Around late 60s and these times are when black & Latinos got moved to the projects. Everyone grew up in nice homes then something in the 60s moved em to the projects. All my aunts uncles and ppl born in the 1950s have childhood stories like these.
They had to go through ellis island, where they were stripped naked and looked at by a doctor, washed down, finger printed, picture taken, vaccines put in them, then put into holding cell for 2 weeks before released into NYC. But today you can just cross the border in mexico and walk right in...

2024, we are still struggling . Housing is horrible in getting an apartment. Some housing workers are corrupt, social services are corrupt, police some are corrupt , judges are corrupt, and where do we poor people turn to .
We should be turning to each other. Humans have existed far longer than many things we think we need or think we need to buy from name brands. Pray. Go within. Find your gift! We have to help each other!

Happens in Washington Heights, the landlords cut up the rent checks of Spanish speakers and claim no payment to evict decades old tenants in order to rent higher to gentrifiers
Same people that cried in the 70s when the landlords had to burn the buildings bc the expenses were too high and they couldn't afford to give housing for nothing.. remember it was a few years after a little something called rent control lol
Still same things are happening again 😢 People with money want to be able to walk their fancy dogs 🐩 while heading to their favorite coffee ☕️ shops unbothered by what’s around them 😢
