The reconstruction of the community couldn't be delayed any longer. After all, it had started snowing in New York last night.
If they didn't fix the holes, these families would only be slightly better off than homeless people.
Foggy had called him and confirmed that the priority was to fix the holes.
The interior renovations and the like could be delayed for a few days.
The residents didn't have any complaints about renovations that didn't cost them anything.
A great philanthropist had fallen from the sky to donate to a place like Clinton. While the residents who had been helped were grateful, they couldn't help but feel that this philanthropist's donation was like throwing meat buns at a dog.
However, when Foggy and the others screened the applicants, they had also learned about the donation this time.
All the applicants knew that the donor this time didn't have any requirements, and didn't even leave his name. He just made the donation through the charity fund. Everyone could only admire him.
Unlike those who made a big fuss about donating some money and wanted the whole world to know about it, the donor this time didn't even ask for a name, and didn't care about their gratitude.
Of course, they were wrong about that.
Luke went upstairs with a smile. He was quite happy to see these people.
He wasn't a saint, but it was better to see people in trouble and hope for the future than to see a bunch of bitter faces.
He hadn't been in Clinton for long, so it wasn't a bad idea to improve the environment around his home for the time being.
Unlike those who wholeheartedly did charity, he was doing this for his own benefit.
It was one thing to hope that the roads in Clinton weren't tidy or that the doors weren't closed at night, but with drug dealers, thieves, and robbers everywhere, no one would be in a good mood.
Foggy and Matt's firm had already gained some reputation in this circle.
They had done voluntary legal aid many times before, and many unlucky hoodlums and bikers had benefited from them.
Even if they didn't remember the favor, in order to be able to look for these two lawyers the next time something happened, many people consciously stayed away from this circle.
There was no specific range, but there were very few thieves and fights within a radius of two to three hundred meters of the law firm.
There was nothing they could do about selling weed. This was their livelihood, and no one could do anything about it.
Coupled with Luke's community reconstruction plan, there were basically no more hoodlums who came here to mess around.
Of course, Luke and Matt did a lot more.
Some gangs that were too brutal, like the Irish, the Russians, and the forces that Kingpin belonged to, were dealt with by the two of them.
The gangs in the Clinton area had been living with their tails between their legs recently, and the number of crimes on the streets had dropped significantly.
Some of the criminals were seriously injured, some were disabled, some were dead, and some were hiding. The number of criminals had to decrease.
That being said, when he went upstairs and saw the cameraman and the beautiful host with the microphone, Luke mumbled to himself, "There haven't been any bad cases in this area recently. Why would a TV station come?"
When he was downstairs, he saw the TV news van, so he purposely came up to take a look, hoping that it wasn't anything bad.
It wasn't that he was overthinking.
A few people dying in Clinton every month wasn't even newsworthy.
If no one died in a month, then … hmm? It seemed like it could be on the news.
The dead here mainly referred to ordinary people, not gang members.
Most of the cases that happened in private were cleaned up by their own gangs. They wouldn't make the case known to the public, which meant that they didn't exist.
Thinking that there really hadn't been any violent deaths of ordinary people in this area recently, Luke felt that he had a rough guess.
But he had already heard what the female host said, and knew that he had guessed wrong.
"… Recently, there's been a new atmosphere in Hell's Kitchen. After the last extremely serious serial explosion, for the first time, a large amount of social charity donations have been invested in the area, and the first thing to be done is to restore the living environment of the victims who most urgently need to be improved … "The beautiful host's voice echoed in the corridor, and many people were watching the show.
She wasn't speaking very fast, but her words were clear and precise. Her expression was also on point, and she was full of positive energy.
If it wasn't for the phrase "Hell's Kitchen," everyone would probably believe what she said.
Luke scratched his head.
This young blonde female host happened to be not far from the entrance of the law firm. If he wanted to go over, he would definitely have to walk past the camera.
Although many people in America loved to be on TV, and even went over to do something funny when they saw the camera, Luke wasn't in the habit of doing so.
If possible, he hoped that he would never appear on TV for the rest of his life.
The female host wasn't like many female hosts, who would become chatterboxes the moment they held the microphone and say a lot of unimportant things to get in front of the camera.
In less than two minutes, she had clearly explained the prelude to the news.
Luke completely understood why the interview had happened.
She had been attracted by the new atmosphere in Clinton, which was also known as New York's famous Hell's Kitchen.
Or rather, by the massive community reconstruction plan.
She had been attracted by the volunteer training.
It wouldn't be unusual for something like this to happen anywhere else in New York.
Even in Harlem, which was also relatively poor, or in Brooklyn, which was a mixed bag of crooks and honest folk, it happened from time to time.
But in Clinton, which was known as Hell's Kitchen, someone had actually donated a huge sum of money for such a "high-end" community project. Most New Yorkers would only have one thought: What kind of person was that?!
It wasn't that they didn't have sympathy, but there really weren't many good people in a place like Hell's Kitchen.
A good person who could fork out a huge sum of money would definitely make the local news in New York.
Now, this was really going to be on the news.
Thinking back, Luke remembered that there was a very eye-catching logo on the news van downstairs.
It wasn't from the TV station, but a "Trish" logo.
He wasn't too familiar with the name.
He had indeed been busy recently. Although he hadn't given up on the habit of watching the local news in Los Angeles, there were a lot of local news programs in New York.
The number of TV programs in the largest city in America and the world's financial center wasn't something that some rural TV station could compare to.
The hosts on the news that he watched were basically in their forties. Most of them wouldn't talk about gossip, but would report professionally, which was more in line with his needs.
He had never seen this beautiful host on the news before.
After the female host finished the opening interview, she went into the office to conduct a typical surprise interview.
Of course, in a small place like Nelson and Murdock, even Foggy would know what she was doing, let alone Matt.
Luke walked into the office with a smile.
Not only were there not many people in the office, there were even fewer.
After the camera entered the room, many people lowered their heads, put on their hats, and walked out. 8)
