The City of New York needs Just Home, and it is already far behind schedule. We cannot afford to restart the process at another site when there are folks right now who have no other options.

Three years since Just Home was announced, NIMBYs are still coming up with new distractions to stop or delay the project. We must not let these cynical attempts to stop desperately needed housing work.

Just Home has faced opposition by NIMBYs who have attempted to pit the housing needs of vulnerable New Yorkers against each other - even as they opposed or downsized other housing proposals in our district.

Can you believe it’s been three years since this wild community board hearing on Just Home?
On September 18, the NYC Council will finally hold a hearing on this project, which will provide permanent, supportive housing for the formerly incarcerated with complex medical needs.

The certified mayoral primary results show that Zohran won Council District 13 in the final round by 8 votes. This is the one Bronx council district held by a Republican.

The Chair of the New York Young Republican Club Bronx Caucus, "was given the opportunity by BronxNet to air the grievances of the ignored side of the political spectrum," so we can watch a man project his own insecurities and lament declining testosterone levels.

Awful how many Bronxites are going to lose health coverage because of the Big BS Bill. It's years away, but I'm also concerned about the impact these cuts may have on Montefiore's plans to build the Advanced Care Pavillion - our community needs the full facility to be built.

Perhaps some of the signage still needs to be updated, however, to reduce possible driver confusion.

This intersection on Pierce and Bogart was nonsense, so I appreciate NYC DOT taking the initiative to closing the center as a traffic calming measure (while maintaining FDNY access) and creating new and shorter crosswalks.

Joel R Rivera ran a relatively well-funded NIMBY campaign, including placing full page ads touting opposition to everything from rezonings to bike lanes, only to get an abysmal 5th place in the Council District 13 Democratic primary.

Zohran's best performance in the Bronx was in Council District 13 - the one Bronx council district currently represented by a Republican. He came within two points of Cuomo.

Shirley is the favorite for CD13, but Jackie Torres placing 2nd in round 1 is fascinating - she was absent for 2 months and missed the candidate forums. I even thought her campaign was dead when I voted on Father's day, but there was a big last minute push, including TV ads.

Some folks may recall the famed "Trump - AOC" voter - Yahay endorsed Trump at this same press conference in 2024, and then recently expressed dismay when Trump reimposed travel restrictions on Yemen. Trump said he was going to do this before his reelection.

In light of recent events, I'm just thinking back to this Trump endorsement press conference in Little Yemen in the Bronx, where "peace" was a major theme. I think it may have aged a little poorly.

Council District 13 candidate Joel R. Rivera wrote that he expected State Senator Nathalia Fernandez's endorsement (despite, by his own admission, not speaking with her). As soon as she endorsed his more qualified primary opponent, he now says, "She's got to go." Dude's ego is that fragile.
