    . is at a crossroads. He can create *deep* affordable housing in one of the wealthiest areas of NYC... or he can abdicate his constitutional obligation of reversing the tide of segregation in the 2nd most segregated city in 🇺🇸 So, what’s it going to be, Mayor?

    ., you may think your constituents don't notice your rezoning double standard, but they do. You can't let SoHo veto a rezoning while claiming you want this to be the fairest city. What happens in one neighborhood affects every other.

    Let's compare SoHo and and examine why some don't want low-income residents to have the chance to live in a high income neighborhood.

    Is there a more compelling archetype than the 60-something, white, free-parking enthusiast New Yorker?

    I mean, love it or hate it (and to be clear, I mostly hated it) DCP once got a 530 block rezoning through ULURP in 32 days. The issue isn't time.

    We're now at the point where 2 years is "simply not enough time" to rezone a neighborhood

    It would be a shameful cop-out for to let multimillion-dollar loft owners like Sean Sweeney run out the clock in two of NYC’s wealthiest neighborhoods—2 years is half his term, and SoHo/NoHo is already a year in. If he has time for S. Blvd + Bushwick, he has it for SoHo

    FYI if I were president this executive order would mandate all buildings be art deco skyscrapers with flood lights moving around at random.

    Ahh yes. We are truly blessed that our president is the famously tasteful patron of classical and well-respected architecture, Donald Trump.

    As the planet burns, privileged Upper West Siders are fighting to preserve free parking spaces. Good luck, everybody.

    Your annual reminder: the biggest problem with the electoral college is state boundaries are totally meaningless. If the FL panhandle were part of AL or the MI UP part of WI Hillary Clinton would be president with the exact same popular vote.

    Take the Mt. Laurel rule in NJ. Every town is required to plan for a certain amt of new housing affordable at every income level. Notably: 1) it was created by a judge, not a political compromise 2) towns that don't follow *lose their role in planning*

    This bill from , , and is going to live or die by the enforcement provisions. If there's no way to compel CMs, comm. boards, other kinds of NIMBYs to actually *follow* the plan it becomes 100% a hindrance.

    My opinion about basically everything is that we should all be nicer to each other, most of the time. Unless you’re a fascist, billionaire apologist, or NIMBY. Then eat shit.

    It’s important to fully (and statistically) understand what drives most zoning decisions in high opportunity areas, and, relatedly, why hasn’t created a single unit of affordable housing in SoHo. Exclusionary zoning is a lucrative business.
