The incoming socialist mayor of New York City says that he will end the clearing out of homeless encampments in the city once he enters office.
Zohran Mamdani made the comments during his "Hot Chocolate, Frozen Rent" event in Manhattan on Thursday, where he posited that homelessness is a result of "political choice."
'Radical left communists would rather the homeless freeze to death on the streets, live in tents without showers food or medicine than make sure they have PROPER housing.'
"If you are not connecting homeless New Yorkers to the housing that they so desperately need, then you cannot deem anything you're doing to be a success," he said .
"We are going to take an approach that understands its mission is connecting those New Yorkers to housing, whether it's supportive housing
