No. But it’s $1,500-1,900 now for a 1-bedroom shitty apartment in a shitty building in a shitty area of the South Bronx or East New York. How do people expect somebody making minimum wage to keep up with this rising rent when it costs nearly twice that much income to afford it?

This happened to me multiple times. I do believe that a lot of these “abandoned cars” belong to police officers or family or friends of officers. The excuses they gave were just like this and they were closed within minutes to an hour or two. You can’t get a cop to respond to a 911 call in that amount of time, so obviously something fishy was going on.

They work with people to try to keep them in their apartments from being evicted. I worked years in social services and used to refer my clients in bad arrears to them. They’re not going to be able to help him and will most refer him to another program or organization that will because DV is not their expertise or what they’re being funded for.

Have you ever called the cops to get an Order of Protection or to protect you against an abuse partner or to report somebody else who’s life is in danger at the hands of their partner? Clearly not or you’d know most of they couldn’t give two shits and usually won’t help you.
