(DNAINFO) Camille Bautista | March 10, 2017 — Mayor Bill de Blasio faced questions and criticism Thursday over his plan to open 90 new homeless shelters throughout the city, including dissent from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.

“I don’t agree with the plan as it’s laid out for several reasons, and the mayor is a friend and ally, but those who know me know I’m candid in my analysis,” Adams said at de Blasio’s town hall in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

“When I read the plan, listen, I was angry, and I tensed up. And I said listen, we have to do something to make sure that this community is treated fairly.”

Thursday’s town hall at P.S 23 on Willoughby Avenue comes a week after the mayor announced his plan to open more shelters and shutter 360 cluster sites. The administration looks to cut the 60,000-plus homeless population by 2,500 over the next five years.
