@VinZine - But....you won't be living together so how will she experience it? You're removing her from the application, aren't you? She can witness it and experience it when she video phones you on your iPhone and experience it from a distance. How is low income in a nice area? Those are usually located in horrible places.
Why aren't you making more money with your masters? Teens will look at you and you are the portrait of their worst fear realized. Nobody wants to know people with multiple degrees don't make over 6 figures.
@HarlemResident - I take offense to your comment. I'm in finance and do very well. Middle income lotteries now allow applicants to make around 250K. I think 250K is a solid income that screams the individual is a success story.
For people who won low income lotteries and work at Starbucks, Pinkberry or Duane Reade are the furthest thing from success stories.
It just so happens that I work in education, and my field is not very lucrative financially. Initially, I put my mother on the application to be eligible for a 2 bedroom and at the same time give her that experience. She is in a decent living situation currently, she has several options. When I first applied, I didn't really know much about the lottery process and low income guidelines. Now that I know my mother would have to live there the whole time it kind of changes things. No grown man wants to live with his mother for the rest of his life, unless she absolutely needs me.

Conversely, I see this - if actually true - as an indication of everything that is wrong with our current culture and economy. Dumb and dumber in the most fundamental sense.
I assumed that or social work. It is to your credit that you are sticking with it.
Ignore the stupidity.
Thanks for understanding. My success goes so much deeper than anything materialistic. I get to make a difference in a child's life, that right there makes it all worth while. Although, I may never make money, I will play a pivotal role in future of our country.
Oh lord, now I'm even more depressed. I Didn't Know YOU Were A City employee. It is a crying shame. We all the know the world is BS, but if you feel rewarded at the end of the day then that is great. I have a friend who has 3 degrees because her dream was to work at the welfare office. Now, she hates her job, life and pretty much everything else. She keeps asking me: I don't understand how you make 6 figures with a BA alone. Then she says: I'm a minority and i need all my 3 degrees to go places and here I am depressed all day at work and hoping the people applying for welfare don't slice me with a switchblade all so I can make 35K and take home less than $900.00 after taxes every 2 weeks. Let's not even start on her 80K plus loan for grad school.
You'll win your appeal. Housing lotteries love city employees. I guess it's to give back since the majority all city employees make 35K - 55K and under.
@HarlemResident - Don't be mad or jealous because you don't get 250K.

Uh...dude, you're the one who sounds worked up, you keep dogging the guy's degrees and his income. Why are you so concerned about what people make? Calm down.

Oh be quiet. You are on every damn forum just yapping away. You don't know everyone else's situation and if @VinZine wants to live with mommy, WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU AND WHY IS IT YOUR BUSINESS?! There are plenty of people who live in "Low Income Lottery Apartments" in NICE areas. Tribeca being one, Chelsea being two, Midtown being three, and plenty other places. Stop yapping like you know everything about "Lottery Apartments". Run along now.
