Serving the people of New York City for over three decades has been the honor of my life.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey, nothing I have accomplished would have been possible without your support.
If you vote for the same old politicians you’ll get the same bad results. If you’re hungry for real change, right now join me! I’m running for assembly to bring affordability, dignity, and change to Manhattan.

@szalony321@YesOnAffHousing@abundance_ny@RemindMe_OfThis Clearly you’re a housing expert so you know it takes longer than 1yr to build 1 building let alone to make a dent in the 500K new homes we need to build in the next 10yrs in NYC. That’s why we need to pass these props to start building faster! But sure, let’s chat in a yr!
The ballot props support more subsidized, rent-reg housing. Rent freezes in 2015, 2016 & 2020 didn’t stop housing production. Aff housing production went up bc the market wasn’t building it on its own. W/ the recent zoning text amendment & these ballot props, we’ll build more
@sarahbatchu@YesOnAffHousing@abundance_ny Who is gonna build housing when there are rent controls? Developers and investors will go elsewhere where they can charge their tenants market rate. Zohran is a blessing for Florida!!!
@RezaC1@YesOnAffHousing@abundance_ny You’re making my argument for me! It was starved of public $ since the 1970s. How can it be a good ex of housing investment when there’s been none & it’s missed 3+ cycles of capital repairs? The 1st real test of public investment will be the NYCHA Preservation Trust or Comp Mods
@Scottie11379@YesOnAffHousing@abundance_ny I’m a rent stabilized tenant (have been for years) on the LES. I’m a tenant organizer — I work with other rent stab and NYCHA tenants. And I pay too much in rent! Which I why I’m fighting for a rent freeze.
@RezaC1@YesOnAffHousing@abundance_ny If you call subsidized housing a loss, you’re thinking too small. We bond to build subways and bridges because they’re essential. Housing is essential too, and it actually saves money long-term through stability and health, which you could ascribe a $ amount to if you wanted to
Clearly you’re feeling a little insecure and lashing out at @HotGirls4Zohran, but it’s not too late to fill up your face card & score one of these fab shirts so you can transform from a Murray Hill not girl into a Murray Hill hot girl!
AOC: “This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping the Holocaust, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together in QUEENS, in BROOKLYN, in THE BRONX, in MANHATTAN, in STATEN ISLAND.”
New Yorkers want bring back year-round open dining! Our bill will:
📆 Allow year-round dining again
✅ Expand footprint for small restaurants
⚠️ Help design safer streets
🍽️ Allow more businesses to participate
Taxes. We pay taxes.
And it’s not unreasonable to ask that our tax dollars are used to help us, instead of given away to billionaires and corporations as tax breaks and subsidies to increase their wealth and pad their profits.
