Jackson Heights fire victims about to be kicked to the curb

So where are the elected officials who represent this area? Out on the campaign trail pimping for progressive candidates instead of helping their constituents? I can't help but notice the absence of Danny Dromm in this piece. Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas gets a temporary pass because she's in Albany. Jessica Ramos showed up and said she was heartbroken but that's about it. How about tapping into Mutual Aid and BLM funds? After all, all that money was raised "for the community!" (/end sarcasm)

JQ LLC: Danny Dromm has been more concerned with turning the avenue that charred building is on into a "linear park". Even after the inferno displaced hundreds of tenants.

Also absent in de Blasio's HPD's sadistic treatment of these people is his buddy and upper class Windsor Terrace neighbor Stephen Banks of the Department of Social Services, which is still using hotels to shelter people who are mentally ill or just came out of prison, but for some reason the D.S.S. doesn't seem to think hotels cannot be utilized for people who have been disenfranchised from their homes and community by fire.

Isn't it funny that the people who promise free shit to the masses in return for votes act absolutely impotent when a crisis happens? Standing at a microphone and announcing that you're heartbroken passes for leadership these days. She'll get re-elected, too.

The premise of your post is bs.It's the job of the politicians to advocate for policies that affect the communities they represent, not to remedy individual financial situations.
If these politicians were directing their efforts at funneling funds to help individual families you would be criticizing that too.

The victims of this unfortunate situation were renters. They are not going back to their building anytime in the near future, and presumably they are not paying rent there anymore. I sympathize with their plight, but should the city pay to house them indefinitely? If it did, you would be criticizing that too.

So Queens Crapper, if your take is that these fire victims are about to be kicked to the curb, how long do YOU think the city should pay to house them for?

In the end, the so-called progressives are nothing more than a bunch of cotton-headed, mealy-mouthed , wishy-washy simpletons. They could care less for the people they supposedly want to help.

JQLLC has many "Progressive" views. Some IMHO good and some not. Just saying...

Hello, do you think they aren't going to be in a homeless shelter indefinitely after their HPD vouchers run out?

Where did Crapper suggest that they be on the city dole anyway? The suggestion was that the electeds request Mutual Aid or BLM funds since they were so cozy with those groups last year. Can you not read?

How come they’re not in the city’s fire shelter in Brooklyn?
