Austin TX mayor tried the same thing with disastrous results. But I'm sure this socialist will make it work.
What did they expect? After all, affluent socialists must virtue-signal to bring meaning to their empty lives. They cannot help themselves.
According to the New York Post, Democratic Socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani of New York City told reporters at a news conference in Manhattan Thursday that he plans to reverse outgoing Mayor Eric Adams' policy of clearing makeshift homeless camps in the city.

Meanwhile, in a surprise twist, leftists on social media objected to the incoming mayor's plan.
"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," Mamdani told reporters.
Without offering a definite solution, the socialist declared that he would make housing, not removal, a priority.
"We are going to take an approach that understands its mission is connecting those New Yorkers to housing," the mayor-elect said. "Whether it’s supportive housing, whether it’s rental housing, whatever kind of housing it is, because what we have seen is the treatment of homelessness as if it is a natural part of living in this city, when in fact, it’s more often a reflection of a political choice being made."
The proliferation of homeless encampments can indeed amount to a political choice. Ask the people of San Francisco and other Democrat-run hellholes.
