The Big Apple “will be a disaster” under Zohran Mamdani, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani believes — because the socialist mayor-elect fundamentally misunderstands the homeless problem. Mamdani’s pledge to end sweeps of homeless camps will create a “ticking time bomb,” Giuliani proclaimed, noting many on the streets are “paranoid schizophrenics” who tend to get “much worse” and even “violent” in isolation. “The thing paranoid schizophrenics need is contact,” he told The Post this week.
“The therapy . . . is constant talking, constant bringing them out. So think about it, the more they go inward that’s how they go from being a relatively safe person that first goes into homelessness to a killer five weeks later, five months later. “So he is going to produce . . . possibly the most dangerous thing a New York mayor has ever done,” predicted Giuliani, adding he fears dark days ahead for the city not seen since the crime-ravaged early 1990s under Mayor David Dinkins.
