have been poorly maintained for a while. I remember during the Democratic Primary in NYC, a broken elevator at one development was a big issue. In that case, the maintenance backlog for NYC public housing was estimated in the tens of billions. I think the issue is voiceless, generally non voting people over what Trump is trying to do. While Democrats are infinitely better at helping the poor and voiceless than republicans, even Democrats react to the loudest voices (either votes or donations).
