Homeless should not live within subway system: MTA’s Sarah Feinberg

MTA Interim Transit President Sarah Feinberg lit into homeless advocates on Sunday, accusing them of defending the status quo of unhoused individuals sleeping on trains and platforms.

“The homeless advocates, the groups that have devoted their time and their resources and their advocacy skills to helping the homeless have sort of decided that the subway is a reasonable place for folks to live,” Feinberg charged during an interview on WABC radio’s “Cats Roundtable.” “The answer should never be that someone lives on a bench or someone lives in a tunnel,” she said. “It boggles the mind that there are groups out there that have decided that this is an acceptable solution for these folks.”
