Mohamed Rasul is homeless in New York City. But don't feel too sorry for him, he's "homeless by choice." He's got a free laptop and free Wi-Fi in Bryant Park.
According to Mohamed, he's "never been as comfortable as under de Blasio" because no one forces him to leave the park where a miniature carousel spins children around on painted horses and a yoga lesson takes place on the main lawn. These things, the carousel, the yoga lesson and the free Wi-Fi, only exist because the park was restored from its old days as Needle Park.
Back then the stretch of park behind the New York Public Library had more crimes than some towns. Cleaning it up took a lot of hard work.
