"Before moving to the Red Hook Houses 25 years ago, Ms. Dominick said she had been homeless. Public housing, she added, is the only home she can afford in New York".
25 YEARS?! 25 YEARS?! and not a single thing was done to improve her circumstances?
She needs to move somewhere cheaper and give some one else on the waitlist a chance to avail themselves of TEMPORARY cheap rent until they get on their feet. No grown able bodied adult should be allowed to live in NYCHA for 25 years. Yuck!
"But Ms. Dominick, an administrative assistant at a foster care agency"
So who do you expect to work this type of job in NYC, and for what pay? Kids can't do it because they're in school, and retirees are retired. Maybe the employer should make the job temporary too, like 5 years max, so that young adults don't stay in the same type of job forever, and give more young adults a chance.

That's exactly how I feel.
After 25 years, she still hadn't bettered herself and moved on???
WTF???
These housing buildings was supposed to be for people down on thier luck, etc...and a temporary home, NOT for 25 years, and than have family members in sucession....
Pregnant and did not have a job. Why is anyone pregnant without a job? She is a moron, her kid will be a moron and that kids kid will be a moron too. See the pattern?
exactly, one moron after another, and the beat goes on.............
the nerve to have a baby when she can barley afford herself, this all makes me so irate.
You all can try to find people to be mad at instead of fixing your own lives all you want, but when your parents need someone to wipe their asses, the person doing it instead of you will likely be living in public housing.

What does that have to do with being a responsible adult and paying your rent on-time?

I'm upset with the people in public housing not paying their rent. If they live there and pay their rent on time, I won't complain or post threads about it.
They're already getting a massive publicly funded subsidy that allows them to live there, meaning rents are subsidized by government. I have no sympathy for people who won't pay their extremely low publicly funded rent.

Exactly. Salaries are a pyramid. Someone is always going to be at the bottom. Where should they move to? A two-family house where there is no security against having to get out when the owner sells or dies?

Did I say they should move? No, I said they should pay their legally contracted rent.

You misinterpreted me. I am agreeing with you and disagreeing with the person who has a problem with having long-term tenants in NYCHA.
