A very Happy Veterans Day today to those who served.

Hooyah Navy!

I'm up at @TheProspect for Veterans Day with a deep dive into one of the most damaging VA policies of Trump's first term: the near-total privatization of disability exams https://t.co/I7QQH3dZhv

This #VeteransDay, read @CityLimitsNews to learn about the housing struggles NYC veterans face—and how #CityOfYes can help.

One important way: #CityOfYes would open up more opportunities for vets to use their VA Home Loans and become homeowners.

As we near Veterans Day, we’re thinking about this @CityLimitsNews piece on how our housing shortage is pricing out NYC’s veterans.

“We absolutely would have stayed if we could.”

“What that means in practice is, as housing becomes unaffordable, my peers leave the city,” McCoy said.

To become a place where veterans can live again, NYC has to build more housing.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

It was a beautiful day yesterday, and I rode my bike to the Rockaway boardwalk to do some thinking. I grabbed a bench and a few pics watching the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers do their resiliency work.

Some #umarell vibes on my part, but I get it.

Opting into “good cause eviction” could help cool the city’s homelessness crisis by protecting tenants from excessive rent increases and preventing evictions where tenants are not at fault.

This article, along with @CPjanaro’s in @CityLimitsNews drives home both the population & homeless drop of veterans in New York, w/a lack of housing!

We talked with reporter @CPJanaro about the implementation of the #GoodCause language included in the state budget. https://t.co/Md2o5xoLov

Have you been keeping up with the news around the indictment of NYC Mayor @ericadamsfornyc?

Alum @CPjanaro '23 has been covering the story with his team at @CityLimitsNews. He just finished his fellowship there — we're excited to see what comes next.

[Chris Janaro @CPjanaro]

Thank you to the staff at @CityLimitsNews, @MVJNetwork, and @newmarkjschool for affording me this opportunity. And thanks to the many helpful experts and sources I've spoken to these last few months.

I'm still deciding what’s next, but I'll be around. Count on it.

[Chris Janaro @CPjanaro]

Today marks the last day of my @MVJNetwork @newmarkjschool  @INN reporting fellowship with @CityLimitsNews. It has been such a privilege reporting on housing and working with such a talented and passionate team of journalists and mentors...

[Chris Janaro @CPjanaro]

We're taught to cut out the use of gratuitous adjectives in our article drafts, but there are not enough to describe the feelings I’m walking away with from this journey. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn, grow, and report on this beat.

It's a flight to Istanbul, Michael! How much could it cost, $50?

[Jeanmarie Evelly @JeanmarieEvelly]

Don't have time to parse the 57-page indictment against our mayor? We read it for you, and pulled the highlights

[(ARCHIVED) Adrienne Adams @NYCSpeakerAdams]

New Yorkers deserve to be able to raise a family and build a legacy right here in our city. Stories like these are why I’m advancing legislation to create more affordable homeownership opportunities for families as part of confronting our housing crisis.

[Open New York @OpenNYForAll]

"The number of veterans living in New York City has dropped by nearly half over the past decade, driven by high living costs and challenges accessing benefits."

Read @CPjanaro in @CityLimitsNews on the veterans being forced out by our housing shortage:

Earlier this week, I was a guest on @CapPressRoom and got to answer a few questions on #GoodCause tenant protections, including how it affects additional state municipalities that opted in outside of NYC
