homelessness in nyc

so i have lived in nyc for almost 4 years now. obviously i have always seen homeless people here in the city but recently it seems you have to walk over them to get anywhere. this deeply saddens me as i think, isnt nyc and the usa the wealthiest place in the world? why then do i see homeless families on the street.
i will tell you why...we are in a mess of an economy and the government will not put the money where it needs to be.
our citizens are being thrown out on the streets due to lay offs and high rent and mortgage prices. we must fix this. stand up and help. these people need to be shown dignity and respect. help the homeless and combat injustice!
