Open New York had two big wins last night: @EliNorthrup and @DemondLMeeks in Rochester!

Plus, sixteen pro-housing incumbents are headed back to Albany. New Yorkers want real answers on the cost of living, and building more homes is one of the best we have.

[Open New York @OpenNYForAll]

Look at the momentum: City of Yes, the 2025 ballot props, @NYCMayor's housing plan, SEQRA reform, and new chapters across the state.

The consensus for building keeps growing, and we keep building on it.

"On top of housing, Monitor Point would also create union jobs that can change lives — something I have experienced myself. When I joined Laborers’ @local79nyc through the apprenticeship program, I entered a pathway to a middle-class career" @GothamOrg

Happy Election Day, New York!

Open New York is showing up for our endorsed candidates across the state – leaders who are ready to take on the housing shortage and help build a more affordable NY for everyone.

Make your plan to vote before polls close!

[Emily Smith @emhuntersmith]

Happy primary election day, NYC. The congressional races are taking up a lot of attention but state races matter very much. In Manhattan I strongly recommend @EliNorthrup for AD 69 and @ryderkessler for AD 66.

Get out there by 9 pm!!!

Greatest city in the world.

"The report documents a record-low residential mobility rate of 11.2% in 2024, driven primarily by declining moves among homeowners, who are often “locked in” by below-market mortgage rates." @Harvard_JCHS

[Open New York @OpenNYForAll]

We have much room for improvement just here in the city, as well as across the NY metro/state👇

There's low-hanging fruit for transit-oriented development even in New York City. https://t.co/eGtWOVBiYM cc @aarmlovi

[Open New York @OpenNYForAll]

Transit-oriented development (TOD) is key to improving housing affordability by easing pressures on currently transit-connected neighborhoods and unlocking new ones for workers and families. With the best transit coverage in the country, we can do a lot more TOD here in NY!

[California YIMBY @cayimby]

45% of U.S. housing sits within half a mile of transit, up 36% over two decades. But only 10% is near frequent service.

Seattle and Salt Lake City doubled transit-area housing since 1980; Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston remain heavily car-dependent.

Meanwhile, asking rents in other metros have been plummeting to the point where real estate interests and commentators complain about "over-supply" and "glut".

We can achieve this here in New York as well by legalizing and building more homes.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Manhattan rents have hit a new record high of $5,125/month.

[Jess Coleman @jesskcoleman]

Wild stuff happening in this Lower Manhattan assembly race.

The establishment candidate is running away from her NIMBY record, claiming to be a YIMBY, and causing infighting amongst leading anti-housing activists.

This is the new era in housing politics: YIMBYs winning the argument, and NIMBYs scrambling to rewrite history.
