Maybe. Maybe.
 


Are The Residents of New York City Public Housing Poor?

by Francis Menton
("The Manhattan Contrarian")




...Here is the nub of the problem: These are people who are provided by government with resources of value far in excess of the amount deemed to constitute the federal poverty "threshold." In the official measures, these additional resources are not counted, and the recipients are therefore, for the most part, deemed "poor." But should the additional resources be counted? If these resources don't count toward alleviating poverty, why again do we provide them?

First, consider a profile for a typical New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) family. NYCHA in 2017 reported the "average" income of its resident families as $24,336, and the average monthly rent as $509. The $24,336 is slightly below the 2018 federal poverty threshold for a family of 4, which is $25,100. Thus it is likely that about half, or somewhat more, of NYCHA families are said to be "in poverty." But of course, the $24,336 does not include any increment for the implicit subsidy of the NYCHA apartment. How much is that? Because it is not paid in cash, there are different ways to value it. One way would be to take the annual HUD operating subsidy to NYCHA, which is about $2 billion, and the forgiven NYC property taxes, which would be at least $500 million, and divide that up among the 170,000 +/- NYCHA apartments. That is basically the methodology used by Mr. Early in his study discussed in yesterday's post. That methodology would give you an implicit subsidy of about $15,000 per year per NYCHA apartment. But that is a very low-end way of looking at it. At the high end, you could value the NYCHA apartments by looking to what comparable apartments in their neighborhoods are currently renting for. By this alternative methodology, many NYCHA apartments -- particularly those now located in fancy Manhattan neighborhoods, and those lining the Lower East Side waterfront -- come with annual subsidies in the range of $50,000 and even $100,000 per apartment...

Poor sixty-something nubile-lusting Keurig Boy. You can only join in on the reindeer games and keep sniping from the latter-day midlife crisis schmuck ledge what you used to be, lest mama Laurel snips your twigs again.
K-cups are satanic, same as Facebook and some GBers, but we put up with them because they're not worth more effort.
 
Dunno about homophobes. But Que is the board's biggest flaming panty sniffer. Helped cause the end of his marriage, in fact.

Me personally? In no discernible way. But that, in Que's regret and pathetic lonely existence, he lashes out and the board suffers. :(

Can you come up with a new fictional fetish for me or at least flesh this one out a bit? I feel you are losing "the board's" interest with this storyline.

Kthx.

Oh look, diddums is attributing someone else's comments to me.

I make a habit out of doing things that people say I can't do: walk through fire, water ski blindfolded, take up piano at a late age.

You can't murder queefy, you're just a weak little girl. Then again so is he...
 
To you? Nothing. To a man, they are physically weaker.
You seem less than enlightened in your rigid definition of what makes a "man."

Couple of lbs of trigger-pull doesn't seem insurmountable. You're advocating murder of another poster, why does she have to beat me with her bare hands that seems rather primitive.

What is it that has your panties in a twist tonight? Feel free to unburden yourself here. You are among friends, right?

You don't waste ammo on a field mouse, you just stomp it's skull with your boot. :)
 
Sorry to hear. I got a similar call yesterday. A cousin who was a year older passed.

My condolences Thor.

Well now, I really don't feel right at all today.

I will be better in the morning.

I understand. I hope you felt better in the morning.

I never did learn how to play a musical instrument. Good on you. Enjoy doing it because you want to, not because you have expectations of becoming a concert pianist.

Oh and Monday kinda sucked.

"It is skull?"

You seem very angry lately. Is everything okay at home between you and the refrigerator? You didn't pop a staple again did you?
 
Diddums has been working through the night attributing other people's posts to me. If he spent as much time trying to repair his relationship with his estranged children as he does trolling me, perhaps his youngest daughter wouldn't shriek in fear and hide behind Mom when "that man" comes to visit.
