Watch: ‘Homeless Mickey Mouse,’ crack smoke, and feces ravage streets of New York City

Zohran Mamdani, Democratic candidate for New York City’s mayoral race, once suggested “the abolition of property” as a solution to homelessness. By the looks of downtown NYC, the communist visionary is going to need to seize a lot of property to achieve that goal if he gets elected.

‘This guy was laying in his own crap in the middle of Times Square.’

As captured by independent reporter Oren Levy, the “harsh reality” that most ignore in the heart of the city is the insurmountable number of homeless people on the streets.

Not only are there thousands sleeping outdoors, but in 2025, the migrant and homeless crisis means sleeping on cardboard boxes or directly on the pavement in the middle of the sidewalk.

The investigative reporter has worked in the city for years, breaking stories about violent illegal aliens and child trafficking by gangs like Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua.

Levy says he witnesses new evidence of the city’s decay on a daily basis. For example, earlier this week, he saw a “homeless Mickey Mouse,” an individual in a dress, wearing a Mickey Mouse mascot head, passed out alongside some luggage between two plants, outside.

“That was a first. I thought I was tripping when I saw that,” Levy told Blaze News.

The rampant homelessness “shocks” tourists, the reporter said, and businesses are at their wits’ end over the matter.

Levy followed the mayor’s office closely in 2023 and 2024, and originally thought Mayor Eric Adams had his hands tied when it came to the city’s illegal immigration and sanctuary city laws. While the mayor said it was up to city council to change the city’s status, Levy later found out the mayor did possess the power to make necessary changes but declined to do so.

“If the mayor really wanted to change parts of the sanctuary city law, he can easily do so by adding it to the Charter Revision Commission and therefore bypass city council,” Levy explained.

“This guy was laying in his own crap in the middle of Times Square NYC and yes he was also [wiping] his butt,” Levy wrote on X.

Levy also hopes New Yorkers “wake up” before November’s mayoral election, when Mamdani (D), Mayor Adams (I), former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (I), and Curtis Sliwa (R) go head to head for control of the city.

However, the New Yorker does not believe Mamdani will end the homelessness crisis with his “far-left agenda.”

“Mamdani is anti-Israel, a socialist, and wants to replace cops with social workers,” Levy insisted.

“It will not end well.”
