HOPE Count Down

So the big news around DHS these days is that the results are in, and HOPE 2008 shows the homeless street population has decreased 12% since last year. If you want the long of it, check out the mayor's press release, and if you want the short of it, here's a short entry from the NYTimes City Room blog. The latter piece comes complete with a few public comments. People are already disputing the methodology of the count, and there was a slight public controversy because the guy from Columbia who ran the last two counts didn't do it this year. I leave it to them to debate.
