evidence: Mayor Adams: Friday, I was out with Shams DaBaron as we walked the streets of Harlem, and we saw people who really were not in a position to even take the care and services that were being offered. We took the bus over to Wards Island around 11, 12 o'clock at night and spoke to some of the men and women who were going into shelters or who were just outside. Those who want to simplify the complexity of homelessness, there's a reason no one has gotten it right thus far. There's a reason, and part of that reason is because no one was willing to listen to all aspects of this. This administration is willing to hear those who have great ideas. We care about this city. One can say what they want but you cannot take away from the fact, I love this city. And the people I love in this city are those who are living in homes and those who are homeless, because I speak with them every day that I could possibly talk to them, particularly our brothers and sisters who are experiencing homelessness.
