New York City is buying one-way plane tickets for homeless families to leave the city, and dozens of the families have landed in Georgia and South Carolina.
It's part of a Bloomberg administration program to keep the homeless out of the expensive shelter system, which costs $36,000 a year per family. More than 550 families have left the city since 2007. All it takes is for a relative to agree to take them in.
Here's a hint Bloomberg; all it ever takes for someone to get off the streets is for a friend and/or family member to help.
For most of these people, they've already exhausted those resources.
I've got a good idea for Mayor Bloomberg, you send me $35,000 a year per family, I'll take care of them.
