There are at least 20 lottery threads on the first page. Mod needs to give those members a special place to go to compare log numbers.

YES! A separate sub forum for NYCHA and a sub forum for Affordable Housing. I have no idea why it hasn't been implemented yet

Forum is for "New York City", not "New York City Housing" or "New York City Affordable/Lottery Housing".


More and more there is nothing going on in this group than affordable/lottery posts. It simply crowds everything else out. Just when you think things are done, up comes another.


Nearly half of the new threads are revisions or making same queries of information found already in other threads.

No, and that's a bad route. Then you'd need a separate jobs section, a separate tourism section, etc.

Seems to me a lot of housing posts are repetitive. Maybe it just needs a sticky.

It would be helpful to those who are interested in the affordable housing lotteries to have their own subforum. All the info would be in one place, easier to find those threads

Just counted @ 30 affordable housing threads on the first page interspersed among the general threads.. The AF threads push the other topics off the front page into oblivion and vice versa.

Economics has separate subfora for investors, frugal living, etc.Food separated out recipes and alcohol drinks. Easier for people with specific interests to find what they want.

I tried guys.

Ur humble NYC native take no bull**** mod tried. I wanted the sub-forum. But to no avail.

I personally don't like the threads. The few I've popped in on was more of me wanting to know more personal info about the complex, on terms of demographics, quality of life, etc.

But it is par for the course nowadays (shoutout to stormgal).

Who am I to hate on somebody trying to find a place to live for their family??????????????

Carry on.

OK, then how about a NYC housing lottery chat thread, like a sticky at the top. Some forums have those.

Thanks for trying, seventh.. This would be a good thread to sticky on housing lotteries to cut down on general questions on how AH works, etc.
