On the Staten Island Ferry early this summer, then on to Ridgewood, Queens

Here's a job for you - working at the Liberty Cafe aboard the Staten Island Ferry

On Staten Island, someone has found a quiet corner to call home, temporarily. Why don't we have enough resources to house everyone? Why have to claim this spot? it's in a remote corner of the Ferry Terminal building.
