Today was my first day City & State NY! So thrilled to be joining this amazing team (and boy, it is quite the time in NYC politics to be coming aboard). DM me for new email.

Ground up development is generally a lagging indicator of apartment demand exceeding supply. Which is to say: The new building in your neighborhood isn’t raising your rent. The high rents in your neighborhood are raising the building.

Hell yes: Hell Gate *subscribe today!* sued City Hall… and won! A judge just ordered the Adams administration to search for and turn over the records we’ve been asking for for two years. Also they have to pay our lawyers for all the time their obstruction has cost. hellgatenyc.com/hell-gate-wins…

My name is Fabiola, and I’m an unpaid volunteer with Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets. My son Bryan was killed by a reckless truck driver when he was only five years old, and I’ve dedicated much of my life to ensuring no other family has to feel this pain.

I feel ashamed to live in a city where Fabiola, who lost a child, should have to defend herself from slander by a City Council member. Please share her story.

the cops who gave a bystander brain damage during their subway mass shooting are still on active duty

Cops on the platform at Sutter Ave with half a dozen flex cuffs each. A little girl who exited the train with her mom earlier broke down crying after passing cop after cop after cop. Why NYPD thinks the response to people upset by too much cop fuckshit is “more cops,” no idea.

Elected officials caving to the gripes of a few motorists are a big reason it’s been so hard for NYC to make progress on a safe, sustainable street system Rep. Dan Goldman Streetsblog New York nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/09/18/car…

This morning, between 5th and 1st Avenues, I observed no fewer than 11 cars, 3 box trucks, and 2 school buses illegally parked in the East 62nd Street #bikeNYC lane. The NYPD’s response to this ongoing issue? 'Please stop submitting complaints through New York City 311.' 🤦‍♂️

Outdoor dining made New York a better, more vibrant place, so obviously we can't have it anymore.

PLEASE ask about the many ghost cars driven by NYC employees and parked daily outside city precincts, firehouses, hospitals, etc. placard corruption Gersh Kuntzman

.Governor Kathy Hochul has sabotaged the next MTA capital program before it even starts

For two years now Mayor Eric Adams Eric Adams has been claiming to tackle this issue and for two years it’s gotten worse because NYPD allows it. You can report a ghost car parked directly outside of an NYPD precinct and they’ll ignore it because it’s one of their personal vehicles.

Saw a motorbike on the sidewalk that I liked so I got closer and when I got close enough to take a pic I saw it said FOR HIPSTERS on the side and I died

Love to have our Democratic governor talking up acid-spitting Republican Lee Zeldin

They don’t even make violins tiny enough for this. Anyone who thinks being a homeowner in Queens is “unbearable” is welcome to move away and make room for the 50,000 families who would buy in Queens right away and the 100,000 who would rent if we let off some market pressure.

This is dead-on from Donovan Richards Jr.. From Riverdale to Rockaway, we should not assume that the people with the most free time on their hands represent the will, fervor, or interests of the majority when it comes to housing or any of the other major issues our city faces

Peskin likes to cloak himself in progressive rhetoric, but the truth is that he's absolutely a moderate/conservative Dem just like everyone else running for San Francisco Mayor.

“Retire” already, you fucking sociopath
