[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Last week, I was proud to welcome New Yorkers as they moved into their new apartments at Willets Point in Queens — the city’s largest affordable housing project in forty years.

Earlier that day, I met residents whose NYCHA homes in Brooklyn will finally receive the repairs and renovations they deserve through the Public Housing Preservation Trust.

We're building the affordable homes our city needs, preserving the affordable homes we already have, and investing in public housing in every borough so that working people can continue to call this city home.

Check out the Park's newest visitor — a beaver! 🦫 Recently seen swimming around Gansevoort Peninsula, this beaver marks the first recorded sighting in our 400-acre Estuarine Sanctuary! Though a rare sight in NYC, beavers are native to our local waterways.

Good news, New York: Storefront vacancies are at a post-pandemic low, and we're continuing to unlock opportunities for more small businesses to open and existing small businesses to thrive.

[Rafael Espinal @RLEspinal]

Proud of the work my team did with my neighbors & @BilldeBlasio to make the ENY rezoning a tool for affordability and investment. 10 years later, the results are a powerful reminder of why we made that choice. https://t.co/k21oZuphwc

The countdown to the beautiful game starts now.

“The city plans to build a dedicated “busway” — lanes reserved for buses, emergency vehicles and trucks during peak travel times — on a one-mile stretch of 34th Street b/w 3rd and 9th Aves. Similar redesigns elsewhere in the city have already been shown to improve traffic speed.”

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

[MTA News @MTANewsroom]

The iconic green subway entrance railings and globes have been a fixture of New York City for decades. Now they're orange and blue.

And for the first time, the globes are basketballs.

Finals week hits different in New York.

“Since Mayor Mamdani stepped into office in January, he’s unveiled ambitious policies that aim to address systemic issues that many leaders before him often neglected. Now, his administration has launched a new plan to confront the city’s deep racial inequities in housing.”

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

Business up, vacancies down!

Storefront vacancy declined for the fourth straight quarter citywide and for the tenth straight quarter in Manhattan.

Which of the city’s 76 new tea and coffee shops are you trying next?

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Zohran Mamdani: "We will deliver on the promise we made in our campaign to build 200,000 affordable, permanently rent-stabilized homes. And we will go beyond that and preserve and stabilize 200,000 more."

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

We're building 200,000 new affordable homes for New Yorkers. We're using every tool we have to fix our housing crisis.

Block by Block is the boldest housing plan our City has seen this century. It is what New Yorkers have been demanding for decades.

HAPPENING NOW: Mayor Zohran Mamdani is LIVE with More Perfect University for a Rental Ripoff Hearing *Student Edition*

We’re giving students the mic to talk about skyrocketing rent, horrible landlords, and how we can make NYC affordable for all. https://t.co/BnzjXEJo3R

[NYC Base Campaign @nyc_base]

The May 20 floods across NYC are another reminder: basement tenants can’t wait for safe, legal homes. We applaud @NYCMayor's Block-by-Block plan for investing in basement legalization — a fight BASE has led for 15+ years. Dedicated funding is exactly the right starting point.

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

In too many places, outdated zoning has restricted housing near transit — limiting opportunity & driving up rents.

Through Block by Block, @NYCMayor's bold housing plan, we'll expand housing near subways & buses to make it easier for people to live by the transit they rely on.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

For generations, NIMBY politics stood in the way of building the housing New Yorkers need.

Today, that era comes to an end.

From now on, when communities say yes to housing, New York will LET THEM BUILD.

[Deputy Mayor Leila Bozorg @DMLeilaBozorg]
