Hi, I'm a loving grandfather and can be your grandfather too if you never had one! Looking for a roommate to split the rent with. Section 8 recipient, so can afford the rent. If not, you can call the po po and put me out!

@OP,

I think you should aspire towards more than moving to NYC and wanting to live in section 8 housing. Those establishments are very unpleasant and really for people who are destitute or accidentally had 3 plus kids out of wedlock with different fathers.

With that being said, people should be happy when coming home after a long day at work and should not have to see those sad red bricks, beige government colored walls and tenants that urinate in their own elevator while a used condom is on the floor.
Nobody wants to be subjected to that.

@AndyMac,

You may as well stay where you are. I am sure your rent is dirt cheap and not many people like the Bronx, but you probably won't find anything cheaper unless you rent a room for $500 or $600 a month. The only places that offer that are other bad areas like Harlem or Jamaica Queens. People that rent out rooms for that price are also struggling to make ends meet.

@PierrePont,

So true it is an accident. I know many woman who have tons of kids with different fathers. They are just hopeless romantics. They always tell me they thought Tyrone truly cared and loved them, so they all proceeded to have unprotected sex because they said it was true love. Also, they were honest and said they couldn't bear to spend money on buying condoms. Totally understandable. It does get expensive buying those everytime someone shows true love to another person.

As my best friend once said: I love thug passion, but they always do me wrong.

LMAO... There's something called buying in bulk. I guess they never heard of that either. True love.

I swear. They always tell me they have unprotected sex with Tyrone cause they thought it was true love. They didn't expect to be pregnant at 18 while being a barista.

@PierrePont,

Close your legs to married men? Mine is always open and tight like a 13 year old girl.

Oh, my friend is calling me to give me the details on drama with Tyrone. Ciao!

Thread was started in 2010, over eighteen years ago now. Am sure OP has moved on or at least sorted themselves out by now.
