Social New York Opening a $65 Million Dollar Homeless Shelter for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming People

[jk7707]

By spending $65 million to help 150 people? lol...

And the most desparate? Most attention seeking that's for sure. There's far more people with much more severe mental issues than transgenders.

Shelter is fundamental for humans to survive. So yes, the homeless are among the most desperate members of society. You're clearly just looking for something to bitch about.

What's your solution for the homelessness issue cities and towns across the country face, genius?

Just move them into areas where they won't effect people who matter and leave them there.

 

[ermac88]

The opposition to this is wild

Same heads complaining about homelessness

-Outraged by homeless shelter

Same heads complaining about trans in woman spaces

-Outraged by a homeless center for them



Its not about solutions, its about feigning outrage.


Like child sex trafficking/ r@pe/ Epstein etc. not something they really care about when theyre exposed in it.

 

[TryggeTryggvar]

This thread is outrage farming at its finest. Everyone can get their fill.

Let the trannies have their shelter imo.

Bunch of fucking crybaby bitches.

How much do you think it should be?

Most of you who post like this expose yourselves too much.

How much do I think it should cost tax payers to fund a homeless shelter bed for 1 year? Is that what you're asking?

Did you not see @Madmick post up numbers for board and tuition at Harvard?

Where in sweet fuck do you get the costs to believe that 87K/head isn't an absurd figure to absorb in the current economy? Probably the same place you figure it's smart to spend over 100k a year on prisoners....

 

[Lycandroid]

The only argument against this is the fact that the price tag is astronomical. Bring that price down with effective spending and open one of these in every city.

But at 65 million dollars this is just another LGBT grift to line some pockets that do not actually give a fuck about helping anyone.

So what is your cost per head and how do you come to this number?

Have you ever run an exercise like this before?

You are making posts based off your feelings instead of giving me a proper answer…

You just feel it’s too expensive but can’t give me an accurate answer nor the logic behind it. It screams of someone who has never done anything similar before.

Everyone thinks they can do it cheaper until it comes to present their case. Then they disappear. If it was so easy it would already be done.

Make it a mental facility and the west can finally be back on track to being normal again.

 

[Hog-train]

That's only $86,000 per year per person.

You're ignoring how this also factors in construction, and you're ignoring that it's not going to be the same 150 people for the entire year and people will rotate in and out.

What do you mean "only" 86K a year?

That's what a lot of people make in an entire year.

Because they get raped at a disproportionate rate.

Same thing can be said about women.

Seems like it would be a lot cheaper just hiring security at these facilities.

Yeah, only 86K a year. It's not like they're getting in in cash, that figure includes construction of the facility, so in reality is much much less per person.

Would you prefer to leave them on the street? We all know you would be hollering the loudest if they started putting them into non-trans facilities.

They're not building a brand new building. This is Long Island City - right next to Manhattan. They're just renovating an existing building.

The project's budget is approximately $65 million and allocated for operation and services through 2030.

The operation will be run by a private company called Destination Tomorrow - no doubt plenty of grift in there.

I prefer them to be housed just like all the other homeless - in normal homeless shelters. They run at much cheaper rates than this one.

Get more money allocated to security.

Renovation.. is construction. It's not free lmao.

Maintenance has a cost, staff has a cost, none of this is free. The entire allocated amount isn't going directly into the people using this shelter's pockets.

NYC spends billions per year on the homeless shelter system.

Ok but that still costs money. Money doesn't grow on trees.

NYC spends sometimes less than half what this place will cost in normal homeless shelters. And there are a lot more normal homeless people than trans homeless. Just pay for extra security if the vulnerability of trans people are an issue.

And I'm sure sometime then spend much more. You're grasping.

That's not a solution. That's a concentration camp.

When they opening the male disabled verterans shelter? How about gay native Americans .

This is why I am generally a fiscal conservative who believes government spending is often little more than a glorified form of embezzlement. Check this out:

Tuition and Fees | FAS Registrar's Office

registrar.fas.harvard.edu

Full tuition and board at Harvard University checks in at $87K a year. This is the most elite private university in the world. $59K of that is tuition: the cost of their education (to pay professors & all of their aides; to pay other faculty; to finance expensive facilities like libraries, computer labs, science labs, research facilities, and other expensive educational equipment; to pay fees attracting legendary academic speakers; to cover all other fees associated with the collective academic enterprise of the university).

That means board & everything else runs $28K. That takes care of living quarters, health care, food, custodianship, and security. This is to the satisfaction of the generally most affluent class of people in the world. So why in the fuck would it cost 3.5x that per bed to take care of a bunch of homeless people?

What a goddamn shameless scam on the taxpayer these "homeless shelters" are.

Yep. That's the grift. Not to mention the sweet contracts awarded by the government to the construction outfits who donate to their campaigns, and the billion bullshit government employees who are making sure to drink at the well like all of the useless inspectors.

This is why it costs $1m to install a single freely donated toilet in San Francisco.

Exactly this.

I was going to mention the million dollar toilet.

Also the budget for homeless services in SF doubled, quadrupled, etc over the last couple decades yet there was little discernible difference...in fact it got much much worse.....only with a recent court case where cops were finally allowed to start removing the 'unhoused' people and their living arrangements did it get better. They also were magically able to remove the homeless for President Xi visit iirc before the court decision. There are some truly horrible people on the Board of Supervisors.

It has a full-time psychiatrist on site, as well as clinical staff and social workers, officials said.

Probably could use a few more psychiatrists. And some Sherdoggers to remind them they they can pretend to play dress up, but that doesn't change their chromosomes.
