Heavy, the last chronically homeless man in the area, has lived on the streets of Times Square for decades.

Something amusing in armies of social workers tyring to help the last homeless guy in Times Square — and he doesn’t want to have anything to do with them.

If he likes it, then why not leave him to it? Certainly I don't see the point in ruining his fun at my expense.

Maybe, just maybe ‘Heavy’ doesn’t want your help Common Ground lady.

Social agencies and charities have been working years to empty the streets around what is arguably a U.S. symbol of good times How many are living inside the subway tunnels?
Dark Days (2000), documentary
A cinematic portrait of the homeless population who live permanently in the underground tunnels of New York City....

I guess he hasn’t heard that the army of living dead (homeless) have assembled in Penn Station.

If there are no more homeless men in Times Square, the Disneyfication will be complete and the social workers will be out of work.

Heavy, the last chronically homeless man in the area, has lived on the streets of Times Square for decades. How is he going to pay for his mandatory health care insurance?

Doin' Time in Times SquareDescribed as the home video from hell, Doin' Time in Times Square documents the view and action outside director Charlie Ahearn's 43rd Street apartment window from 1981 to 1983. Charlie Ahearn, whose 1983 film Wild Style was a cult hip hop hit, was "blessed" with a generous view of the sleeze emporiums up Eighth Avenue and down 43rd. His window provides a view into midtown New York's street brutality in those dark years before it was "cleaned up" and "Disneyfied", His Hi-8 camera captures rip-offs, drug sales, police stake-outs and fights - lots of fights. On any given day we see fist-fights, domestic squabbles and bad deals going down. It is both a social and personal document.

Did the libs give him a free grocery shopping cart to solve all of his problems yet?

Homelessness was unknown in this country before we closed down 90% of our psychiatric beds in the 60’s and 70’s.

The revitalization of Times Square helped push up property values and tourist trade, but it’s still just a “not in my neighborhood” concept.
Running the homeless off to districts less frequented by tourists doesn’t make the problem go away.
It’s like sweeping the dust under the rug.
