Children of Men 2: people can procreate but they don’t because there’s nowhere to live.

Cried reading this on the subway into work this morning. Total State failure and apathy for this family. Eventually NY will pay a lot of $$, but there's no momentum to make systemic changes to hospitals, courts, etc. nytimes.com/2024/07/02/nyr…

Marte standing there is like McConnell cutting the ribbon for a project in KY funded by the Inflation Reduction Act. Totally wild hypocrisy.

“I can’t afford to live in my neighborhood anymore. Rent is too high!” I hear this all the time from my viewers. @opennyforall @nychousing @pix11news #monicamakesithappen #monicamakesithappenshow Making sure their voices are heard. OpenNewYork.org

Thread about my recent (all too common) renting experience. A few months ago the landlord of my 50 year old apartment tried to raise the rent close to the max, so my roommate and I moved out. They now are paying for it.

DC has increased its housing stock by 10% in 5 years. In NYC, we’ve done…3.4% 😢

Same day, same city. We have a lot of offices relative to demand, and not a lot of apartments.

The proposal being objected to is 123 new deeply affordable apartments targeted to LGBTQ seniors. The project will include 16,000 square feet of publicly accessible open space (open all year round to the public, unlike now…)

NEW in City Limits: Building a Windsor Terrace Our Children Can Afford "In order to preserve the Windsor Terrace we know, we must let it grow" writes local parent Jessica Yager citylimits.org/2024/08/09/opi…

Would love for VP Harris to remind and shame NYS Democrats for this.

Rents are lower and homes are more affordable when we build more homes. That’s why President Biden and Vice President Harris have put housing at the center of their economic agenda.

Is this really the best use of people’s time and governmental resources?

They’re doing it

As a BK native & renter, NYC’s housing shortage is personal for me. That’s why I support the Arrow Linen’s rezoning in one of the least affordable neighborhoods in the city. Ty to our neighbors who are calling for more housing @BKCB7 hearing tonight! citylimits.org/2024/01/03/opi…

The energy in this room is so toxic and counter to productive debate about the most important issue in our city. The crowd is repeatedly interrupting and booing speakers, including the Councilmember. Why do we do this to ourselves.

The Assemblymember representing one of the bluest districts in the country shows up at a hearing for a project he doesn’t even have a vote on to take a position clearly out of step with Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and the top of the Democratic Party platform.

I am signing off this site ✌️thanks to Market Urbanism for kicking the transition into gear. Find me at the same name on Bluesky.
