Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday offered few specifics about a sprawling homeless encampment that has grown near the Intrepid Museum despite repeated complaints from New York City residents.The encampment stretches roughly 12 blocks along Manhattan's West Side, from 34th Street to 46th Street on 11th Avenue, according to the New York Post.The area is reportedly lined with tents, furniture, used needles and suspected stolen goods, while residents have also complained of open drug use and prostitution.Asked about the encampment, which sits near a major tourist destination as the city welcomes visitors for the FIFA World Cup, Mamdani said the city was "going to look into the details of that."DAVID MARCUS: COMMIE DEMS WOULD DESTROY EVERYTHING WORLD CUP FANS LOVE ABOUT AMERICAZohran Mamdani speaks to members of the media at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in the Queens borough of New York on Wednesday, Nov.
