Another item is being heard first, but Just Home will dominate the hearing.

I strongly encourage folks to testify at the City Council on September 18, in support of this project. 👇 bsky.app/profile/mich...
The Subcommittee on Landmarks, Public Sitings & Dispositions is holding the Just Home hearing on September 18, starting at 10 AM, in the main City Council chambers. Please join me in support.

Folks can testify in person, or sign up virtually here: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

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.

The mayoral primary vote in Council District 13 was close enough where I can say as a voter that ranked Zohran and not Cuomo: Every vote counts, and you're welcome.

Obviously Dexter: Resurrection will be using artistic license in this case because New York has much lower homicide rates than Miami.

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