So my opinion, the MTA should not be subsidizing fares for rich people. Food affordability, it's a major issue, no doubt. 40% of New York City adults live in households at risk for food insecurity. 20% in the Bronx [are at risk for food insecurity]. 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. (06:22–06:28)
