My 2022 wishlist for the new Council, from lowest-hanging fruit to highest:
Increase salaries & size of every Council Member office's staff
#AbolishTheTaxLienSale and use CLTs to keep debtors in their homes
Replace ULURP with a MMT-based system
#DefundNYPD by $3B
-
ULURP is just a community engagement process. absent a plan i suppose it's a terrain on which organized groups compete to get resources for their interests (more affordable housing, capital $$ for NYCHA, etc)
but even if we were a lot more comfortable with municipal/state debt (NYCHA? lol) we would still need a democratic public engagement process for land use decisions. so maybe you have a problem with whether or not ULURP is THAT, but still don't grasp the MMT connection.
