Business owners in Manhattan's Garment District are having to hire their own police force due to drug dealing and loitering.Some businesses and property owners on 8th Ave between 35th Street and 38th Street in Manhattan say they’re fed up with what they see as a drug and homeless problem.
"If you have six men who look kind of sketchy all hanging out in front of your store all day long," Blair says, "Or they erupt in a fight and spill into your store… no one wants to go in there anymore." He says their retailers would "send pictures of people doing drugs in front of the building… [and] pictures of homeless people sleeping in front of their doors."
A man named James, who is homeless, tells us cops and private guards seem to focus "all their energy on panhandlers that are not harming anybody.""I said, ‘It’s a free country— what do you mean I can’t stand on this block?""If you’re homeless it’s like you’re supposed to just vanish and die."
