Easter monday addendum
The headline reads.. Westchester fights 150 million dollar housing suit..Often i have stated that Yonkers should not have taken the brunt of the housing crisis in this county..but it was a county responsibilitiy...apparently others feel the same way.. i am not into lawsuits, I am into homes...but the point has been made that smoke and mirrors no more..that we have to hold accountable all towns and cities that have faked doing affordable housing..there are total non integrated towns in this county...there are total towns that dont have any of their workers living here...time to change it..the headline validates this...may the 150 million no matter on what side go into affordable homes...with habitat..it is OUR TIME!
Another article talks about the Public housing that exists in Winbrook.I have been to White PLains public Housing, Yonkers, New Rochelle and more...I have been to public housing in Newark and in Paterson..
the director of White Plains housing when i first met him...Mack Carter, is a good man...i have been with him, and when he called Winbrook residences instead of projects, i knew the man cared...clean neat meticuolous.. he wants a quality of life for people that is to better themselves....the article is critical..but Mack has done a good job.
My only hope having seen and helped to paint community residences..helping to clean municipal lots in Mulford Gardens, now being knocked down, and in Cottage apartments, well kept...that these could be turned over to ownership..that they could be changed to have made into peoples wealth rather than renters..when policies and projects were made, in the War on Poverty...rentals and management was made.. money has run out..but when someone owns their home..they take care of it, they love it, they take care of it, they find a way....perhaps a new shift is in the making...
anyway congrads to all those housing directors, Steve Horton, Mac Carter and more who help make decent places to live in their communities... God bless, jjk
pss Lois Bronx, the headline reads she is Retiring.. a loss only in name, Lois will continue to advocate for us.. she will continue to fight for people to live in simple decent homes. no question.. God bless you Lois and Chuck..more honors and accolades to come.. jjk
