"NYC: Anyone ever win the housing lottery/How's DeBlasio doing?"


  

          

I see stuff like this and wonder does anyone ever get these?

Or is it pie in the sky with chances like the real lottery?

If there were any shot at it I would be on this website

https://a806-housingconnect.nyc.gov/nyclottery/lottery.html#current-projects

daily. If someone told me you did that for 5-7 years straight you would get a place it would be worth it. But if the chances of getting a place are one in a million seems like a waste of time.

Anyone ever won it? Anyone know anybody who ever won it?


Second Question:

How do folks think DeBlasio is doing? I don't dislike and he seems progressive enough but he doesn't seem to be generating any strong love for him from any segment of the city. I ask black people about him and they are like "meh" (if Black people said "meh"). He seems to have all the right people angry at him but not the right people or anybody loving him.

What's your take?
