Last month I saw a homeless man pee on the subway during the morning rush. I mean, took his wiener out of his pants and peed right there in the moving train. I wasn’t sure if it was that instance that made me more aware of the homeless or if it’s the cold weather that brings them to the concentrated underground, but I seem to encounter at least 5 homeless every time I swipe my metrocard.
Its not in my head; I just read that New York has 9,720 homeless, up from 5,192 in 2000.
(And yes, I occasionally take pictures of snuggled homeless. What else am I to do for entertainment when I forget my book at home?)
