People need a place to live. So if you put the people out where will they go? I worked for NYCHA 38 years and you have decent people living there. People with jobs making decent wages. Rent is based on 30% of their income. You have people paying 2K a month living in NYCHA. You can’t live no where else in the city paying that small amount of rent today. Studios in the Bronx is going for 2500. Stop putting the blame where it doesn’t belong.

I heard the gunshots from my place. We need law and order. This city is getting too lax, people are getting away with everything. Get this joker nightclub promoter out of the mayor’s office.

@vintage888 the Mayor doesn’t make the law stop blaming the Mayor He didn’t have anything to do with it, blame the City Council, and the legislature in Albany if you want to blame someone!
