#NYC homeless man says he ‘agrees’ with homeless hotel concerns

A homeless man said he understands New York City residents’ concerns about vagrants being moved into hotels, saying no one wants “craziness” at their front door.

Sal Salomon is one of hundreds of homeless dumped at the makeshift shelters — a move by the city that’s drawn ire from local residents and complaints of drug use and other crime.

“A part of me agrees with them,” Salomon, 48, told CBS New York. “Who wants craziness in front of your doorstep?”

Salomon has been in and out of shelters in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, comparing them to “prison.”

The avid singer, who worked on a song for the Oscar-nominated movie “The Wrestler,” hit a downward spiral of depression after his brother, parents and close friend all died.

His marriage went down the drain — and then, he found himself on the streets.

“Sleeping on a bench, sleeping on a train, I totally didn’t want to live,” Salomon said, choking up. “I wound up becoming one of those people that you look at.”

He recently left a hotel near John F. Kennedy International Airport and is staying at a relative’s place in Hell’s Kitchen.

He suggested that the city spend more time investing in services that actually help the homeless — instead of shunting them around from hotel to hotel.

“Help divert these funds that are going to these private companies, that are just warehousing them, and use those funds for qualified psychiatrists,” Salomon said.
