Hi, DoomDan
Please tell me why he should not move into nycha?
Would it be too dangerous?

Grow a pair and handle the situation the best you can if your only choice is to get this NYCHA spot. If someone's going to try and punk you, trust me, in the J's it doesn't matter what color you are, you better defend yourself.

You didn't say what your employment situation is. Likely there are places where you could have a lower cost of living, and maybe a better income.

Why stick around NY, when it doesn't look like it's doing anything for you?




Are you aware of the fact that there are single people living in nycha houses who have an annual income of $ 50,000, the highest limit?

Yes, I agree with Henna, Joseph.


You should go for your GED, you seem to be very smart.

There are plenty of whites living in NYCHA housing projects.
Coney Island has lots of whites living in projects, for example (Russians mainly, but not only Russians)
