And Let's Not Even Get Started on Staten Island
There are many reasons for homelessness. Many are sad, some tragic, and a few eminently understandable. A there-but-for-the-grace-of- God woman appeared in night court last night; unable to afford her apartment after she lost her job, she'd been arrested and charged with trespassing for sleeping on a Gramercy Park roof.
As her attorney explains, "My client can't go to Brooklyn or the Bronx. She gets confused there."
We hear that, sister.
