Key findings:

- Raising property taxes reallocates homeownership from the elderly to the young
- moving CA from 0.8% to the TX 2% cuts 65+ homeownership by 6.2 points while the youngest group gains
-A 1% property tax increase cuts house prices 22.6%

Bolstered by @GovKathyHochul's SEQRA reform, Mamdani is waging a full-stack war on housing underproduction in NYC 👇

[Open New York @OpenNYForAll]

WE DID IT!!!!

The biggest modernization of SEQRA in 50 years was officially adopted in the New York State budget and signed into law this morning by Governor Hochul.

This is a HUGE victory for housing affordability in New York. 🏘️🎉

Michael Tracey drunkenly pacing outside the Hampton Inn screaming "Acosta! Acosta!" like Achilles calling for Hector outside the walls of Troy.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.

A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.

In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.

Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.

This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.

Council Member Chi Ossé was just arrested while defending his constituent, Carmella Charrington, from eviction. This is the result of deed theft and the ongoing displacement of Black homeowners in Bed-Stuy. Our office is closely monitoring this situation and will provide updates as this develops.

@ChurchillWw @JosephPolitano how do you square this with your recent reporting? Honest question. Different metrics?

[Tom Flaschen @sharpie_eraser]

I was nearly smushed by a wrong-way driver Saturday. In broad daylight. While I was in the bike lane. Not moving.

The @NYPD78Pct said they couldn't help because they didn't witness it, but there has to be some way to yank this guy's license. This is nuts! @NYCMayor ?

Never rent them out to Eddie Munster though

[Hunter Schenewark @HSchenewark]

This is the easiest side-hustle ever.

Pick up a couple of these from Costco, post on Facebook marketplace and rent out for $15/each. We rent them almost every week from now through the end of summer.

They’re on sale at Costco and we just picked up a couple more.

You won’t get rich with 8 tables, but it’s about as passive as income will ever be.

[Ryder Kessler @ryderkessler]

Ever wonder why we keep building skinny glass towers for billionaires and not the kind of homes we need?

It’s our laws.

But we can choose differently.

👆 More midsized apartments
👇 Fewer ugly high-rises

👆 More homes New Yorkers can afford
👇 Less displacement and inequality

[Ryder Kessler @ryderkessler]

I’m so proud to be endorsed by @NYWFP!

As costs rise and Trump attacks our communities, we need bold leadership—to deliver homes we can afford, universal healthcare and childcare, and protections for immigrant New Yorkers.

WFP is leading that fight. Together, we’ll win it. 💪

[Politics & Poll Tracker 📡 @PollTracker2024]

NYT: Texas State Representative James Talarico did not appear as scheduled on “The Late Show” on Monday, and Stephen Colbert addressed his absence in a segment he was strongly advised against.

Colbert: “He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast.”

I’m running for Assembly in District 66!

Why? Because I love New York more than anything—and that means fighting for its future.

It’s time for leaders who aren’t just progressive, but aggressive. Not just resisting, but rebuilding. Not just demanding, but delivering.

[Maza @Mr_Maza]

@oren_cass The small 0.1pp change isn’t evidence of anything (just noise). As Card and others have shown, immigration raises native employment because newcomers both fill and create jobs.

Holding native unemployment flat while losing workers isn’t a win, it’s a drag on total growth.

[John Podhoretz @jpodhoretz]

Here's the danger of social media. It allows people to publish their internal monologues. Our internal monologues and fantasies are often incredibly ugly. People go to therapists because they feel so guilty about them, and one of the tasks of a therapist is to explain that 1/
