New York Mayor Bloomberg Wants Housing Residents Fingerprinted

This position by the mayor infuriates advocates for the poor.

The mayor wants to fingerprint more than 600,000 people who live in public housing. He said it would be done to make the projects safer…

“Five percent of our population lives in NYCHA housing, 20 percent of the crime is in NYCHA housing – numbers like that. And we’ve just got to find some way to keep bringing crime down there. And we have a whole group of police officers assigned to NYCHA housing,” Bloomberg said. “The people that live there, most of them, want more police protection. They want more people. If you have strangers walking in the halls of your apartment building, don’t you want somebody to stop and say, ‘Who are you, why are you here?’”
