Strawman

Generously, the TP has provided a poster "welfare queen" for the pro-project-demolition people. I mean, you just can't make stuff like this up.

Sharon Jasper sits in the living room of her voucher-backed private residence. "I might be poor but I don't like to live poor. I thank God for a place to live but it's pitiful what people give you.

She goes on to say that she'd probably fare better in a tent in Duncan Plaza. After all, she complained of "missing window screens, a slow leak in a sink, a warped back door and a few other details of a residence that otherwise appeared to have been recently renovated."
