@AQuietNight I agree, but those standards require investment, and New York is an example of pure neglect.

Great idea to let unqualified working on elevators and boilers...

@AQuietNight no, it’s the government cutting funding below what is necessary. The roof and boilers were not trashed, but too old.

@tavernburner3066 do you wish that the money goes to public services or private investors? That is the difference between (sufficiently funded) public housing and private housing.
