Hurricane Distribution Center Being Shut Down By New York City Housing Authority
Cross-posted from Occupy Underground.

The 57th Street Action Center has been operating as the central emergency distribution hub for the Arverne Queens area at the Ocean Bay Apartment houses since Hurricane Sandy struck the NYC area. The center distributes food, supplies, medical, and legal services to those still living in unhealthy environments. There are still 10,000 people living without power in Rockaway alone and the action center is under the threat of being closed down by its landlord, the New York City Housing Authority.
Action Center Director Aria Doe met with the New York Housing Authority yesterday and was told on December 28th “we have to have everything cleared out of the building so they can do “cleaningâ€. They won’t work around the distribution, and want us out. We were told to stop taking donations, to send all that we have to the Mayors programs, to close the medical and legal clinics and to send our folks to medical units 40 blocks awayâ€
It seems only too obvious that the City is attempting to stop the visual lines that show continued incompetence in dealing with post Sandy recovery. NYCHA will not give a clear timeline for when the cleaning is to be over and when the Action Center volunteers can return. “NYCHA has the opportunity to drag this out as long as they want to, and hinted in the meeting that was what was going to happen. They have been known to take 6 months to change a lock.†said Ms. Doe. “We cannot abandon our people now. It is even more critical that we have a presence in the community with the cold weather, escalating health hazards, and historically, what takes place in the dark to the poor, when no one is standing watch.â€

1. If 10,000 are without power this long after Sandy,
Then the governments at all levels are NOT doing their job.
"All levels" DU Jane? Even after four years and a reelection, the Chosen One hasn't fixed things. Imagine that! Don't complain, you asked for it.

Right on!
People get the government they vote for, and DUmmies got theirs! :evillaugh:
Karma is a bigger bitch than any woman could ever hope to be!

They can't blame Bush - so they are blaming 'Wall Street' instead. :rofl:
2. It's been discussed that Wall Street has long wished to gentrify Far Rockaways, etc.
and remember, NYC Mayor Bloomberg made his money on Wall Street. Disaster capitalism. "Oh dear, we can't help them, the homes can't be repaired, better sell it off cheap in a secret sale to my buddies who've been waiting for it."
Sigh..

Since all right-thinking citizens would never criticize the regime the government doesn't get the same level of scrutiny as the Katrina. Hence, there is no motivation for the commissars to work harder.

Yes, and Louis Farrakhan saw Dick Cheney planting explosives under the levees in New Orleans. He'd be happy to show you the video but he can't remember which closet on the Mother Ship he stored the Memory Crystal.

This alone explains it all.

In other words, it was a squatters camp, masquerading as relief center.
The center distributes food, supplies, medical, and legal services to those still living in unhealthy environments.
Doesn't that pretty much describe all of NYC?

You sorely underestimate the insanity and indoctrination of your typical imbecile that posts at the DUmp or votes for 0bama. It is MOST definitely somehow, someway Bush's fault.
