NEW YORK — New York City is buying one-way plane tickets for homeless families to leave the city.
It's part of a program by Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration to keep the homeless out of the expensive shelter system, which costs $36,000 a year per family.
More than 550 families have left the city since 2007. All it takes is for a relative to agree to take them in.
The city employs a travel agency for domestic travel and the Department of Homeless Services handles international travel.

Just like the garbage is no longer trucked to Staten Island. It now goes to West Virginia, when it all should be dumped on Bedford Avenue in “Billyburg.”
Some guy in Florida actually wants to build a "country club" for the homeless.

Maybe we can send them there.
Minneapolis tried that with bus tickets back in the 80’s, but the bleeding-hearts got it stopped.
LOL! You can get cheap crash helmets too. I bet you can get cheap seats. Do you remember that automotive catalog that had all the aftermarket parts that was big in the 1960s and 1970s. Loads of stuff for VWs. J.C. Whitney?
