This is typical. I remember going to the food court in Grand Central. There was the Oyster Bar and a Michael Jordan's Steakhouse. Now it is homeless people as far as the eye can see. I think there is only one possible solution to the homeless problem.

Does it ever occur to New Yorkers, high and low (because both ends of the spectrum are guilty of the socialist disease) that maybe there won't be another Giuliani coming along to save them this time?
They should live so long.
And Troop is right, one way or t'other.
The bums will get the bums' rush.
There is a large group of idiots who are nostalgic for the late 70s/early 80s in New York. Nostalgie de la boue. Tom Wolfe worked it into the "Bonfire of the Vanities." Mayor Doomborg may be looking for a job soon if youse guys want him back. We're still processing his application out here in the Rest of America but it's not looking good.
