2 more New Yorkers have died in flooded basement after 11 perished in this horrible and preventable way in 2021. NYC needs both more affordable housing options & code enforcement to prevent this from ever happening again. abcnews.go.com/US/submerged...

Winning the lotto is pretty unlikely - so is getting an apt you can afford when 6M New Yorkers are in a lottery for 10K apartments. We need to build: faster, cheaper, and more affordably. That’s why we need to vote YES on Props 2-5 on Nov. 4.

Shameful.
New York needs supportive housing. These 80+ homes have been delayed for too long— @Council.nyc.gov should approve them anyways.

New: First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro ordered city officials to not testify at a Council hearing today about a Bronx housing project for ex-inmates, per sources.This comes after we first reported Mastro has been trying to derail the plan, which Adams used to back.

How can @mayor.nyc.gov allow his housing record to be disgraced- 1st by canceling Elizabeth St & now Just Home? It’s outrageous to reverse on a project by HIS OWN agency w/ a highly respected nonprofit. I couldn’t be more disappointed. Can NYC Council save it? 😔
