Brooklyn Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo today said that a number of her constituents “don’t understand” the growing population of Asians moving into public housing units in her district.

Ms. Cumbo told Shola Olatoye, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of the New York City Housing Authority, at a hearing of the council’s public housing committee that residents in her district are perplexed that so many non-English speaking immigrants are moving into certain developments. The African-American Councilwoman stressed that she appreciates the rich cultural heritage Asians bring, but that many people wonder why the new arrivals are being allowed in to the apparent exclusion of others.

 

I guess we can just end the charade that public assistance is intended to help everyone.

Market Street gets the sidewalks regularly scrubbed every morning. If you walk sown it near Van Ness, the store owners have to clean off the urine from the doorways every morning. If you are lucky you get to see a homeless woman changing her clothes right on the sidewalk. Luckily she had long johns on.
