Who cares, you will continue to see it. Spend more time worrying about yourself and then maybe you can drive one
Exactly .
People get so wrapped up in stuff they can’t control and they become obsessed with it .
Their time would be far better spent learning to play the cards we are dealt , then complaining about the dealer or what someone else is doing that they can’t control

You spend far,far more time in this board than myself. What draws you to the conclusion that I'm "obsessed" with it. You have an interesting way of framing things. If Mathjak isn't interested in a topic, it shouldn't be discussed. If it is discussed, that means the poster is "obsessed" with it.
Are you "obsessed" with whatever you post on this board?
I don’t know if they changed things but it used to be that once you qualified for low income housing that there was no income cap … the caps were before you were in .
I believe you pay a percentage of that higher income which will put you at market rents in nice buildings if your income gets too high so why be there .
I would never want to raise my family in a city project . I grew up in one , that was enough .
I think if your income changes by more than 10% you have to notify them .
If you get caught not notifying them they can evict you for failure to report it
Yep. The rationale was that they wanted to diversify the projects and the benefits of having people of different socioeconomic backgrounds within an area (as opposed to only have poor people and all of the problems that come with that), etc., and that those who had moved on up would serve as examples and role models. I don't know if that's the same case now, but I recall there being an a newspaper article on the subject some years ago about how controversial the practice was. Not everyone in the projects was against this outcome, though.
Some may ask why one would still continue to live in the projects once one can afford to comfortably move out of the projects. I'd wager that the answer differs for many among those who choose to remain, but I wouldn't be shocked if the cost of living plays a huge role. In addition, many have friends and family in the area that they don't want to leave. Then there's the fact that not all projects are created equal, and some of them aren't actually terrible.

Reason: Typo
Reminds me that I just read something interesting.
t was explained that it is almost impossible to get car loans for low-end cars. The article mentioned someone with limited income who was obliged to opt for a more expensive car than he wanted in order to get a loan. Might be something like that. Also, your guy might have been borrowing the car. Okay, it makes a funny story, but since you're politicizing this, let's' keep alternatives in mind.
Do you actually believe any of the above? The mental gymnastics people go through to excuse welfare fraud.
Just goes to show how many people are wrapped up in welfare or know someone who is in NYC.

I like the various topics on the forum …but I don’t give a rats butt about what I can’t control …I spend lots of time on forums learning and passing on what I learn from those a lot smarter then me , especially in the investing and the personal finance forums , where instead of complaining we learn how to navigate the issues and do better ourselves .
Do you NOT understand that we fund posh lifestyles from our taxes? Funny, I've NEVER seen one complaint by you on your soapbox about this.
Your taxes, idiot, are funding politicians private jets, and the champagne they sip on while up in the air, and a plethora of other sh**. him using a EBT card is not a good reason for your raging bias against social service programs and those on them. Your hatred should be directed somewhere else, not the man who is putting food on his table. How does the OP even know that the BMW is his car? how do we know the card was his? So what if he's using it. You're acting as if you dipped in your wallet and cashapped him the money, which you did not do. for the 3rd time. this thread is moot, and loser. moron.
I've specifically complained many times on here about politicians on BOTH SIDES wasting our tax money and have even mentioned the private jets.And if I see someone using welfare who clearly doesn't need it I'll complain about that too.
I have kept mine close to 50k with no issues as well as many of my buddies still have theirs way over 60k with no issues .
On the other hand I would never buy another Jeep or Volvo.
I will likely go to another bmw at some point this year, likely an x5
Please don't ...... most BMW owners
agree that 80,000 miles to 120,000 is the lifespan.
I swore by Dodge for years. American made, close to home repair shop, cheap servicing.....and finally poor outcome.
Never again.
There are better bangs for the buck .......
