    A lot of people don’t understand the larger context around illegal conversions and how that particular framework arose. Although some of this came from light/air/safety concerns, some of it was fundamentally rooted in ideas about what kinds of housing are, and are not, acceptable

    I spent a year being berated for saying basement tenants need and deserve safe, dignified housing in the suburbs. It's so absurd when you're told a parking spot matters more than someone's life. And it's hard to sit with this anger tonight with casualties behind lack of policy.

    I'm reminded of the fable of someone getting lost, asking for directions and being told "I wouldn't start from here". This issue came up in the Albany debate on Weds, an illustration of how twisted it's become. We need a whole new map.

    Implicit in the slogan: it’s unjust for people earning middle-class salaries + higher to benefit from gov-subsidized apts. While 1 alternative is to instead create more lower-income apts that framing is prob suboptimal for forming a political coalition for broad gov-owned housing

    also the big Q for the left isn’t “should we do the rezoning or not” it’s should we expend a tremendous amount of energy in a defensive fight w/in the constraints of city bureaucracy, a type of fight which 99% of the time has only yielded slight reforms, or build power elsewhere

    we should de-concentrate wealth as much as possible and honestly its clear that the soho/noho rezoning absolutely does that in the short term. in the long term it's less clear! in the long term, is lower manhattan under water? anyway we should have the debate on those terms imo.

    which makes the longer-term costs/benefits harder to gauge! this is not the argument that is being made tho. the argument that is being made is "affordable for who" and its exclusionary and silly when applied to soho/noho!

    it's also clear to me that the rezoning will create an immense amount of value (in one of the most valuable real estate markets in the world) for the developer class!

    it seems clear to me that there is a short-term public benefit to rezoning soho/noho and creating a lot of low income housing in one of the city's wealthiest neighborhoods.

    isolates the # of people who will fight for increase in capital investment, targets middle class residents instead of government policy or large developers, etc etc. the question should be what value are we creating, what's the (short and long term) public benefit?

    don't want to wade into housing discourse which i usually (miraculously, somehow) stay above but the whole "affordable for whom" narrative amongst progressive housing orgs seems like it has been a major strategic misstep for those of us who want to expand public/social housing

    NEW: New York is not accepting paper applications for rent relief, despite a clause in the program's contract requiring one. That leaves people without access to technology at risk of missing out on urgently-needed funds, tenant advocates say.

    people died last night b/c of climate change & an apt crunch in outer borough immigrant communities. i'm not of the belief that supply & density alone will solve this. but given that context, it's embarrassing that we let wealthy white people get away with this charade.
