Season 3 - Episode 21: I always make the point that local politics matters even more because the number one thing that city council people do is manage a budget. We’ve forgotten to reinvest in community centers, education or transportation.
Transportation is not accessible. Housing is expensive and unaffordable, and affordable housing basically doesn't exist. Education is a huge problem, right? I used to spend two hours traveling from this district to Brooklyn Tech, in Brooklyn, just to get to a good school. Think about that.
The fact that I live in a city where schools are near me, but I had to travel two hours just to get to a school that my parents and family felt was good enough. I think that that's crazy; the fact that in these last, 20 years since I've graduated and we don't have schools that are good enough for kids to actually go to, maybe we have one.
