@GovKathyHochul, you came to Chinatown to celebrate the $20M DRI grant. But did you know that Wellington Chen, the man you're posing with, has done nothing with the facade & building improvement funds for 37 months? The Chinatown BID, under Wellington Chen’s leadership, was supposed to distribute facade & building improvement grants. It’s been over 3 years, and businesses are still waiting. ASK Jannette Rausch .

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

We didn’t just invest $20 million in Chinatown, we’ve invested time and love to this community.

Great to see such vibrancy today. New businesses are popping up, Lunar New Year was a huge success, and the future is brighter than ever in Lower Manhattan.

Show some love to this Big Belly trash container DSNY! Missing handle, foot pedal is broken, graffiti'd and dirty. It doesn't hold garbage...it IS garbage. 🙄 (corner of Allen St & Delancey) #nyc #newyorkcity #dsny #sanitation #nycsanitation

Are landlords having trouble finding tenants for the thousands of vacant rest-stabilized apartments?

Apparently not!

So what exactly is going on with "warehousing" stabilized apartments? The mystery deepens, and we dive in.

[Joseph Reiver @ESGEDNYC]

Empty rent-stabilized units, empty office space, empty lots. All opportunities to help against the housing crisis.

Not destroying community gardens during an equally important climate crisis.

We kept the plan to allow supersized residential development out of the state budget, but there’s a new push in Albany to get this cap lifted before the session ends. Join me in telling State legislators to say NO: https://t.co/3vpCsx3Pc4 #DontLiftTheCap @gvshp

Tom Moore aka "NIGHTLIFE TOM" is back at @cb3 to pitch his alcohol fueled performance space at #5chathamsquare in Chinatown. He pitched infamous #duckclub name now changed to FLAGROUP, BUT STILL TOM MOORE. Join cb3 zoom June 12 2023. More info @ChinatownCore

[The Chinatown Core @ChinatownCore]

#5CHATHAMSQUARE is not suitable for a 10,000 sq. ft alcohol-driven performance nightclub space. Never has been, never will be. The Community has spoken through our HUNDREDS of signed opposition petitions.
We will continue to Oppose #TOMMOORE aka "Nightlife Tom".

[Jan Lee @janccrc]

Tremendous presentation by @ThinkChinatown for the co-naming, not a renaming, of Mosco street in honor of Corky Lee. At @CB3Man transportation committee. Very strong support by the committee.

A human chain in #Chinatown blocking construction crews from starting work on new jail. @EvelynYang - wife of former presidential and NYC mayoral candidate @AndrewYang - among those arrested. #rikers cc @janccrc @ChrisMarteNYC @NUBCanal @NYCMayor

It is confirmed that the construction fences will be going up 6 AM tomorrow Wednesday morning need everybody to come out defend our Chinatown don't let them put up defenses we will be there 6 AM.

[Evelyn Yang @EvelynYang]

BREAKING NEWS. Stage 1 of jail construction (fences) is happening this Monday 4/11 starting 6:45AM. We will be there to protest- join if you can. After 12,000 letters and all of Chinatown, neighbors and allies condemning this “tall Rikers” the city is still steamrolling through.

[Neighbors United Below Canal @NUBCNYC]

This might be go time! This photo was taken by a scout of ours at 6pm tonight. City taking over Baxter street parking . Construction fences may be going up tonight or in the morning. We need ppl. To come and support. #stopthefences 7am centre street and white street.

[Documented @Documentedny]

1/ Chinatown and Little Italy came together to protest at the Manhattan Detention Center, where the city has recently installed construction fencing — a sign the jail is soon to be demolished. About 40 people showed up in opposition. Here's what Documented reporter @KEXU3 saw.

[Neighbors United Below Canal @NUBCNYC]

Because we came out and protested the scheduled construction fences weren't erected today. Today would have been the first day in the total demolition of the two gigantic Chinatown jails. But we stopped them for now. We're back tomorrow to do it all over again . #unitedwestand

[Danyela Souza Egorov @dany_egorov]

Today I joined the Chinatown and Little Italy communities to protest the $2.3B mega jail that the city is planning to build. It is an expensive and unnecessary plan, we already have a jail there that should be renovated. #StopTheMegaJail @NUBCanal @Danyela4NY

[Neighbors United Below Canal @NUBCNYC]

Here we are at #cityhall!!

[chinsky @chinsky]

Eric Adams keep your campaign promises. No new Jails. Invest those billions in people and communities not building monuments to incarceration. Don't destroy our neighborhoods! #STOPTHEMEGAJAIL
