Thank you @NYDNOpinions for your support of #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity — our proposal to make the city more affordable by creating a little more housing in every neighborhood. And thanks to the many NYers who showed up to @NYCPlanning Comm’n hearing on Weds…to Thurs.
Good discussion on @InsideCityHall on how to create more housing with @errollouis @MTorresSpringer - “80 percent of new rental housing since 2016 required tax incentives”. #truth.

Dear fellow Arabs: There is no amount of injustice that has befallen us or Palestinians, past or present, that justifies #Hamas randomly and cold blooded-ly killing #Israel party goers, families in their houses, people going around minding their own business.
“No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another,” Quran 18:1.
Please stop digging yourselves into deeper ethical holes by trying to justify, contextualize, or explain this crime. Instead, denounce it outright.

October 7th is the most gruesome terrorist attack in Israel’s history.
Yet the President of Cornell University clinically describes it as a “Response to World Events.”
She then complains it is “impossible” to respond to all of the world’s tragedies. The largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, she suggests, is simply one event among many. The butchering and kidnapping of civilians and children are no different from an earthquake.
Why is higher education so lacking in even the slightest semblance of moral leadership?

The DSA held a hate rally, chanting: “from the River to the Sea,” which is code for wiping Israel from the face of the earth.
Let that sink in. The DSA is calling for the destruction of the Jewish State amid the largest single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. When it comes to the butchering and kidnapping of Israeli civilians and children, the DSA leadership has no shame. No decency. No humanity. Only hate.
I have been warning for years about the deep rot of antisemitism at the core of the DSA and its enablers. There’s no denying it anymore.

Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.

Any time you see someone claim that NY politicians are in the pocket of real estate interests, please refer them to this article. therealdeal.com/new-york/202…
Last sentence sums it up perfectly “It’s amazing how many benefits can be reaped by accomplishing nothing.” @erik_engquist @InsideCityHall @mnolangray
Everyone who killed the housing plan had something to gain by doing so, even though, in the big picture, we all lose. therealdeal.com/new-york/202…

Fair point by Dan Kaplan:
“the design, construction, financing, and maintenance of new housing creates good-paying jobs for many New Yorkers from architects and engineers to electricians & concrete workers, to brokers & appraisers, to doormen & porters.” gothamgazette.com/130-opinio…
