Lots of hostility here but no arguments to even bother making your point. He’s a child of immigrants who came to America for a better life and struggled, raising someone of high moral values who came from nothing and rose through the ranks to serve the community.

However, I’m not petty and won’t insult you for not liking him, its your right to have your opinion. Have a nice day.

That's not how that program worked. It gave homeless people up to $1000 to pay towards an apartment lease for up to 2 years. Any landlord that accepted that voucher knew it would be gone in 24 months anyway. And it wasn't a voucher for any apartment. They had to sign up individual apartments for the Advantage program. So in a building you would have normal apartments and voucher apartments. Its not like Section 8 which will pay for any apartment up to code.

It's a bit different. This was made possible via Teamshares.

Not a bad deal after all, if you think that the employees don't have to pay a dime.
