Thursday, November 08, 2001 8:24 AM Victim Comments Hi, My wife and I live a block and 1/2 SW of the WTC. We were unable to return to our apartment until 2 weeks after the disaster. We had no apartment insurance so we did our own cleanup to remove the dust, wash, mop, decontaminate, etc. We lost all the frozen and perishable food in our refrigerator and threw out contaminated clothes and linens. We have moved back on weekdays but still stay with relatives on weekends because of the air quality and the need for us not to see the disaster site daily. Life has drastically changed in our neighborhood and it is difficult for us to move since we own the condo apartment. Many of the renters have already moved and many of the businesses have not reopened. Our windows are always closed and we have purchased 2 HEPA air filters which we run almost 24 hours a day. My commute has also been affected. I work in New Jersey and used to take the PATH train at the World Trade Center but it is no longer operational (estimate=18 to 24 months). Now I walk 10 minutes to Bowling Green to take an MTA east side train, change to a west side train to the Port Authority, to take a local bus over the Lincoln Tunnel. This takes me 2-3 times the time and 2 1/2 times the cost. We used to be able to feel free to go out at nights but no longer. The lack of other pedestrians and transportation difficulties has made us feel safer staying indoor. Please take our situation into consideration when you calculation the guidelines for victims compensation. Thank you, Individual Comment New York, N.Y.
