homeless by choice

Mohamed Rasul is homeless in New York City. But don’t feel too sorry for him, he’s “homeless by choice.”  He’s got a free laptop and free Wi-Fi in Bryant Park.

According to Mohamed, he’s “never been as comfortable as under de Blasio” because no one forces him to leave the park where a miniature carousel spins children around on painted horses and a yoga lesson takes place on the main lawn. These things, the carousel, the yoga lesson and the free Wi-Fi, only exist because the park was restored from its old days as a drug dealing hangout known as Needle Park.

Back then the stretch of park behind the New York Public Library had more crimes than some towns. Cleaning it up took a lot of hard work. Now that hard work is being undone by a pro-crime mayor.

  1. This is WAY OT – but I gotta get it out or burst. About the Bruce Jenner “transformation” and it maybe being a ploy to stay out of a men’s prison – we should start calling him Corporal Clinger – or he’s pulling a Clinger.

    OK – I’ll go sit down now. 🙂
