I don't see this getting better. More and more units are gonna age out and need these insanely long repairs, yet probably the staffing issues will just get worse under this current admin. At this point I don't even think NYCHA can be saved, I think the prudent course would be to create an entirely new agency with more flexible and nimble rules and procedures, and have them start building replacement housing immediately. The entire concept of NYCHA housing blocks is archaic anyways, this type of planning IMO is a failure and just concentrates folks in ugly and cheap housing without access to amenities. The blocks feel isolated and "other", instead of meshing with the communities, like they are behind a barren grassy moat in commie blocks.
