How do New York Politicians have the nerve to run for President when there State is so bad in terms of housing
In the late 50s New York aquired money in the form of Federal Grants as part of the Model Cities Program. The States that did collect on these Grants were expected to conform to Fair & Uniform Housing Federal Standards which came out of grass-roots Tenant Rights organizations, yet to this day New York which did take Federal Dollars maintains dwelling places that their own courts confirm are sub-standard. Some for example are mere 6x4 foot cubicals!
Thus, how can Politicians rant about being for the people or health care when they are not even committed to making sure people have a decent place to stay, never mind New York's bias crime record?
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoIs regrading legal?
I have bought and so-called won bids on Ebay only to find out that certian items especially out of China are regraded with shipping cost that are blatently an attempt by the seller to recoupe some of his losses and thus have nothing to do with the real shipping cost at all. Imagine an item sells for $1.00 and shipping costs $84.00!Regrading had been illegal in past centuries but is it today?
