| Homeless reign over LaGuardia to come to an end: Port Authority |
| 2015-12-21 |
| [NYPOST] The Port Authority said Friday it will turn La Guardia Airport into a bum-free zone -- but not until after the holidays. The agency made the move following an exposé in The Post showing that at least 50 homeless squatters had moved into the busy airport, sleeping on vents, stealing food from shops and getting naked to wash themselves in the bathrooms. The homeless have also been taking up chairs meant for passengers while snoring under blaring televisions. Some hang around during the day, arguing with cleaning crews and bothering shop workers. PA officials said they made the decision because the growing homeless population forced them to station dozens of cops at the airport to keep the vagrants under control, and that safety had become a huge concern. |
