I'll bet some of these people have college degrees, too!
New York City paying plane flights to ANYWHERE to get rid of their homeless:

They are flown to Paris ($6,332), Orlando ($858.40), Johannesburg ($2,550.70), or most frequently, San Juan ($484.20).
Hector Correa and Elisabeth Mojica were at Kennedy Airport on Tuesday to fly home to Puerto Rico, to stay with her father.
They are not executives on business trips or couples on honeymoons. Rather, all are families who have ended up homeless, and all the plane tickets are courtesy of the city of New York (one-way).
The Bloomberg administration, which has struggled with a seemingly intractable problem of homelessness for years, has paid for more than 550 families to leave the city since 2007, as a way of keeping them out of the expensive shelter system, which costs $36,000 a year per family. All it takes is for a relative elsewhere to agree to take the family in.... |
Well... I guess you'd have to claim to be a family member. By the way, I once knew a guy who was a homeless person from Canada who was able to come teach here. He did it for at least 2 years, and may have come back a 3rd time. |
