I know public housing is designed to kill its residents because I have an asthma flare up from staying at home all these months.

I live in a house that’s older and is decently ventilated.

I haven’t had problems with asthma since middle school and had my first flare up in my

Senior year or college staying a a dorm room.

Now if you’ve dormed you know all the buildings have lots of dust and asbestos.

While my house doesn’t have asbestos it does have dust and if I don’t vacuum frequently enough I can’t breathe properly

So just imagine living in a

Building that isn’t taken care of, lead paint, improper ventilation, hot and stuffy...
