If you could only get your mom to pay your rent, the tax payers would be off the hook.

You're only 21 and looking to mooch the system already? Why not go back to school and train for a more monetarily lucrative field of work?

I'm 20, I won't be 21 till next month. I like my job and it will make me more money eventually, but I'm still a noob. I can't go to school you need a HS diploma or GED to go to college, neither of which are in my possession.

If you read the thread someone gave me the idea to move down across the Guinea Gangplank to Staten Island, I could find a basement apartment in New Dorp for an amount I can afford.

Why don't you study for your GED instead of insulting Italians on Staten Island?

Can you answer my question, why can't you study for your GED?

Because it won't do enough good to justify the investment of time and money.

You write in an intelligent manner. I think you'd do well with the GED if you put your mind to it. But obviously you have to be motivated to start. If and when you find that you are motivated, you can find many test-prep classes for free in NYC like Pre-HSE Preparation | Brooklyn Public Library and TASC Resources: Find Free Classes and Test Prep for the High School Equivalency Exam (Formerly GED) | The New York Public Library

Yes...however in my first post I acknowledged that there was no demographic breakdown. Just numbers that reflect the percentages of Whites in public housing in NYCHA.

So, when you said you looked and it wasn't there, I thought you were referring to what I found, which is overall totals by race/ethnicity. This is why I told you to look again.
