"Civil liberties experts say [NYPD's] Strategic Response Group’s [aka SRG] recent crackdown on ICE protests is the most brutal suppression of protests in decades—and many of its officers are the subject of significant misconduct allegations" https://t.co/42Re62m0VW

@Dianne4NYC@ztalpnielk@sunnysideyards@infopobn@fuelgrannie@jqllc If you cant be honest about how these programs provide cover for the predatory housing practices of Phipps Houses, the parent corporation, then youre lying from the get go. Being real about these facts though undercut your campaign narrative so you give talking points instead.
@fuelgrannie@JimmyVanBramer@OpenNYForAll@JimmyVanBramer its great that you opposed these projects in a piecemeal fashion, but at the heart of the matter is the zoning law which you yourself passed. To this date no politician has stepped up to suggest an alternative. Until then we all remain at risk getting of zoned out
4 or 5 years ago community members shut down one of the 1st MIH rezonings, pressuring the developer to withdraw the application. Now, with @JimmyVanBramer on his way out, they're back again with the same nonsense. No doubt JVB told Phipps to come back in a few years & try again.
Good day Sunnyside, Woodside, etc.! So, Adam Weinstein, NYC's 11th worst landlord LY from Phipps Houses, is back in the 'hood trying to upzone under @NYCMayor's corrupt MIH.

@Alp_B@fuelgrannie@JimmyVanBramer@OpenNYForAll Another big problem is that the entire affordable housing scheme is centered on MIH with the smallest number of units going to 60% AMI. That means there's literally no affordable housing being built for people below that income level, it's designed that way.
@fuelgrannie@JimmyVanBramer@OpenNYForAll Yeah one idea is that JVB told them he'd approve it on his way out, or maybe they see what direction things are headed in and wanna make a move while they're still a semi-friendly politician there. Either way, this shows developers play a long-term game, so we have to also
🚨Astoria Houses has been without gas for the last 14 days.🚨 Tenants have reached out to housing managers and electeds officials and still have no info. "That's the whole building - no cooking gas." Nobody is giving us any information, no idea when it will be fixed."
