Giuliani and Bloomberg cleaned up the homeless situation when they were mayors here. The homeless were literally taken off the Street and put in shelters. There was a big dialogue about that since some homeless people wanted to be homeless and live on the street. They felt homelessness was their choice. Under the new mayor, Diblasio, homelessness has returned.
So, I know homelessness can be reduced dramatically if the people in charge are sincere about it.
It got pretty disgusting with people sprawled out on the streets on Third Average and Lexington Ave, for example in shopping areas.
Now I don't know what percent of the homeless were actually rehabilitated? The motivation to clean up the streets was not primarily a liberal undertaking.
