I'm sorry, I'm having a bad day – I am not trying to be combative, specially with a topic related to Adams, who's horrible in all ways to refugees and stateless people right now. I just see a lot of casual xenophobia around my neighborhood (I live near a lot of Haitians) and it sucks, and I get defensive. Sorry again to you both

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/25/nyregion/migrants-debit-cards-nyc.html wow $1400 a month for food.

My wife and I spend about $600 a month at the grocery store for the two of us, and we eat good food and buy things that would be considered luxuries by the kind of people who get pissed off at migrants or poor people on food assistance programs, so $1400 for four people seems pretty good.

Man, i don’t live in that food desert, but that seems helpful. It’s starting with 10 whole families, because they funded it initially from what they dug out the couch. 10 families?!

USDA national numbers https://fns-prod.azureedge.us/sites/default/files/resource-files/Cost_Of_Food_Low_Moderate_Liberal_Food_Plans_February_2024.pdf
low cost plan is about $250 per person per month. round up for NYC and then don't ask people to eat shit, and you get $1400+ for a family of four.

I doubt migrants have a lot of access to facilities for food storage or cooking in that area. Some pleb with a chest freezer and an instant pot could probably live like a king or whatever

Weird that Quinn does that at way below market rate. Only shows that they feel like they’re getting something else out of it. Whole thing is fucked up and I dont understand why a city law dept attorney can’t defend him.

It really seems like there’s nothing good about him. DeBlas at least had a few bright spots. Universal pre-k stands out.
