Abundance was on the ballot Tuesday + now Democrats can deliver but will need a sense of urgency on policy to meet the need Housing construction and supply growth takes years and the trend is moving fast in the opposite direction.

Rents rose 8.3% in Manhattan, 4.9% in Brooklyn, 3.9% in Queens and 2.7% in the Bronx over the past year.

Rent freeze, we have a problem: affordable housing can’t get financing. https://t.co/huHvh3U0mR

The energy on the marathon route is absolutely unique and special to NYC. The NYC Marathon is a win for small businesses, too. @Mastercard data shows spending at small restaurants and bars along the route rose 22% on race day last year - I’m sure with the weather today results will be even better.

Congrats to the runners today

Today I moderated a @Partnership4NYC conversation with Hillary Clinton, Blair Effron and Steven Rattner alongside 150+ C-suite leaders.

Employers reach millions of New Yorkers. Turning that reach into greater civic participation is a priority for us.

[Steven Fulop @StevenFulop]

Joined Rob Speyer for an employee town hall at Tishman Speyer on civic engagement.

Partnership member companies employ 500,000 New Yorkers. Connecting them with opportunities to help shape our city’s future is a new priority and this is how we start.

[Steven Fulop @StevenFulop]

A stronger New York takes sustained dialogue between business leaders and lawmakers. We hosted state legislators and CEOs from across industries at the Partnership for a productive conversation. Thank you to everyone who joined us—let’s keep building on it.

Thank you @JamesSkoufis @ebottcher @SalazarSenate @ShelleyBMayer @PamelaHunter128 @JoAnneSimonBK52 @AliciaHyndman

[Steven Fulop @StevenFulop]

Great to host Steve Rattner for a conversation with our David Rockefeller Fellows about the economy and NYC’s future. Bringing business leaders together to understand the city’s challenges and help move it forward is what this program is about. Thanks, Steve.

Access to cycling is an important part of making NYC more connected and accessible - Did you know the Partnership Fund for New York City (the city’s largest employers), played a key role in helping expand Citi Bike into more neighborhoods across Brooklyn, Queens, and Upper Manhattan?

It’s just one example of how we invest in innovative ideas that strengthen our city, expand opportunity, and focus on improving everyday life in NYC. This was a big idea w/Real impact and ultimately a stronger NYC.

Great to kick off the New York Jobs CEO Council’s conference with Executive Director Kiersten Barnet for a conversation about our shared commitment to expanding opportunities for young New Yorkers and creating stronger pathways into the workforce and meaningful careers. @Partnership4NYC

The housing affordability crisis won’t be solved overnight. Even if we start making the right decisions today, it will take 8-10 years to meaningfully address. The key is recognizing that housing supply has to be the overriding priority. We cannot allow special interests, political considerations, or competing agendas to distort the economics of building housing. If we are serious about affordability, we need to make it easier, faster, and more economically viable to build - and prioritize increasing supply above everything else

@MattFriedmanNJ Correct. The new org chart is just James with arrows pointing back to himself. Universal agreement. The staff unanimously agrees the mass resignations are all my fault.

[Steven Fulop @StevenFulop]

October 7 should be a day to remember the victims of Hamas’s horrific attack and stand with their families and survivors.

The Mayor’s decision to use this solemn anniversary to advance divisive political arguments was inappropriate and unnecessarily inflammatory. At a time when heightened antisemitism is a real concern - one the Mayor himself has acknowledged - New York’s elected leaders should be focused on bringing our city together and addressing the urgent challenges facing New Yorkers, not creating further division.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.

The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.

Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.

To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

Remarkable to see new Type I/II highrises continue to pencil in Jersey City, even in today's tough financing environment.

We need a deep dive on how Jersey City is (sucessfully?) navigating the new world of higher rates & lower political tolerance for property tax PILOTs

Some key findings from our recent research report on AI’s impact on NYC. You can read the full report at the Partnership’s site.

[Steven Fulop @StevenFulop]

AI is booming in NYC. But the benefits aren’t reaching everyone.

AI firms leased millions of square feet office space in just the first half of 2026, even as entry-level hiring declined sharply across many AI-exposed occupations.

Our new report on what this means for NYC’s competitiveness and workforce:

An obvious win tor Miami and in many ways at the expense of Chicago and NYC - I think this is obvious, but worth saying: when companies relocate or build major new hubs, the impact goes far beyond employees, taxes and direct economic activity.

Civic investment and philanthropy follow too. Those dollars don’t necessarily double when a company expands elsewhere - they increasingly get shared or redirected.

$2 billion of Ken Griffin’s $3 billion gift will build Carnegie Mellon’s new Miami campus. That is an enormous win for Miami - and a reminder of the broader opportunity cost for places like Chicago and New York when corporate gravity shifts elsewhere.

[Carnegie Mellon University @CarnegieMellon]

Today, Carnegie Mellon University and Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel and founder of Griffin Catalyst, announced a historic $3 billion gift to elevate Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh and launch Carnegie Mellon University Miami. #CMUMiami
