Why N.Y.C.’s Public Housing was Unprepared for COVID-19 | The New Yorker

As COVID-19 cases in New York increase exponentially, the city’s poorest residents are left with little information or support from the New York City Housing Authority, turning its projects into ticking time bombs.

When this pandemic is over remember who saved humanity. It wasn’t billionaires, corporations, celebrities, or politicians, but nurses, doctors, teachers, grocery store workers, janitors, and drug store employees-i.e, the working class.

I have visited these projects many times due to my job. We should never judge and criticize these people because many of them simply dont have a choice. There are a lot of seniors, disable individuals and single women with children living there. Other people were raised in these plojects and thats the only thing they know. So, for them is their normal life. Please Never judge, life can change in a minute.

The point about access to information is ridiculous. Public housing is not an assisted-living facility.

If I learned one thing in college, it was don't grow roots in NY. New Yorkers pay $10k+ a year in property tax. I pay $1k. The odd thing is that New Yorkers continue to vote for the same party that enslaves them and then they think they are smarter than the rest of America. Maybe it's too late for the people in this bit to get out but if you are young and about to start your life, the first thing you need to do is GET OUT OF NY. New York is like quicksand ... It will suck you under

I don't get this. With a shortage of truck drivers in this nation by 250000 truck drivers as of 2017 which is way worse now. These people can't get out of this situation? The average truck driver makes 40 to $50,000 a year with some making up words of $150,000 a year. Go get a job and they'll even provide you with a place to stay right behind the cab. That's what I did to get myself out of the situation when I was a young adult. Been doing it for 30 years it's been the best choice I've ever made. There's so many jobs to be had out there if people are willing to do them. Totally understand the elderly and we need to get off our butts so does New York City and take care of the elderly in the single mothers and single fathers out there. We need to just get back to family. Because if it wasn't for my neighbors and my family I wouldn't be able to be a single father. Hopefully this virus brings us back to community.
