NYC Mayor Bloomberg may be the boogeyman this year. With him running for a third term, he is pretending to be the business man who can save the city from a tumbling economy. Problem is, so far, he hasn’t handled the situation that well.

According to the Coalition for the Homeless, the number of new homeless families has surpassed all-time record levels each of the past three months.

Last month, 1,464 new families moved into the shelter system, which is the “highest one-month count since the City began keeping records 25 years ago” and it’s 22% higher than September 2007. The group’s head, Mary Brosnahan, told the Daily News, “While both city and state budget shortfalls require difficult choices, vulnerable New Yorkers now need more support, not less.”
