Reflecting on yesteryear, I am not so sure that I have learned much. I find myself juggling Wacky Wok (takeout and cafe), Council business, riding, writing, classes, and newfound social and political interests, all while trying to redefine and refine my purpose. The DHS Data Dashboard provides information on individuals and families by case type; the ethnicity of shelter clients; the number of shelter entrants by borough; the number of shelter exits; how many school aged children are in shelter; the placements of chronically street homeless individuals; and prevention enrollments. The Coalition for the Homeless provides up-to-date information on New York City’s homeless population. In recent years, homelessness in New York City has reached the highest levels since the Great Depression. You can find more information about homelessness at the following page: This page provides an overview of homelessness in New York City. Here you can find the key statistics about New York City’s homeless shelter population and a brief description of some of the main factors causing modern homelessness. You can also download a fact sheet about homelessness in New York City. , and drop organic meats and vegetables at the docks all along the shore! Put me on the city’s planning commission. Not hiring? Too “ahead of your time,” I bet. But hey, good riddance to colossal Big Gulps! I think they should go all out and outlaw poisonous corn-juice sodas. Throw the corporations who are responsible for the pushing poisonous products in the slammer for murder; too many of us are slowly dying from what they market. At least tax it to death. What, outlawing the oversized soda failed? Applaud him for trying. Now how about this progressive new policy, Vision Zero? I’m having trouble visualizing it. If I understand the program, it’s a crackdown on the Jaywalkers, the red-light running fools, and the box-blockers. We’re doing this to save lives… And bikers will require licenses? Will they need to pass a written and driving test? We do want , yes? The licensing is not in the plan? Oh, that was someone’s wish list? Good, I’m a biker and we do want to promote biking, after all, you have those Citi Bikes strewn all over the place. Don’t get me wrong, I love them, but I would love them more without the Citibank logo. The bike lanes are a great move and the personal “stop” and “go” lights make me feel special. However, the painted path marks are fading and the road is shit. What nincompoop designed the bike lane from 33rd to 36th Street? Make that numbskull ride a bike along those blocks. What about the anxious walkers who filter into the cyclist pathways? Yes, I have something to say to those pedestrians, “Get the @%$& out of the bike path you dopes, we’re riding here!” The wrong-way riders need to go, along with those idiot riders using cell phones while biking. Keep the cars from jamming biking paths. Potholes! We are littered with potholes! This past winter as did the winter before beat the hell out of the city’s streets. If you get caught riding in dim light you’ll be doing summersaults all the way home. , and drop organic meats and vegetables at the docks all along the shore!

Most of the homeless in the group confirm that a social worker came by offering to help them, but only after initially denying it. Two people stand firm that no one came by—perhaps they are newer members to the group. And two others confirm two visits from a homeless outreach organization that had offered shelter and other available services. ‘Available services,’ something else for me to be educated about.
