chat catchers. check cashing stores can be found all over the city, but they re convenient locations come with a hidden price. these are big. i remember coming in to collect charged a fee to collect a monogram. people who use check catchers, particularly those who use them to cash their paychecks all year long, they can pay hundreds, even a thousand dollars a year just in fees to get access to their pay. i do not have that kind of money. i would not have to pay it if i had a bank account. bank accounts are essential. they keep your money saved and that helps save for the future. most banks require information that may limit its pool of qualified applicants. encouraging to turn to costly and unsafe check captures. i do not feel safe carrying the money order that i get home. without a bank account, you are more vulnerable to loss, robbery, or theft. thankfully, the program was designed to meet the needs of every kind, so qualifying for a bank account is no l
year when super storm sandy hit new york. it was an unprecedented event for the region. and in the midst of this disaster, we were really inspired by something we saw within our own community on air b & b. users of the air b & b platform were updating their profiles to say if you re a new yorker and you need a place to stay tonight, i ll take you into my home, no money. and we started seeing this, and we were really inspired. and we asked ourselves, what can we do to promote this further? and so over the next couple days we sent e-mails to our community, encouraging others to open up their homes. and we fundamentally changed how our system worked. we did away with the concept of payments so people could open their homes for free. we did away with our service fees and we created a landing page to organize information and get the word out about what was available to those in need. and through those efforts, after several days, over 1400 homes were made available free of charge
colleague offers those kinds of concerns, they would actually give you the courtesy of talking to you about it before, you know, the hearing. so, it s the first time that i hear that supervisor breed has a concern with some of the specifics in the resolution. the term resigning was actually referenced to how the mayor s office has reported this. so, if there is any inaccuracy, i m happy to amend that right now. normally i would continue an item like this so that, as a courtesy to the supervisor, but i actually think that it s really important for us to be on the record on whether or not the housing authority commission meetings should be televised. supervisor breed has a problem with that, she can vote against it. i ll tell you why it s important, because what we re talking about is an agency that right now is not open or transparent and how it s actually reforming itself. and the reason why this action is important at the very outset of this process of reforming this agency
fertility of flowers, of spring, it brings in the regeneration, if you like and this is a fantastic painting by one of the greatest 18th century artist, at the top of his game. this is the most flamboyant, exciting paint is of this artist. and we do feel that everything is possible. we can t, when we look but think of fertility and of femininity, some sense of generation. we can smell the perfume. to rembrandt. his mistress, incarcerated. he won t change the way he paints. some of dr. bailey s observation about his own experience with art museums. you have to have real commitment and belief in your vision in what you believe is right and yes you have to be flexible and malleable to a certain degree but you keep going. i think that is case of a great artist. we are finally led to another of the museum s great treasures by wayne tibo. how happy one feels to look at these objects. a painting talks about more than what we can have, about consumerism but also about c
recommendation that you go to a community. a group or neutral to some people who have problems. and they feel a little bit more comfortable complaining in that safe, space. so, however, if we have a community group that is only meeting every other month, we might want to think about if we are asking to come back in a month if that gives them enough opportunity to go to those particular settings. there is a meeting next tuesday. so, i just want to address that. and i guess that one of the reasons that i am making the comments that i am, and the suggestions that i am, is that this is not like their first time at the rodeo and this is not the first time that they have had these complaints, they have had complaint after complaint after complaint after complaint. and to me, what that shows is that if i was that owner, i would have to be extra vigilant and go and extra mile to make sure that my future and my business is secure and what i see here before me is that since last oc
