There's a lot of hate in much of the country among working class people for poor people who are entirely or nearly entirely taxpayer supported, especially if they aren't white. Read the posts on this forum.
I can guarantee you that the number of registered NYC democrats far outnumbers the number of NYC registered republicans that would like to see NYCHA residents pushed out into the ocean.

As for your 2nd idiotic paragraph, there is a difference between hate and realizing that there is an obvious issue. But of course it is always your intention to race bait. Its due to an insecurity of yours.

People in Nycha got $. Let them fix the buildings themselves. If someone lives in Nycha 10 years and never paid the electric bill, $50x12x10=6000. Now multiply that by 100000 apartments.

I always find it amazing how many late model foreign cars you see in project parking lots. "A brand new BMW with 20" rims? Really?"

I'm not opposed to this. Especially for the more working class residents. Public housing could be for the poor, while public co-ops could be for working class residents of NYCHA.

Not only that, but what landlord wants to rent new apartments to people that will tear them up with their mini football squads?
Vast majority of people in NYCHA in work genius.

No wonder you hate poor people. Your are rich as hell. You came from a silver spoon and never had to really get your hands dirty like working class NYCHA residents.

$160,000 lmfao.

If you ever had housing issues, all you need to do is go talk to daddy and get some money from his trust fund and he'll buy you a condo.

You pay taxes, boo hoo. We do to genius. Not all of us get paid living wages, and we need housing. Your whole move somewhere else theory doesn't work if people can't afford to live anywhere because of deuchebags like you calling for cuts to affordable housing

No, neither of us ask our parents for money and we don't have any kids for now, as we are both fairly young. We actually are working professionals in white collar jobs and we just happen to work quite hard and not look for "gubment" assistance. Imagine that.

People complaining, you are going to pay for it any how by cutting these programs, your taxes will than go to pay for more police due to higher crime thus paying more tax dollars to keep more of the population incarcerated prime example is Chicago right now.

I don't see the connection? Fear mongering to keep propping up NYCHA is just irresponsible on so many levels.

Don't see your connection either, making 160k which is comparable to my income bracket doesn't make you any better than anyone living in NYCHA, especially when all stacks are against you from design to ever leaving it.
