And so some people who work in world of subsidized housing contend that many New York residents are becoming increasingly anxious and angry about a program that they feel is impractical and insulting. So it's "impractical and insulting" that these people have to give instead of just take?
If they did just 2 hours a week of volunteer work, that would more than satisfy the annual community service requirement.
If they're really that upset about it, I suggest they look into improving their lot in life rather than whining about this.

For those able bodied and able minded individuals that are receiving welfare benefits. It should be darn insulting. It should be down right embarrassing, uncomfortable and inconvient.
It should require more time and effort to accept those public monies than it would be to hold down a job.
The single mothers could get together and provide babysittng for the other mothers while they do that community service.
They could be painting, cleaning, picking up trash in the public housing. They could take their kids with them and have them help.
This is the case of years of liberals telling them that it isn't their fault that they are poor and that we owe them a place to live.
