Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was shot on his way to work, was a husband, a father, and a longtime member of our community.
When anyone in Harris County loses their life during an interaction with law enforcement, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office conducts an investigation parallel to the agency leading the investigation. Unfortunately at this time, federal authorities continue exclusively handling all aspects in this case.
Let me be clear: Mr. Salgado Araujo’s family and our community deserve the truth.
I urge anyone with video, photos, or eyewitness accounts regarding Tuesday’s shooting in the 6800 block of Canal Street to come forward.
@DHSgov You fucking fucks. DHS is not gonna investigate shit. You all are going to regret this cowardly pussy ass behavior. You’re going down in history for this. For what? For Stephen Miller’s quest to get over not fitting in as a kid in Santa Monica? For trump’s crypto scams? Fuck you.
@hasanthehun We need way more transit but I took the k line to and from sofi last week and it was pretty nice, LA has a lot of cool new train tracks to celebrate and build on
Mamdani: My dream is not that we hold every bad landlord accountable. My dream is that we don’t have to. My dream is that every landlord is responsive to their tenants and that every landlord is following housing code. And I know that there are many landlords who are like that.
The issue, however, is that there are a number of bad landlords who have been able to operate with impunity, with no consequences for their actions. And part of what this housing plan puts forward is specifically funding to ensure that we can hold these kinds of landlords accountable, and especially the top 10 worst landlords in New York City, so that we can actually start to explore all of the tools we need to transfer ownership of those properties to people who will actually steward them safely, whether they’re a nonprofit, a community land trust, or the tenants themselves.
That is how we are looking at this because, frankly, this is the law, and for too long housing code has been treated like a suggestion, not a requirement.
@EricLevitz I mean I guess “get market power” is kinda like “be an effective business operator or capitol allocator at big enough scale within the rules” and she’s just saying it shouldn’t “earn” you that much, which is fair enough
@neilblock@PEWilliams_@arpitrage Sure but feds would pay the market rent for the land assuming their current restrictive zoning. Then override the zoning and build cheap housing using the windfall cost savings to bring down the total expense vs what they would have had to spend on the vouchers
