And destroying the beautiful Drake Hotel designed by my great grandfather Emery Roth, that should have been landmarked. 432 is a monstrosity and lays vacant most of the year. #emeryroth @nyclandmarks

"Today, a New York Supreme Court justice ruled that the developers’ plans for four high-rise towers in Manhattan’s Chinatown and the Lower East Side violate the New York City Zoning Resolution and nullified the approvals needed for the proposed projects."

A too-tall Upper West Side building may have to be shortened by 20 stories. Developer loses zoning fight in court. https://t.co/5kWXe3UFtN

"Justice W. Franc Perry ordered on Thursday that the Department of Buildings revoke the building permit for the tower at 200 Amsterdam Avenue near West 69th Street and remove all floors that exceed the zoning limit."

The City agencies are a disgrace. This developer circumvented the zoning code AND gets a pass! Good bye @SaveCPSunshine

@NYCMayor This is not an acceptable resolution. The way this played out seems corrupt and unfair. The way the 5th person recused herself makes the whole process look like a sham. You set up this commission, why can't you break the tie?!

[Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 @bradhoylman]

Today’s split decision at the BSA shows how extreme Extell’s plans are and the danger mechanical voids pose to other neighborhoods that could soon be blighted by supertall buildings. It’s shameful that the BSA is allowing this project to move forward.

Each day we trade away more and more of our privacy in exchange for convenience.

Today I intro’d a reso w/ ⁦@SenKevinThomas⁩ to declare January 28 #DataPrivacyDay in the State of New York to begin a conversation around the data we share & how we can best protect it.

@bradhoylman @LindaBRosenthal @SenatorRJackson This bill must be brought to a vote. So important as the City has betrayed New Yorkers and their right for sound and fair zoning laws. BSA is a disgrace.

I was let go as the editor of @BklynEagle yesterday, and so were 3 of the most talented people I've ever worked with.

This isn't a "local journalism is doomed" story. What we accomplished is a very different story. A story that bodes really well for journalism. Keep reading.

@NYCMayor @NYCPlanning @NYCCouncil policies have "created a vacancy problem in a city where thousands of people are desperate to find places to live.” #VotersAgainstSuperTalls
