West Side Encampments and the Mayor's Plan | New York City News
Description
Mayor Mamdani’s handling of Manhattan’s explosive West Side homeless encampments is under fire as temperatures soar and shelters remain scarce. Residents and tourists alike are caught in the crossfire — some campers are respectful, others disruptive — while officials pivot between outreach and enforcement. The mayor insists his focus is on permanent housing, not just relocation, but for those like a three-year homeless man, the heat is forcing desperate moves to hospitals or transit hubs — with no real end in sight. The city’s slow response and shifting responsibilities only deepen the crisis.
