Those days are over. Swipe your MetroCard, ride the system, get off at your destination. That\u2019s what this administration is saying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople tell me about their fear of using the system,\u201d Adams continued, \u201cAnd we\u2019re going to ensure that fear is not New York\u2019s reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of the homeless who use New York City\u2019s subway system target the system\u2019s passengers for harassment and in violent crimes. <\/p>\n<p>The mayor said, \u201cThere are many rivers that feed the sea of homelessness, and we have to dam every river if we are going to address this issue.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Starting on Monday, the city will enact a zero-tolerance policy known as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/assets\/home\/downloads\/pdf\/press-releases\/2022\/the-subway-safety-plan.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Subway Safety Plan<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The plan acknowledges the difficulty of removing homeless people from using the subway and preventing them from using it for warmth and shelter.<\/p>\n<p>The policy document that details the plan stated, \u201cFor too long, our subway system has also confronted a painful humanitarian challenged playing out right in front of our eyes. Too many New Yorkers experience homelessness in our stations and our trains each night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It continued, \u201cWe have also seen violence on our subway platforms and stations. And while we know homelessness and violence do not equate and must not be conflated, we must also acknowledge that a small minority of individuals who may be experiencing several compounding challenges at once, including behavioral health challenges, must be reached with immediate interventions to prevent deterioration and potential danger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have seen the lives of innocent New Yorkers taken, simply coming into a station to take a train,\u201d the document stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Subway Safety Plan unflinchingly states that New York City\u2019s subway system exists \u201cto move paying customers from one point to another. They are not meant to house individual or provide recreational space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the era of COVID-19, rampant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/thai-model-subway-attack-nyc\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">violent crime<\/a> has come to be one of the defining characteristics of New York City. Eric Adam\u2019s won the mayoral election by taking an anti-crime stance and vowed to restore law and order. The Subway Safety Plan appears to be one of the first steps in accomplishing this goal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric Adams, the recently elected mayor of New York City, is aggressively working to remove homeless people from abusing the city\u2019s public transit systems.The Associated Press reported that Mayor Adams &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1892016,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1317753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1317753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1317753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1317753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1892016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1317753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1317753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1317753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
