Enthusiastically voted today @MTA in support of a design contract for the Interborough Express (IBX)-will take riders 14 mi. from Bay Ridge to Jackson Heights. Great opportunity for access in transit deserts, connections to existing train lines & use of existing infrastructure.

With the state's outdated FAR cap finally gone, we were able to DOUBLE the amount of housing in our proposal for Midtown South.

10,000 new homes in the heart of Manhattan — let's make it happen!

Good stuff happening in NYC. 17,000 homes coming out of office conversions already — including 1,602 (with 400+ permanently income restricted affordable) from the former Pfizer Headquarters on East 42nd Street. Enabled by City Of Yes for Housing, and a tax incentive from NY State.

We have a plan to create a more vibrant, mixed use community in Midtown South (roughly 24th to 41st Streets, 5th to 8th Ave), and it is now before the City Council.

We’re giving new meaning to work from home…or should we say, “home from work”?

More space for homes, less parking where it isn’t needed. 

With City of Yes, we’ve rolled back outdated parking mandates to tackle NYC’s housing crisis.

I want to recognize the great work of @MTA conductor Theresa Footman, who demonstrated extraordinary professionalism, calm, and humor in the power failure that required evacuation of 3,500 riders last Weds. Amazing poise in a very difficult situation.

Congrats @theNYHC on an incredible conference in support of the affordable housing community today. Thanks also for inviting me to participate — and for all of your incredible leadership and advocacy in support of housing supply in NYC

In Parkchester, BX for tonight’s community conversation with @NYCMayor. Got to catch up with @NYCCouncil Majority Leader (and local rep for Parkchester) @CMAmandaFarias. Watch live nyc.gov.

Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving.

A huge congratulations to our new police commissioner, Jessica Tisch. A tough, smart, committed New Yorker who knows how to deliver results. I wish her all the best in her new role.

@NYCCouncil just passed thoughtful amendments to #CityofYes for Housing. As modified, it enables 80K units while respecting neighborhood context, keeps every core component of the initial proposal, and ensures we create a little more housing in every neighborhood. Well done!

I cast my @MTA vote today in favor of congestion pricing, to take direct aim at crippling congestion & its economic consequences, and to deliver key projects like the 2nd Ave subway, better signals and reliability, more ADA stations, electric buses and more. Starts Jan 5.

New Yorkers are struggling with the price of housing — so let’s take this opportunity to say yes to #CityofYes, and set the city on a more affordable path.

Congestion pricing will improve traffic speeds and emergency response times, and deliver better and more accessible transit. Grateful to @GovKathyHochul for unpausing the pause, and for her support of the 2025-2029 @MTA capital program. My vote @MTA Board will be a "yes.”
