The Bronx, in many categories, is the borough that has more problems and problems of a greater magnitude than any other borough. And it's not even close. Highest crime rate, highest poverty rate, the Bronx. Also, food insecurity. 14.6 of New York City residents are food insecure. It's only getting worse. My proposal is food subsidy for low income families who are not eligible for snap, but who still have hardship, economic hardship, even though they're above the SNAP threshold. (06:55–06:59)
