""We share a lot of the same kinds of neighborhoods. These are more suburban neighborhoods than urban neighborhoods. And people like the character. If they wanted a more urban environment, they can live in Manhattan.""
""They want local control. They want transparency, and they're not getting it from Zohran Mamdani or Kathy Hochul. We've got to start letting the people in the outer boroughs' voices be heard, and when I'm governor, their voices will be heard.""
""The way to do that is to take a multifaceted approach, not just stick them somewhere, and put a homeless shelter in the middle of a beautiful community.""
Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive and GOP gubernatorial candidate, criticized Mayor Zohran Mamdani as an elitist failing the outer boroughs. Speaking at a rally in Bensonhurst, he expressed solidarity with local residents who oppose a planned 150-bed homeless shelter. Blakeman emphasized the need for local control and transparency, asserting that the voices of outer borough residents must be heard. He argued for a multifaceted approach to the homeless crisis rather than placing shelters in suburban neighborhoods, which residents believe will disrupt their community.
