I have witnessed numerous times, the Crusties charging their iDevies into the one outlet that hasn't been locked outside of PS 64, really? They are not homeless if they have an iPod or iPhone. Sorry, homeless people who need help are a different story. No sympathy for the ones who choose this and camp out in front of our restaurant, only to harass and cause customers to leave. And, they actually have their own blog. http://crustypunks.blogspot.com/?m=1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-51435419622467736092015-08-05T02:40:27.176-04:002015-08-05T02:40:27.176-04:00To everyone that is pro crustie, try running a sma...To everyone that is pro crustie, try running a small business in the east village...especially when our building was bought by ICON.

Surviving in this town as a homeless person is a full time. Your schedule revolved around churches and soup kitchens and meal times and library hours. You manage and adapt because you have to. You have no other options. You have to learn to not be stressed all the time. Its not the end of the world. You adjust and learn where to eat, shower, get clothes etc. Once you get stabilized you can start formulating a plan to get off the street. It is possible with enough work.

We've got Crusties he...RE: Anonyous at 10:59 -<br /><br />We've got Crusties here in Austin, Texas year-round - and more come down from NYC when the weather there turns cold. The Crusties live mostly in the woods in Pease Park, walking distance from the University of Texas, where they panhandle obnoxiously on "The Drag" running adjacent to the UT campus and there are churches with chow line, food pantry, and such.<br /><br />The Crusty population in Austin intersects with a growing population of junkies (heroin is abundant and apparently affordable here), ex-cons, violent ne'er-do-wells, kids tossed out of their homes (note their being white or sometimes Hispanic; black families don't just throw their kids out), and down-and-out drunks. The Crusties and the others occupy the same public space just to the west of UT, and as a member of neither population, I half-appreciate their providing a "balance" to the spoiled and self-absorbed UT kids, many of whom live in student condos, such as the massive new freshman "dorm" with six-story parking garage, luxurious lobby with concierge, and cafeteria that looks like a nice New York diner. It's a weird ecosystem, for sure. Every so often, APD beats its chest and does some "clean-up" or assigns officers on bikes to go passively intimidate the "homeless" crowd, but also they have drunk partiers on 6th Street to beat up, drunk drivers to humiliate, drunken frat boys to tell to quiet-down, and young black men to murder.<br /><br />The Crusties are unpleasant in any city, but y'know who's really getting on Austinites' nerves these days? The passive-aggressive, and often overly-aggressive, Save the Children solicitors on the streets. I try to be on the lookout for pairs or trios of young people wearing red t-shirts and holding clipboards, but they seem to be lurking to ambush around any corner. One caught me on a bad day and I almost put him in the hospital. Crusties call me a "douchebag" for not giving them money; I don't care - but the Save the Children a-holes, man . . .<br /><br />Oh, yeah: everyone concerned about Crusties as an "issue" should click on the "Crustypunks" link in the sidebar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-6033050476176433922015-08-01T21:26:52.403-04:002015-08-01T21:26:52.403-04:00The Public School was PS19, on 11th street and fir... The Public School was PS19, on 11th street and first avenue. The crusties camped there last year. I had to call the ambulance two times when I found the blond woman overdosed from heroin. <br /> They may not have crapped in the church last year but they certainly crapped in the park by Saint Mark's.<br /> These things are not necessarily in the paper but I live on the block.<br />This is not something we should live with....

The Yorkville Common Pantry on 109th has breakfast, showers, haircuts and laundry. Shelters have showers. Keep your clothes clean and use baby wipes. You can get by on 3-4 showers a week. Go to small local libraries that have a private mens room. 5 private minutes is time to brush, wash up etc. Recycle for laundry money. Good <br />luck with friends. They will let you shower once and thats it. People shun the homeless. You can stay clean and eat.

I worry all the time about how I'd manage to stay clean, so I guess that's the source of some of my empathy for those crustie kids; I'd loathe even a fraction of that sort of grime...it's a whole other level. Where can you shower without doing the shelter thing? I mean, are gym memberships and friends the only options? Are there public showers? I see some of you have experience with these matters. For real, I'd love to learn more about how to manage such a situation.

Port Authority Bus Terminal, Starbucks, fast food places. Apple stores on 14th and 59th. Holy Apostles soup kitchen in Chelsea-which operates M-F 10:30-12:30 is an option also. The park by Chelsea Piers has good bathrooms. I know because I used all these when I was homeless. Agree that the TSP bathroom is a disgrace and a health hazard. That's why I would go to the library instead. I operated out of a backpack and kept clean. But there are plenty of restrooms all over Manhattan. You can't smell and not shower and wear rags and expect bathroom access. Sorry. I had no issues. The Sony Building atrium in Midtown has clean facilities. There are libraries all over. The 24 Starbucks in Union Square and some 24hr McDonalds were reliable emergency spots. So there are places. Go to 31st -6th/7th to.the St Francis breadline.

Since you obviously LIKE to follow homeless people around to report on where they may be using the bathroom how about sending some of your fake homeless reporters out to find out how hard it is to find public bathrooms in the City. Also, have them use the Tompkins Square bathrooms and do a report on how they are filthy, never have toilet paper, smell horrible and have not been upgraded and made useable for years. Despite the fact that the neighborhood has been gentrified the Tompkins Square Park bathrooms are like third world toilets and people take a risk when they use them because the last time I looked the Men's room did not even have toilet seats on the toilets.<br />john penleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546048103371918505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-53473927615663061922015-08-01T14:12:27.902-04:002015-08-01T14:12:27.902-04:00What I don't get is why would they masturbate ...What I don't get is why would they masturbate when they can have sex with each other?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-42157411936300971382015-08-01T12:59:11.042-04:002015-08-01T12:59:11.042-04:00Anon 10:47/10:59- these arent college kids.

The stereotype of the rich college crustie isnt accurate. These people are in LA, Seattle, Portland, and SF. They have chosen to live like this. There are thousands of these people on the West Coast moving around. Jobs, sobriety, and apts are things they have no interest in. This is not a 'phase'. These people OD, go to jail, or end up in some trailer park in Nebraska. There is plenty of documentation. Amazing how a small group of crusties in the EV gets all this attention. There are hundreds of these people camped.in Venice Beach. This NY Post pic could be taken under every freeway overpass in LA. They have nothing in common with frat people. And they abuse animals.
