In the four minute video posted below, the housing conditions at a three bedroom apartment at a public housing project in the Bronx in New York City are absolutely horrible.
There are rats, roaches, and black mold.
There are leaks in every room.
And every time the tenant calls maintenance to ask for repairs, the government employees always make up some bogus excuse for why they can’t fix anything.
And why should the government employees fix anything, when they know they can’t get fired?
And as all of this is going on, the federal government is giving them $30 million per week to make these repairs.
Since they’re not actually making these repairs, what are they really spending that money on?
The video also says that at other apartments in the same building, sometimes there is no heat, sometimes there is no hot water, and sometimes there is even no running water at all.
Here’s the video:

The soviets always had very nice apartments for people.
What do we New Yorkers want?
Communism!
How do we want it?
Good n’ hard!
New York City government employs approximately 330,000 people.
The reality

Isn’t this promised free stuff going to attract every free loader and homeless person from around the country? Go east homeless man..
Oh, this really looks like old Soviet apartments, just a lot better!
There would be like 12 people living in that apartment and they would be envy of everybody else.
That’s what our taxes buy us!
Well, government is the same everywhere!
Yeah, go east until your hat floats.

Yes, a small two bedroom apartment for 12-15 people.
Hookers and blow ...
“The soviets always had very nice apartments for people.”
Yeah - they called them Potemkin Villages
Maybe if government funds were actually cut off then there would be a real reason for not fixing anything right.
