Hello all, I am Paul from Queens and Long Island. 

Thanks Elizabeth Colegrove & others!

Too much of a headache dealing with this segment of the tenant pool.Edit.Section 8 tenants are kings and queens of the learned helplessness examples. 

I was born and raised in Queens Village and later relocated to Nassau County, Long Island.

Elizabeth Colegrove Thanks for the welcome message!
