Other Added 156d ago · originally reported 161d ago Why the delay? Events only appear once a second similar article confirms the story. Additionally, many feeds (especially Google News-proxied sources like CNN, NYT, WSJ, WaPo) can take 10-20+ hours to index new articles.

Homeless couple camps on sidewalk in Astoria, Queens engaging in public sex and defecation
A homeless couple identified as Michael and Marabel has been living on a sidewalk on 30th Avenue near Steinway Street in Astoria, Queens for about a month. Neighbors report witnessing the couple having sex in public, defecating in pizza boxes, and threatening cleaning crews. Police say they have received multiple calls but claim no proof of illegal activities, and city officials say the encampment doesn't qualify for removal because it lacks built structures.
