It’s his “system,” and he gets mad when police don’t use it
Photo: Timothy A. Clary/AFP via Getty Images Eric Adams has a “system in place” for tracking homeless encampments on the subway: a shareable Google Doc. When a police officer sees an encampment on the subway, the New York Post reports, they are supposed to record the location in the document. Adams checks the Google Doc regularly and gets upset when police aren’t using it, making it less of a system and more of an Adams thing.
The system is, per the Post, a means to “follow-up with the Department of Homeless Services and others” and “accomplish a mission.” That mission so far: routine sweeps that destroy unhoused people’s belongings while helping very few of them to find lasting shelter. In May, after 710 encampment sweeps, only 39 people moved indoors, according to the city’s own numbers — and Gothamist reported that city officials declined to specify whether these moves were to shelter beds, jails, or hospitals.
