1,542,864.00 in New York City (Only)

1,542,864.00 The number says many things about the type of people we are, If we're as caring as we like to think, why are we still thinking only for our selves.

This number says some people just don't care and give up and try to move on with their lives as best they can. You see them in the street sometime; If you look hard you see them almost all the time.





 This number is the new number of poverty in our New York. A number I see everyday when I walk around the city. Many New Yorkers think they're not this number. I know some are and some aren't, I know many are now with this number.

1,542,864.00 New Yorkers are thinking how to remove them selves out of this number and just don't know how to do it with doors closing and walls to climb out of. They are looking for a new way of life in this city we call New York.

To see this number of poverty you can go to any part of the city. It's best to go outside of Manhattan to take a better look at this poverty. In the near futhure, they'll the poorness of the poor will be outside Manhattan looking in. Manhattan will be loooking out. I heard about this poverty number on WBAI RADIO in 2005.
