New York: Cromwell Towers, Broadway, Yonkers

June 12, 2022

Look it up on Google maps

The Cromwell Street apartments (officially named Cromwell Towers) are located at 77 Locust Hill Ave, Yonkers, NY 10701. The building is a 15-story, 317-unit affordable housing community primarily occupied by low-income families and senior citizens earning up to 60% of the area median income.

What you do is you capture the local city council of Yonkers. With people already hidden inside faraday shielded homes.

Then you evict the tenants of this building (sorry).

Then the local council fills 50% of it with clean, loose, lightly crushed cans. Exactly half of the rooms in there are filled with cans up to a level of 1.6 metres high. There are low walls made of wood inside the rooms to prevent the cans drifting out.

And then people move back in.

It works, maybe. Imagine if it works, both scientifically and "sociologically".

Ps: I hope people know what I mean by "lightly crushed". What I mean is it like when you just stomp on the can. And it's crushed flat. As an individual can.

Note: or maybe you do it in an equivalent building in New Jersey or Philadelphia or Brooklyn. Or maybe instead of using public money to do it (which is the smartest way to do it!) you just do it with private money until you can do them with private money.
