In other words ,we build here for those with money and build there (elsewhere) for those without money.
And elsewhere is your middle class neighborhood and mine!

Well , if that is the avenue the city wishes to navigate without any say by the communities at risk
then it is only fair that the houseless being forcefully welcomed into our neighborhoods come without criminal records.

and the better question..............

Why won't developers incorporate affordable housing right into their future construction plans
rather than sending construction for the houseless into some one elses' neighborhood ?

Hmmmmmmm? It always was and always will be............... all about the money.
It sounds like you are advocating for "those with money" to be forced to pay for an additional home for "the houseless" but in other neighborhoods?

This post is pretty hard to follow.

Insane psychopaths, you mean like the "progressives" who enrich Putin and enabled the Ukraine war by killing the American fossil fuel industry?

I'll say it out loud. "Progressives" are Putin's biggest supporters and have blood on their hands.

With this being said, are welfare checks taxed? How does that really work?
Leave it to lefties to defend welfare leeches by claiming they're just as beneficial as skilled Lockheed employees, and then, admit they actually don't even know how welfare works

This topic isnt worth debating. Hope a meteor hits manhattan center on. a big one too so water can fill its place.

Floridians for ex, pay 0% in state tax while DeSantis is building a whole city, while you paid 40k a year to Cuomo for renaming the Tappanzee. There is one thing I love about this place. If you tell Floridians there is a hurricane is coming, at least some will evac. If you tell people here that, they will still be in the subway drinking their starbucks coffee. Head in grass. No point debating.
Shhh, don't trigger the diehard liberal NYers who gleefully say living in a money pit with crumbling infrastructure is what makes this place so specialâ„¢

The welfare state voters are strong in places like the Bronx, land of 25 year old grandmothers.

Actually this is correct. A relative works in a welfare office and I hear all the stories how generations are on welfare.

Kill welfare, let garbage wash away and things will get a lot better for the middle class.
But wait, no one cares about the middle class.

It's a very naive view of the world. How do you think the Nazis and Japanese were vanquished? What kept the Soviets at bay?
