Hmmm..I know...and I know about the attitudes that still prevail today.The Bronx was terrible..Queens was as bad if not worse..and Brooklyn needed the stock to get rid of all the rundown shacks tenements that were still standing...Brooklyn's major Housing plan during the 50's 60 replaced more shacks[mind you,some of thee SHOULD have been preserved/rebuilt at a cheaper cost than building UGLY monster highrises] Manhattan built them for unscaled folks..that didnt turn out as planned.. Staten Island built it houses for mostly the elderly..and land clearing/renewals like Brooklyn and Far Rockaway.. Look..I had family that lived in NYCHA..it wasn't a picnic..but to them it was home. Its not the houses that are the problem..its the "SCREENING" PROCESS for applicants that need fixing..plus removing the tenants that are trouble makers..Also..its about time to make long term tenants purchase their homes,and pay a maintenance fee. you cant buy..you have ta move. |
