your missing something - its not my home - i rent in a building in NYC - i am not the boss
not easy to do when your Italian
yes i agree - owning if you can is better - your home there - gets you a bottom of the barrel fixer upper - its not that easy to buy in NY
some people have no choice - its either that or homeless - you could forget wheelchair use - they may have a ramp out front and thats it - no electric doors that open when you approach - no security in the building - housing is a very big problem here - no solutions in site -

Nobody has to be homeless in this country. The gov will find you somewhere suitable, and pay for it. There is a banefit here called housing benefit. It pays rent or mortgage interest if you are not working. You only end up homeless if you spend that on booze, drugs, smokes, iphones, flat screen TVs, game machines, loans, credit cards, etc. So thats their business.
i was on waiting lists for years - i was called once - sure they found me a place - projects - not good area - nothing accessible - do you think i was going to take it -
so i waited and waited - till i got where i am now - but i did have a place in the meantime - just was not accessible - i didnt use a wheelchair then - i needed one also - but the housing was the first thing i needed to get - before i got my self in order - its a process - going from working to SSDI and the fun begins to find housing -
home care etc, - i think i spent 5 years
i have a good apt. top floor - 2 bed rooms - they just did the whole bathroom redone - kitchen been redone years ago - you wont find another place this size - its not easy to move when disabled wheelchair etc, - this building was built for this purpose 30 years ago maybe or 35 - for seniors and disabled
