Candidate for City Council, District 24, Deepti Sharma

Season 3 - Episode 21: I always make the point that local
politics matters even more because the number one thing that city
council people do is manage a budget. We’ve forgotten to reinvest
in community centers, education or transportation. 





Transportation is not accessible. Housing is expensive and
unaffordable, and affordable housing basically doesn't exist.
Education is a huge problem, right? I used to spend two hours
traveling from this district to Brooklyn Tech, in Brooklyn, just
to get to a good school. Think about that.





The fact that I live in a city where schools are near me, but I
had to travel two hours just to get to a school that my parents
and family felt was good enough. I think that that's crazy; the
fact that in these last, 20 years since I've graduated and we
don't have schools that are good enough for kids to actually go
to, maybe we have one.
