I usually say in comments that I'm going to blog about somethings so here goes.
HASA
HIV/AIDS Service Administration ( HASA ) is a real institution in New York City. They do provide public housing to HIV/AIDS patients. I choose Mott Haven because of it's historical neighborhood and growing artist population. An apartment twice the size of a Manhattan apartment is 900-1200 dollars a month as opposed to 1600.
Character Portrayal
I originally wrote in a character who was supposed to be a neighbor in the building who ran a daycare (hence the broken toys and children paintings) but she didn't fit as an entire character into my final draft.
Conversation
Tomas and Sofia's conversation in Lithuania goes as follows
"I love you . . . you are very beautiful to me"
"I'm sorry I don't speak Lithuanian"
It's supposed to be a little tongue-and-cheek, because he doesn't think she understands him.
