Can you believe it’s been three years since this wild community board hearing on Just Home?
On September 18, the NYC Council will finally hold a hearing on this project, which will provide permanent, supportive housing for the formerly incarcerated with complex medical needs.

The certified mayoral primary results show that Zohran won Council District 13 in the final round by 8 votes. This is the one Bronx council district held by a Republican.

The Chair of the New York Young Republican Club Bronx Caucus, "was given the opportunity by BronxNet to air the grievances of the ignored side of the political spectrum," so we can watch a man project his own insecurities and lament declining testosterone levels.

Awful how many Bronxites are going to lose health coverage because of the Big BS Bill. It's years away, but I'm also concerned about the impact these cuts may have on Montefiore's plans to build the Advanced Care Pavillion - our community needs the full facility to be built.

This intersection on Pierce and Bogart was nonsense, so I appreciate NYC DOT taking the initiative to closing the center as a traffic calming measure (while maintaining FDNY access) and creating new and shorter crosswalks.

As a respectable e-bike user in the Bronx, cycling through parks is often the safest (and in some cases - such as biking to City Island - the only) way to traverse the borough. I appreciate for this proposed rule to permanently allow e-bikes and e-scooters in parks. www.amny.com/nyc-transit/...

I think it is safe to say that this primary cycle was a complete drubbing for anti-livable city, anti-affordability types. The anti-open streets, anti-bike lanes crowd seems to have a little bit of juice on X, the racist everything site, and nowhere else.
Joel R Rivera ran a relatively well-funded NIMBY campaign, including placing full page ads touting opposition to everything from rezonings to bike lanes, only to get an abysmal 5th place in the Council District 13 Democratic primary.

Zohran's best performance in the Bronx was in Council District 13 - the one Bronx council district currently represented by a Republican. He came within two points of Cuomo.

Shirley is the favorite for CD13, but Jackie Torres placing 2nd in round 1 is fascinating - she was absent for 2 months and missed the candidate forums. I even thought her campaign was dead when I voted on Father's day, but there was a big last minute push, including TV ads.

In light of recent events, I'm just thinking back to this Trump endorsement press conference in Little Yemen in the Bronx, where "peace" was a major theme. I think it may have aged a little poorly.

Council District 13 candidate Joel R. Rivera wrote that he expected State Senator Nathalia Fernandez's endorsement (despite, by his own admission, not speaking with her). As soon as she endorsed his more qualified primary opponent, he now says, "She's got to go." Dude's ego is that fragile.

With Election Day a few days away, Shirley Aldebol is my first choice for Council District 13. She's won me over - she stood up to more scrutiny (including from myself) than anyone in this race, and she's the best prepared to take on the Republican incumbent.
