De Blasio has sent 1,412 homeless packing

The New York Post reports:
Mayor de Blasio has sent 1,412 homeless people packing since taking office in January — keeping pace with Mayor Bloomberg’s bum-banishment program despite lambasting his Republican predecessor’s homeless policies.

Liberal advocates for homeless New Yorkers slammed de Blasio for ignoring his own “Tale of Two Cities” campaign rhetoric to “push poor people out of the city.”

“This is ridiculous,” said Luis Tejada, former head of the Mirabal Sisters Cultural and Community Center in West Harlem. “I worked for [de Blasio’s] campaign. We expected more from him. This is a big surprise.”
