But leftists love Third World ideas - why aren’t the liberal elites flocking in?
They seem to be able to pay for anything else they want, just not things they need, like water & electricity. They think that should be given to them.
Amazingly enough my comments on 3 different stories at the site were approved.
My beeber is stuned.
“I feel like the house is falling apart,” said Ms. Byrd, despairing this spring as she tried to scrounge up $4,500 in overdue taxes to keep the city from taking her family’s home and having it become another abandoned property.
Like so many others, the Byrds are barely hanging on. Ms. Byrd works two jobs in elder care, sometimes in 12-hour shifts, and her husband, lives on a police pension that remains subject to the city’s bankruptcy negotiations.
Having hit some bad breaks and mismanaged their household budget over the years, the Byrds saw their debts become insurmountable. At one point last year, they fell about $17,000 behind on property taxes and about $60,000 behind in utility, medical and car bills. That forced Ms. Byrd into bankruptcy.*

I worked all week too, over 40 hrs but still found time this weekend to spend 14 hrs working in my yard. And I loved every minute of it including my job. I guess the difference is I like to work.
How is that possible? If I don't pay the light bill for 2 months, they'll turn off the power.
Exactly!
I bet they have a big screen television and video games though.
She still has her cell phone and it looks to be a smart phone which we all know do not come cheap.

ObamaPhones don’t cover smartphones these days?
You can get a wireless plan for $45 or $50 a month these days from companies like Cricket, and others and T-Mobile’s Brightsource.
Don’t most real Africans walk miles each day to get water?
I don’t know about “most” but many do.
Its the white mans fault if you read the article....
Eligon also writes about Banika Jones, a 34-year-old woman living in the North End. After overcoming suspicions of the white social activists coming into her neighborhood,
Apparently these einsteins think money has a color other than green. Getting what they voted for since Coleman Young days...
“Human rights”????
What about the rights of the people who provide the water? The pipe layers and maintainers, the workers at the purification plant, the reservoir workers, clerical workers, etc etc. They all have a right to be paid. If you don’t pay your bill then they can’t be paid.
Pay your bill, get your water, stfu.
Day-Twaa used to have a block bustin’ operation many decades ago.
