Thank you Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for citing our research & spotlighting the affordability crisis. Our report “When You Can’t Afford the Fare” shows that New Yorkers with low and even moderate incomes are struggling to afford transit. Read more cssny.us/3LXjhD6

It astounds me how cities so often destroy the things that make them good. I think it has something to do with the fact that too many policymakers uber from home to work to restaurants and seldom actually partake in "city" lol

Excellent proposal by @cssnyorg.bsky.social's @iziah-thompson.bsky.social on how Zohran's admin can fund more affordable housing construction. The proposal's Revolving Housing Construction Fund (RHCF) would invest in City-built housing, recycling revenues back into the fund for future construction.

“Our research shows how systemic tax policies place an undue financial burden on working-class renters & neighborhoods with mainly Black & Hispanic residents, while wealthy real estate speculators receive preferential treatment,” said the report’s coauthor, Iziah Thompson.

In 2022, NY voters approved the Bond Act to fund climate projects. Three years later, just 16% has been spent—and NYC public housing residents, essential to its passage, have been left out. Lawmakers are urging Governor Kathy Hochul to fix the rollout and invest in safe, green homes today.

New, from me: as the Trump administration begins, I try to make sense of what, exactly, DOGE is. Journalists and policymakers should be skeptical of its claim to be a govt reform commission, and more willing to see it as a form of oligarchic state capture. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-dange...
