NYC is really getting you guys down. Look, the projects aren't going anywhere. It's federal law that you can't demolish public housing unless you replace it with public housing. Look at Newark - they're doing the same thing Chicago is. The buildings are still structurally sound. Majority of the issues you hear about are leaks and mold. You don't hear about the facades of NYCHA chipping off, like that 2 year old that got killed on the Upper West Side. Sorry but the reality is not everybody works for a high salary in NYC, and there are jobs that just don't command a high salary that need to employ people. Can't go to Long Island or Westchester - they're just as expensive as NYC for rent. Guess we'll just rely on a rotating staff of high school kids and elderly to ring me up for my Band-Aids and cough syrup. It won't happen. It would be nice if every adult in the US got a bachelors - it's not happening!
Even with a bachelor degree you are not guarantee a high salary in this city. The majority of jobs don't pay well. You have to be part of a union or working on Wall Street to make good $$$$ in NYC.

Many professional jobs rewuire masters or other advanced degrees. And/or union membership, licenses, or certification. With just bachelors degree enjoy some low paying secretarial job. Basically you are absolutely right.
Conservatives who like to tout the "failed" liberal cities like Detroit, always gloss over the fact that the greatest and richest cities in the world are all "liberal". New York, London anyone? What do conservatives have? Oklahoma City?
The liberal cities on this list are generally much wealthier than the conservative ones.
Liberal places are also centers of innovation. There is exactly 1 billionaire between all of those conservative cities and about 300 in the liberal column. There are about 290 Fortune 500 companies in the liberal column and only 8 in the conservative column. Innovation by liberals is the reason the United States is the most competitive country in the world. Without things like NYC, Silicon Valley, Hollywood & the arts, the United States would be an oversized trailer park and would have no global appeal.
Virginia Beach should probably be number one on that most conservative list.
Sorry to post here but I'm hoping someone who can help will see this. I am certified to Wyckoff Gardens and desperately need to move. I'm about to get evicted and am having trouble finding an apt my family can afford. Who can I see to speed up this process? Anyone please tell me. If I have to go to 250 Broadway everyday and plead my case I will if it'll help.
Is NYCHA going to charge their tenants for electricity or water?
