These factors include drugs on the streets as well as its distributors, violence which leads to lack of safety, rodents and roaches overtaking the community and the apartments of these residents, lack of education, lack of money to the community to fix some of these problems, lack of jobs and many others that go along with it. I feel that New York City should try and do many things to help Mott Haven's residents to receive better living conditions, but there are only so few things that they can do with the help of the residents as well.
Drugs are one of the main problems for residents.
This is really a problem. It is up to New York City to help get the drugs off of the streets and out of the people's systems, it is up to New York City to get the prostitutes, murderers and rapists off the streets as well getting help for them to rehabilitate themselves and to make the streets safe for the residents of the South Bronx, and to improve their living conditions. The residents of Mott Haven are not getting the appropriate attention that they deserve, as far as their community is concerned and need in order to make their living conditions better for them and their children. For the sake of the children New York City should and needs to step in now because it is up to them to figure out what to do to improve the residents living situations. The residents are really not thinking about how to try and improve their communities living situations and conditions, because they are already working on maintaining their lives inside their homes as far as putting food on the table and clothes on their backs and etc.
