"Meanwhile, Rodolfo Santos, the founder of renters’ group Jersey City Tenants United, said that limiting inspections to high-rises “continues a trend” of policies that benefit mainly upper-class residents instead of lower-income tenants."

A completely preventable tragedy. Evictions kill.
Families are dying. We need basic eviction protections like #HAVP and #GoodCause.

Powerful new research provides robust new evidence on the damaging effects of evictions. Evictions increase homelessness and hospital visits and reduces earnings, durable goods consumption, and access to credit. And they increase indebtedness economics.yale.edu/news/2309…

This will be fun! We need to do economic development for the people, not for high-end gentrification. Small biz, artists, food vendors & community orgs need affordable space.
So excited to host local vendors, artists, community orgs & performers to activate our vision for affordable spaces in a NYC-owned building. Join us to uplift the Queensboro People's Space! @AmirKhafagy91 @HellGateNY @oscarthinks @Gonzalez4NY @ZohranKMamdani @NydiaVelazquez

🚨🚨UPDATE
Hanny has gotten more time and Right to Counsel Attorney!!!
@CMSBQ
Yesterday Queens tenant’s stood in solidarity with their unrepresented neighbor Hanny Chandra.
Hanny was able to get more time from the court to get a lawyer. The courts should not prioritize speed over justice!

Boy math is never raising the minimum wage but still expecting Americans to keep up with the cost of living.

“We have innocent people in here”
Inferring those who speak up are guilty of a crime.
Comparing #Justice4Drew protestors to Jan 6th rioters is insane but then again we are talking about Joyce Watterman
A "Justice for Drew" march came to the steps of #JerseyCity City Hall & then dominated the council meeting.
It was a really wild one! For example, a 10-minute recess was called after someone approached the dais.
@THE_Dan_Ulloa had the bird's eye view.

Call Jersey City Code compliance and ask them to make sure your buildings gas infrastructure is up to code because last week 3 fire trucks came in response to a week and they'll will tell u their job isn't to enforce any codes.

Officials at HUD say older adults are the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population, making up a larger and larger share of homeless people overall.
So when we fight for affordable housing, we fight for everyone to have a place to call home. tinyurl.com/2u6jx7jb

Frankensteining apartments is a freebie to landlords who don't even have to document the changes they make to increase the rent.
Let's end this practice that turns affordable apartments into monsters (extremely high rents)!

Many of the co-ops have expanded membership criteria in past decades, going beyond student housing to housing for older residents and families.

"Last year, projects that relied on 421-A made up half of all newly built #AffordableHousing. And we need the Legislature to help us convert empty offices into affordable homes. Without state lawmakers’ assistance, the progress we made last year will stall."

I have seen the smiles and relief when New Yorkers finally have a stable, safe place to build their dreams. That is why our administration announced a “moonshot” goal of 500,000 new homes for New Yorkers over the next decade.
