Killing new housing in the suburbs = killing affordability in the suburbs, simple as that

Shoutout to @opennewyork.org and all the organizers, advocates, and voters who made these historic affordable housing wins possible. A housing-focused mayor elected, ballot measures passed, and a growing pro-housing council majority, all worth celebrating.

With the passage of the housing ballot initiatives, Mamdani won a second victory—one he didn’t even campaign for.

These laws will make at least some of his housing policy goals meaningfully easier to achieve.

Zohran Mamdani actually won two elections
New York City’s newly elected mayor just won a fighting chance to enact his ambitious housing agenda.

That's 10 out of 10 Open New York endorsees winning in this election—nearly 1/5th of the incoming @Council.NYC.gov
will be our endorsees. Unimaginable just a few years ago.
CONGRATULATIONS TO @SHIRLEY4COUNCIL!!!

It looks like New Yorkers just passed all three pro-housing charter amendments on the ballot. The mandate is clear: it's time to build more housing.

It's not just Zohran on the ballot in NYC! So far, all four affordable housing proposals appear to be passing! #4 is at 663k in favor to 514k against

New York completely rejected left-NIMBYism today. we elected a socialist pro-housing mayor, and passed pro-housing ballot measures with a diverse coalition that was strongest in the Bronx, winning every borough by double digits (except the MAGA NIMBYs Staten Island)

Obviously not the biggest news of the night but all the pro-housing charter amendments are cruising despite the Council Speaker running a scorched earth campaign against them

On the same ballot, New Yorkers passed four historic charter reforms—powerful citywide tools that will help turn Zohran's vision into hundreds of thousands of new homes.

He's cited Tokyo and Jersey City as models on housing production: now it's time for us to catch up.

We’re going to build so much housing

@shirley4council.bsky.social crushed it.

She’s the housing champion the Bronx deserves, and now she’ll be in @council.nyc.gov!!

A champion for housing justice, Zohran has stood up for tenants’ rights while insisting we build the new homes that New Yorkers need.

For the first time, New Yorkers had the chance to choose more housing at the ballot box—and they chose it overwhelmingly. This is a historic victory for housing that will help make NYC more affordable. 🧵

This record voter turnout is a great sign for props 2-5.

Per @YesOnAffHousing.bsky.social poll with Zenith Polls, YES voters are the majority across all 109 subgroups—but are especially strong among groups which have historically been less likely to turn out.
