For our urban areas our number one and two issues are jobs..and guns…along with affordability and greening communities….i was in a neighborhood in NYC where a 45 caliber bullet had pierced a home of a mom and two kids we rehabbed their place at…horrified, we thanked God they were alive….stopping the police, I asked who can I talk to ….in the 101st precinct…near the homes, were NYCHA housing..people whose rent, continues to be not giving them wealth but passing it on to management..whatever that means…imagine if each unit was ownership…each family taxpayers, each neighbor a strong voice….
Jobs for manufacturing are part of the solution too…our made in America shop..is off and running, a buzz..order your furniture from us..we are transforming another area that we are honored to be part of…
Combined with decent places to live, and greenspace…communities can come back..be safe, kids have jobs and green space… and less guns..and or no guns….we pray, we act…we have just begun…..
