Arme Leute rausschmeißen?
So wie Rudi es damals Ende der 90er in New York gemacht hat?
"One of the major challenges to Giuliani's legacy is the problem of affordable housing. During his tenure there was almost no building of low-income housing, and much of the rent-controlled property was released to the market. In the past 10 years, New York has lost more than half a million low-rent apartments.
'He threw us out onto the streets and then gave landlords the right to raise rents,' says Willie, a 41-year-old homeless man. 'Welfare gives you $215 a-month for rent, but the rents are $2,000. What am I supposed to do? Rob a bank?'
One of Giuliani's last - and vividly symbolic - measures was to order the rousting or arrest of the homeless sleeping on the steps of city's churches."
