New York City Housing Crisis A month ago I was in Boston and couldn't believe my eyes: ordinary one-bedroom apartments cost 4-5 thousand dollars a month in the area of Public Health University, next to the shelter and the hospital. They are rented by students, often several people together. Many take out loans for study, work part-time to get an American education. After all, not everyone has parents, grandparents, who are ready to help their grandchildren. So when someone criticizes New York, I advise: first go to Boston. A little later I will publish my report and photos - you will see in the area, near the University of Public Health and the shelter, syringes, needles, and tourniquets right on the streets, and people in a state of drug intoxication. Someone will say: "This is done for the people." And it is true, in the early 2000s, when people died from AIDS, and there was no effective treatment, disposable syringes were distributed so that people would not use common ones. But times have changed: AIDS is treated, but syringes are still distributed, marijuana has been legalized. Someone claimed marijuana was a blessing. We'll see where that leads. But there is one thing that hardly anyone will argue about: housing, a roof over your head is a basic human need. And for New Yorkers it is always no less important than in other cities. Today, many students can no longer afford to live separately from their parents. Interesting insights about housing in New York City by attorney Edward Mermelstein, who was appointed Commissioner of the Mayor's Office of International Affairs by the Mayor of New York City in January 2022. He is a respected attorney. He is a financial investment consultant, a media expert for developers. Mermelstein has appeared on various television channels such as CNBC Fox Business Network and Reuters, discussing foreign investment in the U.S. market. He has been quoted in articles published in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Reuters and the New York Observer on topics covering the stabilization of prices in the New York luxury real estate market and the state of foreign direct investment in the U.S. market. He has also been published as a guest columnist for Forbes magazine. So... "The press is at it again - only in New York can record housing growth be portrayed as something negative. The mayor of New York has accomplished more in housing reform and construction in 44 months than most administrations have accomplished in decades. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of families already housed, about the redevelopment and construction of new houses that are paving the way for hundreds of thousands of future apartments. But journalists seem to expect miracles. If houses are not built overnight, everything is declared "wishful thinking." The fact remains: New York is on track to build half a million new houses. Adams launched a rocket. And while critics are discussing the color of its paint, the rocket has already reached orbit. For example, many remember how 25 years ago, when they offered people subsidized apartments for $ 200 a month in the Surf Ave area of Brooklyn on West 20-30 before reaching Sea Gates, people did not want to live in this area, there was high crime, and now people dream of renting apartments here, they play the lottery. Recently there was a lottery for Program 8, which was frozen for a long time. It's funny: the same publications that have been writing about the "housing crisis" for years are now mocking the first mayor in decades who has actually begun to solve it. Lagunova Marina

I was at my wits' end when my husband left. Lilia performed several rituals for me and explained the importance of changing my energy and attitude toward the situation. I don't know what exactly worked, but after these practices, my husband and I entered a new phase—he started communicating more often, and then he came home. I'm sure the rituals played a role.

Coding for alcohol addiction Over the years of working in the United States and Europe, Dr. Natalia Schmidt's name has become well known to those seeking not only medical help, but also true relief from alcohol addiction. For many years she has been helping people return to sobriety, confidence and harmony with themselves. Her methodology combines the traditions of classical psychiatry with modern techniques from the American school of hypnosis. The foundation of her approach is the famous coding. Dr. Schmidt goes back to the roots: back in 1912, the eminent psychiatrist Vladimir Bekhterev described the phenomenon of emotional stress therapy, and decades later, psychiatrist Alexander Dovzhenko developed a method for overcoming alcohol addiction known as coding. Dr. Natalia Schmidt developed these ideas, combining them with modern knowledge about the functioning of the brain and subconscious. Her unique coding system is based on identifying the root cause, the internal psychological trauma that influenced alcohol addiction. Coding is a kind of mental reset and reinforcement of a sober lifestyle. The treatment process takes place in a calm, trusting atmosphere, and is strictly confidential. The main thing is the result. The person stops being trapped by addiction and regains control of their life. Many remember these meetings with gratitude, calling them "the beginning of a new life." In addition to treating alcohol addiction, Dr. Schmidt successfully assists with smoking cessation. She also helps with stress, anxiety disorders, insomnia, phobias, and loss of confidence. She uses psychiatric hypnosis and emotional adjustment techniques to help restore inner balance and self-confidence. Appointments are available at convenient times, including evenings and weekends, making them especially convenient for those living the fast pace of a big city and traveling from other states and even countries. If you're looking for professional help to overcome alcohol addiction, Dr. Natalia Schmidt can help. You'll be admired again, just like before you were called an alcoholic. Phone number for appointment: 917-656-6190 The interview was recorded by Marina Lagunova, New York
Marfa is more than just a fortune teller. She is a conductor of light.
Martha saved me. I don’t know how to find the right words, because everything I went through is impossible to describe simply. It wasn’t pain... it was devastation. As if everything alive had been burned out inside me. My husband left. He just got up and left, as if he had never loved me. He said he stopped loving me. He said he was tired. And I stood rooted to the spot, with a mug in my hand and couldn’t breathe. After that, the days merged into a black shroud. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep. I woke up and didn’t want to wake up. The children asked where dad was, but I just remained silent and died even more. Everything we had was gone. He was with another woman. He lived with her. He laughed with her. And it was as if I had died for him. I didn’t believe in anything. Until I accidentally saw a review about Martha. At first, I brushed it off. But then, in some kind of desperate hysteria, I simply wrote to her. And she answered. From the first words, warmth. Calm. She didn't ask stupid questions. She just said... You haven't lost everything yet. But you're on the edge. And she started working. I don't know how, I don't know what exactly she did, but it got easier with each passing day. I started having dreams where he came back. I started feeling like there was something between us again. Three weeks later, he came back. Himself. Without threats, without shouting. He just came. He fell on his knees and begged for forgiveness. He said that something had happened to him, that it was as if he had woken up. He looked into my eyes as if for the first time. I sobbed like a child. Now he is with us again. With the children. With me. We are learning to live again. And if it weren't for Marfa, I wouldn't be writing this letter. I might not have written anything at all... Marfa is not just a fortune teller. She is a conductor of light. She is the last hope. Her phone number is +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
Thanks to Lilia for her help – even skeptics make mistakes sometimes.
I'll be honest—I've always been wary of clairvoyants. But when my family situation became critical, I decided to try everything. I turned to Lilia and was surprised by how accurately she described my life. We had several sessions, and within a week I saw changes: my husband started contacting me, showing interest in me, and seeking meetings. A month later, he himself asked me to come back. I don't know how it works, but it did. I thank Lilia for her help—even skeptics make mistakes sometimes. I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
