    The BHA needs to do a better job of screening applicants for public housing. And they should check the people staying in these apartments are actually on the damn lease. This isn’t the first time someone from out of town who up to no good has been found in the projects.

        It’s funny how once someone is backed into a corner they start raining denegrating comments. Sorry Bazz, read it and weep, the gentrification train is moving full-steam ahead whether you like it or not.
