Reply to comment by Grass8989 in Mayor expands free broadband internet plan for NYCHA residents in the Bronx, citywide — Bronx Times by BronxTimes

Those are essential things that address basic needs and health. Having lived in the projects nearly my whole life that is the chief concern of people who actually live there and cannot afford to leave and live somewhere else. When water from a pipe leak 10 floors above my apartment was gushing through my circuit breaker and outlets I wasn’t thinking “I wish my Wi-Fi was free”.

Obviously all issues should be addressed, but positives should be taken for what they are

I didn’t say this wasn’t positive but I am saying it’s not priority. And someone else here said, NYCHA has a long history of negligence (also perjury about the level of negligence and the danger it’s caused) if they can’t do the basics right how can we have any expectation they’ll do this competently?
