I’m so tired of Black people having to be the bigger person in racial situations

Housing connect isn't for native New Yorkers. They're building those apartments for transplants. It's sad!

Yeah, it’s rough for longtime residents. Tbh, Housing Connect is giving these apartments to people relocating to NYC for jobs paying $150k–$400k.

I recently got called for/won after being on there for YEARS. Meanwhile two of my coworkers, not from here, got called for MULTIPLE apartments within a year. Something’s not adding up

Mind you, deed theft is happening putting people out of homes that they own on top of it. Further distancing generations from stability. The system is systeming.
We gotta have some town hall meetings about the housing crisis we’re in. Cause housing connect is a joke. I’ve been registered on there since 2008 (!!) and I’ve been called for ONE apartment.

That nasty unsettling dream I had a few nights ago is making sense now. Ugh.

I used to commute from South side Jamaica queens to East Harlem everyday. A bus or a van to the E train, transfer at 51st to the 5, transfer at 59th to the 6, get off at 110th and walk. It would be at least 1:30, door to door. Sometimes I’d do it alone!
Someone should write an article on high school kids in NYC and their insane commutes. I've spoken to kids commuting two hours both ways everyday. One kid at the Tech open house told me he comes to Brooklyn from "past Flushing". Mind blowing.

A 20-something year old Brooklyn native is beating the brakes off every “housing” reporter in NYC
NYC is planning to demolish Chelsea Houses, a public housing development in one of Manhattan’s wealthiest neighborhoods. Revitalization or gentrification? You decide.

We gotta stop thinking that there’s a lack of understanding re: our lived experiences as Black women. These people simply do not care. We can’t keep pleading for humanity from people who don’t see us as human!
Several white women articulated they didn’t know that 600,000 Black women had been pushed out of the job market because of this administrations attack on DEI. This explains why so many white women don’t understand the assignment.
