I'm not sure if you covered it already, but would you be able to go over work opportunities in the Burroughs. To clarify: are there large commonplace employers that many in the area are employed by? For example, where I live many work for the steel industry. Its plentiful, being 3 mills in total. Would something like that be the Port Authority there in New York?

If you are a middle class person, the lottery is not worth it. It’s market price and for that, I can just get any apartment.🤷🏽‍♀️

I just need to stay here I’m still in New York City to chase my dreams

Your video making is just amazing. Your content idea is very good. But your video does not get many views. If you give me permission, I will share some information with you to increase your channel. You get lots of subscribers and views, best regards. Thank you
