Any of you live near shelters or projects? I understand that these people need help, but at the same time I'm concerned about my safety

What a gross post.

They're probably more afraid of you than you are of them. Seriously. They're vulnerable and can be displaced easily due to a lack of public/private funding, so they aren't looking for trouble. They want peace and a break from the struggles of life.

People fear the unknown, so maybe say hi and get familiar with the folks you see frequently. Community means all of us ❤️

I lived near projects for years and to shelters during the migrant surge, it was never an issue. Crime is down overall and most crime is committed by people who know the victim anyway, not strangers.

PE guys be ripping homes, buying all the clinics and one unit homes, building luxury homes apartments with 30 year tax breaks and paying no property taxes, bankrupting townships, and then being afraid it a triple shift worker gets a bunk bed in a shared crumbling building.

The injustice poor PE guys have to face! 😭

I’m afraid of PE ruining everything they acquire, based on experience.

Not afraid of those that live in lower income, subsidized, or public housing, which btw are your firemen, police, teachers, artists, MTA and the people that literally enable this city to run.

Every building has units reserved for low income and projects are in every neighborhood. Avenue private school literally uses the projects playground. But here you are, afraid of humans but not the PE damage.

If you work in private equity I’m sure you can afford to live away from projects. Frankly that’s just how it is in NYC. You can live in the nicest building and you’re next to a project. I’m a woman btw so I always have to have a heightened sense of security.
