Amazing score by Mamdani bringing Andrew in to his already abundance-pilled administration. I've enjoyed getting to know and work with Andrew through @welcomingneighbors.us...and I won't tell anyone in NYC that he's actually a Mass. native! 😅
Some exciting (& bittersweet) news: our Chief of Staff & Policy Director @andrewdfine.bsky.social will be leaving Open New York to join the Mamdani admin, where he will be a senior advisor to DM Bozorg overseeing housing policy 🧵

It's not fair how much better NYC progressives are than LA progressives. We're still stuck on "New housing causes gentrification" out here.

This is the core of our housing crisis. Do we want more inclusive communities? Or do we want to fight for parking spots?
“You cannot pray for the poor on a Sunday and then lobby against their housing on a Monday,” says Shanequa Charles of Miss Abbie’s Kids.
“What side of history do you want your grandchildren to know you’re on? Do you want them to know you fought for parking spots, or for the people?”

We're in a housing and climate crisis. We shouldn't let an environmental review law written 50 years ago hold us back from addressing today's challenges.
Modernizing SEQRA will allow us to build the energy-efficient infill housing, clean energy, and green infrastructure we need.

SEQRA is raising your rent.
Years of paperwork and lawsuits in the environmental review process can add up to $82,000 to the cost of a new home, driving up costs for New Yorkers.
It's time to fix this.

🚨 New York is now set to lose TWO congressional seats. Texas and Florida will both gain 4.
That's because they're building homes, and we're not.
With our democracy at stake, we cannot afford for blue states to lose any more seats. New York must build more housing.

Per a Global Strategies Group poll, support is high across partisan lines and regions, with nearly 3/4 of voters in NYC and majorities in the suburbs and upstate.
61% said they'd be more likely to support a state legislator who voted for it. The message from voters is clear: Albany must act.
