Historically, the neighborhood has always been a low-income community. Most people work minimum wage jobs. During baseball season, there are many job opportunities for the community at Yankee Stadium. Many of the community members are SNAP, Medicaid, and/or cash assistance recipients.
My community needs access to healthy foods. Majority of the restaurants are fast food restaurants. Crime is a big issue in the community (gun violence and robberies). Not much is done to lower the crime rate. Politicians are not involved and invested in the neighborhood like others. The community could benefit from a community fridge and cleaner streets. There is too much litter and garbage on the sidewalks.
