What about the people!?!

Seeing the flooded subways, parking garages and other structures had me wondering why no one has thought to start looking for these people.

.. not be shown publicly either by politicians or the media.

I think some of the more thoughtful authors have commented
on this problem. Everyone mentioned publicly is either "middle class"
or rich. All the social programs and policies considered by politicians
and legislators are for the "middle class."

The poor, homeless, disabled, and elderly vulnerable and distressed
are virtually invisibilized or marginalized. Ours is a very sad, sick
society.

When the waters recede and bodies start turning up basements and all the underground access tunnels...yikes.

Not my post, talk about it or not...I'm talking about the homeless in NY...where'd they go? Has ANYONE in the media mentioned this?

and my son has been very worried about them. He hasn't been able to find any news
reporting if the were evacuated.

I would like to think that Mr. Bloomberg, Archbishop Dolan, the Salvation Army, etc., have thought about it, as well. I am sure many were missed in any efforts they may have had, however. Very sad.

I heard it on Monday's news before we lost power. But, the spokesperson (do not remember the name or agency) said it was difficult work with a low rate of success. If people don't want to be found, they won't be.

But the city was not unaware of its subway and other out-of-sight dwellers. Again, I don't know how big the effort was, but someone tried.

Let's hope most were and are getting the assistance they need.
