If you live in City Council District 1, Chris Marte does not deserve your vote. People against more buildings and affordable housing (for seniors, no less!) shouldn't represent Manhattan neighborhoods. Vote for @jesskcoleman.bsky.social, who will be excellent on housing.

Lower Manhattan has a choice: keep blocking new housing while rents skyrocket — or finally build a future where people can afford to stay.

It's YIMBY vs. NIMBY in Lower Manhattan's City Council Race
Incumbent Christopher Marte's anti-development positions have earned him some loyal fans—as well as challengers from the pro-growth movement within the Democratic Party.

Congestion pricing is working.
It’s a massive win for NYC—and Democrats should be shouting it from the rooftops.
Instead, many are silent. Some, like Chris Marte, are actively fighting it.
Why are we ducking the fight?

Housing’s out of reach. Hate crimes are rising. Our rights are under attack.

Lower Manhattan has the highest storefront vacancy rate in NYC. Giving up a few parking spaces—for just a handful of hours every week—in exchange for a vibrant public space that benefits residents and small businesses is a no-brainer.
Good work, CB3!

Open NY is what the NIMBY right has feared all along: a young, people-powered movement fighting for housing justice w/o any reliance on special interests.
