When Nik-ki Coles first saw a luxury condo building going up near her Crown Heights home, she took it as a sign the neighborhood had finally turned a corner.
When the building suddenly became a homeless shelter, she took it as a slap in the face.
as much difficulty as NOLA is having getting people out of those FEMA trailers- just imagine how hard it's going to be convincing anyone to move out a place with a marble floor and master suite.
"I don't begrudge anyone a place to live, but it's a bit much: Marble floors, brand-new kitchen, master suites,"
Should they have put old, used kitchens in a new building?
More information.
The units were suppose to sell for $350,000 but there were no buyers so the developer signed a contract with a social services provider.
Quote:
This spring, Shriki signed a 10-year contract with the Bushwick Economic Development Group to turn the building into a homeless shelter.
**snip**
The city is paying Bushwick Economic Development Corp. $90 a night for each of the apartments, about $2,700 a month - a figure that also covers social services, housing help and job counseling designed to get families back on their feet.
That's $90/night/apartment, not person. Families can stay there.
Is there anything that happens in this country that you people don't like that you don't blame Obama? How about all this rain we've been having.....Obama's fault? **sheesh**

No, the rain is Bush's fault. It's a result of global warming, you know.

You seemed to have forgotten the last 8 years.
It is now Obama's watch and if anything happens at all, we will make sure you are up to date that Obama had his dirty little fingers in it one way or another.
Just how socialism works ya know!
Obama wants to take from the haves and give to the have nots. Since his mom was a welfare case he has always felt sorry for other welfare cases and wants to be a community organzier all his life, helping others with others money.

I can live with that. And that philosophy also allows us to say without any reservation that 9/11 was Bush's fault.
Thanks for keeping things simple for all of us.
