Some of the mayoral candidates, including the current mayor spent a night in the Lincoln housing projects, vowing to make conditions better for the residents
It's a fine line between life and death at Harlem’s Lincoln Houses even on a sunny Sunday, the teens hang out and talk with their friends. But instead of dreaming about the future, 17 year old K'shonna Johnson says they worry about staying alive.
“Just to see people I know passed away....I hear a lot of gun shots, violence due to drugs" the teen told us.
The NYPD says that that crime in public housing developments over the last 5 years is up by 30%. That's a rate 10 times higher than the rest of the city. But that stunning number may not tell the whole story.
Reports of domestic violence assaults have risen due to awareness campaigns.
Plus the nearly half a million public housing residents are in more densely populated areas according to the NYPD.
Residents say it is all about the living conditions and economics that drive people to crime and violence.
“I guess society isn’t giving enough jobs here for the youth they have, they need programs, people have to survive, and their back is against the wall” one resident said.

Crowding ferals together just makes more ferals.
The FSA is pretty much trained to demand government "programs" on cue.
Stop and frisk repercussion, enjoy residents enjoy
Why not be brave. Ooops, I mean not politically correct. Call it a War Zone. Maybe even a name might be appropriate. Something like Operation Enduring Victimhood in the hood. Yeh....that has a good ring to it. Operation OEV for short.
so how's that STOPPING stop and frisk working out for them???
Maybe they need “pogroms”
“Residents say it is all about the living conditions and economics that drive people to crime and violence. “
Oh, OK.
That is so bad. I can’t wait until people ventilate their cheeks like that so we can see their teeth and gums.
I guess tattoo removal isn’t really going to help him.
Certainly none of these fine “visitors” that spent the night had any guns, did they?
LOL. I hadn’t seen that prime candidate for a job before.
Stop-and-frisk worked, so let’s replace it with The Knockout Game.
Just think. Some girl is going to make her parents very proud when she brings this guy home.
