I was gonna say they already have section 8 but this is different.
Good. I'd rather see the money go towards something like this instead of feeding and housing some skells.

This would challenge the supply chain for section 8 vouchers. Houses that would have previously been auctioned off and flipped into section 8 housing would be instead purchased by the county and converted to green space.
This is a first step in converting a neighborhood that is in the red supported by government, to one where government infuses capital into so that it can become self-sufficient through private and corporate investment.
"The demolition of these eyesores is another example of how the Town of Brookhaven is keeping our promise to improve the quality of life in Mastic Beach," Supervisor Ed Romaine said. "Houses like these are a detriment to the community and I commend Councilman Panico for his efforts to get the job done."
Panico added: "The most aggressive battle against suburban blight in the history of Brookhaven Town is being waged by this administration, and we are winning for our residents. We are working to strip away the years of decay in Mastic Beach so the area's true beauty can shine."
"We are dedicated and have committed to cleaning up and making Mastic Beach the beautiful waterfront community that it should be," Panico said. "As each of these houses come down, property values rise and we take another step forward to achieving the quality of life that residents deserve."
Not only will Brookhaven Town investigators be keeping an eye out for similar issues, "Residents will also be seeing a great number of bulldozers and other heavy equipment in the area as we will continue to remove this suburban decay for a brighter future," he said.
Lol...does anyone seriously believe NYS would complete, let alone even start this project? Not to mention, political favor corruption, cost overrun and the millions more it'll cost taxpayers.

It's money flowing in nevertheless. To place that received little in investment in the past. That is now all about to change.
Funding secured for a brand new modernized Smith Point Bridge to Fire Island. The investments just keep on coming to the Mastics.
Hats & horns.
