The post W.W.II emergency may be over but when is the government going to address the population explosion of the 21st century?

Get with the program! There are people sleeping in their cars, subway tunnels and doorways. There is not enough affordable housing in NYC. How is someone supposed to pay $1400 a month rent when the minimum wage is $7.10 per hour? A gallon of milk is $4 and a loaf of bread is $2.50, even if Rudy doesn't have a clue. Bring down the rent and everything else will follow.
