The New York City Department of Homeless Services is reporting that the number of people who are sleeping in city streets is up by 50% in the past year.
More than 1,000 people now actually live in the New York City Subway system. That figure has alone has jumped by 11%.
While all this is happening New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg has been playing golf with President Obama and lecturing the nation about religious tolerance as he ridicules those who oppose the construction of the massive mosque at Ground Zero.
But Bloomberg is still the Mayor of New York, not the Archbishop of Progressivism.
And the sad fact is that under Bloomberg New York has deteriorated.
The Mayor has become a tiresome liberal windbag with outsized ambitions, an presumptuous attitude and a suffocating ego.
Frankly, I think it's time for Bloomberg to get out of the public eye for awhile and get back to the day-to-day business of running the city. There's a lot of work to be done, Mr. Mayor. And if you can't do it, you need the get out of the way.
Between the economic downturn, the homeless problem and the bed bug infestation (to name a few crises) New York needs more action, and fewer pompous lectures.
