Notice how no one is complaining about his race not being given and him being described as "light complexion" either.

What did they say that was wrong?

Staff doesn't equal beds. I am not saying that they shouldn't strike or get better conditions. I'm pointing out the mayors "just send edp's to hospital phsych units" plan isn't a reality.

So where are all the folks the Mayor said would be compelled to go to these hospitals going to go? Oh right, it was always a sham policy with nowhere to actually put folks.

Maybe the general public and Reddit just have different tastes? I loved Andor but know 0 people who watch jt

You clearly have never read anything about the Pastor before. They have a documented friendship.

Not sure what’s confusing about what I said

Wait til you find out about elementary school teachers…

I mean lots or progressive policies have been won in New York by churches but go off

ETA: affordable housing, police reform, protections for immigrants, school improvements and reductions in crime just to name a few.

My guess is most these folks have never been in a church or helped serve food or donate at one, yet likely post about god on Facebook a lot

I think it was pretty clear OP was trying to make a comment on guns that was stupid. Hence my reply. The cops absolutely do not enforce traffic laws though

Because I can’t use my gun to commute to work and delivery’s can’t be completed by gun? This a serious question??

How about we just highly regulate them and mandate training / permitting and regular inspections

RAD is not privatization.

That's not how the trust actually works. It converts from section 9 housing to section 8, which you get more federal dollars for per unit. This allows the private companies to collect more money for the rehab work that needs to be done. Same deal virtually as RAD/PACT.

And yes, I know it has always been federally funded, but the city and state ALSO have always put in money. The City also has the ability to manage the Chair and the CEO thus requiring them to pay attention to NYCHA (something this city and state have not done aside from the Trust).

Yes, things got much worse in the 80's, but again even in the early 80's it wasn't what it was today, where the crime rate is demonstrably higher.

That’s one article. Look up historic crime rates in NYCHA. Talk to NYCHa residents who have lived there for 50+ years (I know scores). It was absolutely nicer

I understand how it’s funded, but it does get funding from city and state as well. But yes the federal government should ALSO fund these programs more.

Fact is the city and state didn’t used to take such a back seat to the funding.

I mean, NYCHA worked well when the city and state were investing in it. During the 70's and 80's it actually was considered a great place to live, and didn't have its rep for crime until later in it's lifespan.

I think saying "NYCHA is bad now that everyone decided not to care about funding it anymore" is kind of missing the lengthy successful history of NYCHA.

Yes I know that people voted for him in Brownsville but for a myriad of different reasons. I know it’s hard for people who don’t spend time in these neighborhoods to know that, but actually Adams spent a shit ton of time in Brownsville building relationships for his campaign

Are we allowed to talk about crime stats without being told “yoU DoNt CaRe aBoUt ViCtimS” anymore? Cause that virtue signaling shit was exhausting.

Brownsville is not United with Bay Ridge. That’s likely why you’re getting downvotes. It’s complete rubbish. They have back the blue and trump rally’s in bay ridge soon. That shit wouldn’t make it a half block in Brownsville

Just making shit up

They can’t, and don’t. But let’s not pretend people don’t frequently just say “it’s the non profits!” When reality is that most non profits are tiny, pay very little salary and are filled with people just trying to improve the city or provide essential social services.

Eh, I think most non profits barely scrape by. Could focus on the big ones, but focusing on small non profits that barely scrape by as is and forcing them into more regulation seems a recipe for disaster.

Why them and not say the billion dollar development or construction companies that cash government contracts all day?
