For many years, social workers and city officials have been trying to get the homeless to leave their "home" in Time Square and move into housing. Most of the people agreed expect for one man named Heavy. Heavy, which is a nickname, has lived in Times Square for decades and he refuses housing because he wants to stay and watch over Times Square. Neighbors help him out by giving him food, money and warm clothes in the winter. Even though he causes no harm to the public, the officials are still trying to persuade him to move into housing and off of the city streets.
