    Wrote abt my favorite thing in The Hill ⤵️⤵️

    New York’s rent laws protect tenants from excessive rent hikes and stabilize whole communities. Rather than back away, policy makers should expand them.

    If the legislative leaders agree to this it will be a total sellout. This is not an affordable housing program. It’s a subsidy for luxury housing. Time to end it once and for all.

    According to my colleagues and Sam Stein, the revenue lost to 421-a could have been used to close NYCHA’s budget gap, provide enough vouchers to cover all homeless households, or build 160K deeply affordable units. This program is a drain on our city. It has to go.

    Although many advocates and lawmakers were told ’s 485w, the replacement of 421a, was kicked out of the budget, sources say a one year extension of 421a is still on the table for budget. Both and really want it.

    Our most expensive housing program right now is a kickback & this extension would give REBNY, developers, & investors the chance to grandfather in thousands of projects for an *entire* year. The impacts of this will be felt in Black and brown neighborhoods for decades.

    421a is woefully inefficient — a bad way to produce low income housing. We should end it

    “Since 2014, just 44 units built with the exemption have been offered at the deepest discount possible — tenants who make 30% of AMI. For a family of 3 that means an income of about $32,200 a year to qualify to pay $631 a month for a 2-bedroom unit.”

    The fact there is a little free library in the LOB that is run by a REPUBLICAN SENATOR is absolutely sending me. Resistance Moms - take note and consider visiting (and lobbying for) your local actually-public library

    When the lobbying filings are due we’ll see an unholy alliance of lobbyists for the oil and gas corporations and the real estate industry like REBNY trying to get to stop a ban on gas in new construction. Will he listen to the people or the big 💰💰💰?

    Let's be real about this, 485-W is a rebrand of 421-A. BOTH the Senate & the Assembly removed 485-w from their one house budgets, , it is your turn to show you care about millions of renters and homeless New Yorkers. Sign our petition below:

    Good cause eviction could actually improve the relationship btwn landlord and tenant imo bc the relationship would no longer be completely power imbalanced towards one side

    Today is a good day to build more affordable housing, and stop the divisive nature of the Landlord/ Tenant relationship. does nothing to foster either positive endeavor. Go back to the drawing board

    especially if you are represented by a moderate dem, we need you to make calls & very clearly state you are a constituent and what you want to see in the budget. if you're not, it doesn't hurt to express thanks, and support for electeds who are holding the line.

    421a is NYS’s most expensive + ineffective housing program It costs us $1.77B in lost property taxes/year to fund luxury development that is 75-80% market rate It’s scheduled to expire in June but is trying to give it new life under a new name — 485w 🧵

    The history of Albany in the last 25 years (and more) is of blocking reform; the history of this country is setting up legal systems to protect property ownership over all else. This tweet is embarrassing and a historical

    Today truly was a beautiful call for justice, in the face of the violence of homelessness and the threat of rollbacks. So much gratitude for member-leaders, and the good people that make up .

    Incredible leadership (and voice!) from and others at today’s action on the intersection between housing, incarceration, health, and justice. The solidarity around we brought to ’s office door was beautiful & powerful — I still have chills.
