This goes back beyond ten years.. and it's a 360 really. The gov't supports big business preying on the people, so the inverse is only natural. Today you see people preying on business AND the government. One fuels the other when you think bout it.
The whole system is collapsing on both sides though.
Yes, it is.
People do not see it. This astonishes me.
I was pleasantly surprised to read the comments here. Most supported the concept of improved security at the entrances to public housing. Compare this with the knee-jerk reaction of other politicians, who don't have to live in the PJs & put up with the depredations.
With 20% of NYC crime occurring in public housing, when only 5% of NYers live there, the comment by the mayor acknowledges that tenant need improved security in their residences. Of course, there is always a percentage that profits off crime against their neighbors.
Some of the comments, about the need for tenant involvement, are on the money. IMO, everyone living in a building needs to play some direct role in securing it; whether they work the form door, patrol the halls, or monitor the playgrounds. It should be part of the price of admission.
Anyone arrested for a crime against another resident, or for selling drugs, should be banned from all public housing, as a bail condition. Then, Momma isn't thrown out in the street, but sonny has to live outdoors, until he's off probation or parole. If he's found back in the apt., then she goes, too.

Many will agree with you & Tiberius.
Hundreds of years ago, some French philosopher wrote, "Two-thirds of society support the other third." The only question is which end. Currently, we all prop up the 1%, perhaps a few more, while the bottom third may have become 47%, if you believe Romney.
i used to work for a manufacturer of biometric locks. fingerprint locks are even less robust than normal locks. the reader mechanism will get broken twice as quickly as a plain old lock
in addition most of them have failsafe override via traditional keys anyway
access control via credentials or biometrics really only increase security when key management is a problem (need to re-key lock cylinders when a key is lost, people make copies for their friends, etc), or when you want different access permissions based on time of day. neither apply to housing projects
i expect some skilled salesman from a security vendor pushed this
Why did nobody touch this post. I'm giving reps.

What is the problem? If your collecting from the goverments nipple, they should be able to keep an eye on you.... Just like when we were kids and our parents supported us... Tell these mooches to stop crying and get some self respect and a job.
The jews were given yellow armbands. Any difference ?
My response is: Comparing open racial segregation, those who would become holocaust victims, to communities of poor people in 2013 is beyond outrageous.
Just when I though I had seen the bottom of the barrel regarding ignorance.

and u probably dont know this but alot of ppl in the projects DO have jobs you know......they just dont pay alot.....barely enough for the basics.....does the phrase working poor mean anything to you?
