Logan Phares

political director at @OpenNYForAll. opinions are always perfect and correct and my own 😌

[Annemarie Gray @annemariegray]

This is outrageous. These are just NIMBY talking points.

John Mangin is a brilliant pick by a Mayor who clearly is trying to actually address the housing affordability crisis and following what NYC voters voted for.

I’m a NYC renter, so the housing crisis is personal for me. Honored to have the endorsement of housing champions @OpenNYForAll.

[oatmeal influencer @acechhh]

it’s a conversation many are too scared to take on

[Andrew Stern @andrewbstern]

Some ~personal~ news: I’m thrilled to join @NYCHousing as press secretary!

New York is facing a historic housing crisis, but there’s an incredible team working every day to tackle it. Excited to tell their story!

[Marissa D. Barrera @mdb2]

political staff are real human beings, often young, overworked and underpaid with no HR recourse or union. it’s time that good staff treatment be considered a qualification for public office.

[Cea Weaver @ceaweaver]

“Only 2 percent to 7 percent of officeholders at various levels were renters, while almost half of the people in the cities surveyed were renters. That underrepresentation shapes policy at all levels”

I’ve heard a lot of vote explanations, but Sen. Rachel May on the @NYSenDems budget resolution is a master class in a concise argument with a measured fervor.

And with no notes!

[Lincoln Restler @LincolnRestler]

If you know Yume, you know she will be a superb DCAS commissioner and will somehow find a way to keep writing excellent books during late night shifts.

[hottiepants @punishedpants]

new yorkers accepted "freeze the rent" without blinking an eye. imagine if the proposal was "freeze the women." not so funny now is it

[NYC Mayor's Office @NYCMayorsOffice]

You probably don't know what SEQRA is - but you should know that it's slowing down the housing that we need. Deputy Mayor Leila Bozorg is here to explain why reforming it is key to cutting red tape and building more housing.

[Open New York @OpenNYForAll]

.@ZohranKMamdani calls for modernizing environmental review “to deliver an affordability agenda on the timetable needed.”

“We cannot address our housing crisis without making it easier to build in NYC.”

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”

[Chi Ossé @OsseChi]

The gestapo is lying to you. What they did was murder an innocent woman in Minneapolis. If they can do it there, they can do it here. ICE needs to stay out of New York City.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

This is non negotiable. You cannot support the existence of this fascist secret police.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Just an evil, empty man. When it benefited his career he went on MSNBC & NPR and told rich liberals his relatives were intractable, drug-addled hicks, when he saw the MAGA writing on the wall c 2021 he became a Thiel vessel. now he’s chief nazi propagandist writing in Yalie tones

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

Not only is this true, but she's an excellent advocate for progressive housing policy writ large. Pro development, pro affordability, fits perfectly with Zohran's wider agenda there.

[PL @Luc_pete]

The idea that Zohran would or should get rid of Cea Weaver is ludicrous. Mind you, they’re only doing this because she has been so effective as a housing organizer.

[Logan Phares @loganphares]

Cea is brilliant and has done far more to protect New Yorkers and solve the housing crisis than anyone attacking her right now. There’s no one better to lead the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants and I’m happy to see @NYCMayor standing by his appointment.

[Craig McCarthy @createcraig]

Zohran Mamdani stands by Cea Weaver:

"We made the decision to have Cea Weaver serve as our executive director for the Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants, to build on the work that she has done to protect tenants across the city, and we were already seeing the results of that work."
