Jackson Heights does not care about working families I have spoken to local politicians about bringing a development for people like myself a professional single mom with two children. And this is the best they can do? I am appalled and beyond disappointed at the local politicians. I have vocalized my needs and concerns multiple times and they just don’t care. Why the heck should I take time out of my business day to vote for you when you’re not even advocating for people like myself to stay in Jackson Heights. If your politicians are letting gentrification happen in your neighborhood, that means they don’t like you
PleZ send me application
