Yeah I saw someone call them a word salad which I think is accurate. I've been messaging all my friends who vote with articles bc they're all super confusing or misleading, imo!

Silicon Valley “pro-housing” groups are spending $3M to influence NYC’s election. Why?

To boost real estate profits — not build affordable homes — by cutting communities out of the process.

VOTE NO on 2–4 and spread the word: whatsonmyballot.nyc

Let’s not forget our last four mayors:
Giuliani
Bloomberg
de Blasio
Adams

🤔 Do you really trust giving the Mayor unilateral control over land-use decisions?

Checks and balances exist for a reason.

Once it’s in the Charter, it’s there for good.

This chart from
@mtopp4bk.bsky.social 's video shows what would happen if Ballot Questions 2–4 pass.

There’s no guarantee of more “affordable” housing — let alone deeply affordable homes that Council Members can negotiate for, which we need to address NYC’s #affordabilitycrisis.

Hey, not sure if WFP ever replied, but there are 3 free upcoming webinars that explain the ballot questions in detail, that may be of interest:

“These ballot proposals pit progress against democracy and give too much power to those least accountable to our communities. We can build faster and fairer, but only when the people who make this city run have a real say." council.nyc.gov/press/2025/1... 2/3

This progress is only possible because the Council has a direct role in land use, using that power to center residents' voices, demand affordability, and secure major investments. The Mayor’s ballot proposals 2-4 would strip that power. Learn more about what’s at stake at whatsonmyballot.nyc
