The reconstruction of the community cannot be delayed any further, after all, it started snowing in New York last night.
If those holes are not addressed, the situation of these families will be little better than that of the homeless.
Fudge called him and confirmed the strategy of giving priority to repairing the holes.
Things like interior decoration can be postponed for a few days.
The residents have no complaints about this kind of decoration that they don't have to spend any money on.
The donation from this kind-hearted person fell from the sky, and was given to a place like Clinton District. While the residents who received the help were grateful, they also couldn't help but feel that the donation from this kind-hearted person was "throwing meat buns at a dog."
However, when Fudge and his colleagues were screening applicants, they also provided information about the donation.
All applicants knew that the donors this time did not have any requirements and did not even leave their names. They simply designated donations through a charity fund, and everyone could only admire them.
Different from those people who make a big fuss after donating a little money, wanting the world to know about it and making a show, the donors this time don't even ask for fame, and others don't care about their gratitude at all.
Of course, they were wrong about this.
Luke went upstairs with a smile on his face, and looked at these people, feeling quite happy.
He is not a saint, but it is better to see people in difficult situations retain hope for the future than to see a bunch of bitter faces.
He has only been in Clinton for a short time, so it would be a good idea to make the environment near his home a little better for the time being.
Unlike those who do charity wholeheartedly, he does so for more selfish purposes.
It would be fine to expect that people in Clinton District would not pick up things on the streets or leave their doors unlocked at night, but if there are traffickers, thieves, and robbers roaming around everywhere, no one would be happy.
Fudge and Matt's firm has gained some reputation in this circle.
They have provided spontaneous legal aid many times before, and many unlucky motorcycle gangs have benefited from them.
Even if they don't remember the favor, many people consciously stay away from this circle in order to be able to find these two lawyers next time they have problems.
There is no standard for the specific range, but within a radius of 200 to 300 meters from the office, petty thefts and fights are quite rare.
There is no way around selling weeds, it is a livelihood and no one can help.
Coupled with Luke's community reconstruction plan, there are basically no more hooligans coming here to cause trouble.
Of course, Luke and Matt did more.
Some gangs with overly brutal methods, such as the Irish, the Russians, and the forces to which Kingpin belonged, were successively attacked by the two.
The gangs in the Clinton area have been trying to keep a low profile lately, and the number of crimes on the streets has dropped significantly.
Some criminals are seriously injured, some are disabled, some die, and some are hiding. The number of crimes has to drop.
Having said that, after going upstairs and seeing the photographer carrying a camera and the beautiful host holding a microphone, Luke still had some doubts: There haven't been any serious cases in this area recently, so why would a TV station come here
He had just seen the TV interview car downstairs, so he came up to take a look, hoping that it was nothing bad.
It's not like he was overthinking it.
A few people die in the Clinton area every month, but it's not even worth making the news.
If no one died in a month, then... huh? It would be good enough to make the news.
The dead people mentioned here mainly refer to ordinary people, not gang members.
In most cases of private fights, each gang will try to cover up the crime and the case will not be made known to the public, which is equivalent to it not existing.
Thinking about it, he really hadn't heard of any ordinary people dying in violent incidents in this area recently, and Luke felt he had a rough idea.
But he had already heard what the female host said and knew that he had guessed wrong.
“… Recently, there has been a new atmosphere in Hell’s Kitchen. After the last extremely serious serial bombings, a large amount of social charity donations were invested in the area for the first time, and the living environment of the affected people, which was most urgently needed, was repaired first…” The words of the beautiful host echoed in the corridor, and many people were watching the excitement around.
Her speaking speed is not particularly fast, but her pronunciation is clear, her expression is accurate, and her facial expression is also standard, which shows great positive energy.
If it weren't for the phrase Hell's Kitchen, I'm afraid everyone would believe what she said.
Luke was also scratching his head.
The young blonde female host happened to be not far from the entrance of the office. If he wanted to get over to her, he would definitely have to walk through the camera.
Although many Americans love television and even try to act funny when they see the camera, he doesn't have that habit.
If possible, he hopes to never appear on TV in his life.
The female host is not like many other female hosts who turn into chatterboxes as soon as they hold a microphone and say a lot of irrelevant words to get the camera.
In less than two minutes, she made the leading information of the news very clear.
Luke also fully understood the reason for this interview.
She was attracted by the new scene in Clinton, also known as Hell's Kitchen in New York.
In other words, they were attracted by the large-scale community reconstruction plan + volunteer training.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in other places in New York.
Even in the equally poor Harlem district, or the mixed Brooklyn area, this happens from time to time.
But in the Clinton district, which is known as Hell's Kitchen, someone actually donated a large sum of money to carry out such a "high-end" community project. Most New York residents would only have one thought: their heads are squeezed by the door!
It's not that people have no sympathy, it's just that in a place that deserves the name of Hell's Kitchen, there are really not many good people.
A good person who is able to come up with a large sum of money will definitely make the local news in New York.
Now, this is actually going to make the news.
Thinking back, Luke remembered that there was a very eye-catching logo on the news truck downstairs.
It’s not a TV station’s logo, but it’s a “trish” logo.
He was not too familiar with this name.
He has been really busy lately. Although he has not given up his habit of watching local news in Los Angeles, there are really a lot of local news programs in New York.
The number of television programs in the largest city in the United States and the world's financial center cannot be compared with that of some country TV stations with only a few kittens.
The hosts on the news he watched were mostly over 40 years old. Most of them would not gossip about gossip, but would instead give relatively professional reports, which better suited his needs.
He had never seen this beautiful host on the news.
The female host finished the opening interview and then went into the office for a typical surprise interview.
Of course, in a small place like Nielsen-Murdoch, her movements should have been known not only to Matt but also to Fudge.
Luke walked into the office with a smile.
Not only is the number of people in the office not increasing, but it is decreasing rapidly.
After the camera entered the room, many people lowered their heads, put on their hats, and ran out.
