Here is the final version of @CSSNYorg's analysis of the Democratic presidential candidates' housing platforms and their effect on New York City. We compare Biden and Sanders and also bring back all the former candidates for context.https://t.co/awZdbk70mI

Honored the life & legacy of Tom Waters @slowboring, lost to COVID, by taking a walk while many others took walks to remember him yesterday. Can’t wait to be in a dark bar with weird music with the whole tenant movement someday to honor him.

.@NYGovCuomo our members are asking you to define "home" because 92K New Yorkers are homeless and you are demanding they #StayHome during #COVID19. You say: #PublicHealth before the #economy. Whose #health?

Pied Piper's cast of Once Upon a Mattress doing a virtual run-through now, in celebration of what should have been our opening night!

@LeoniaBatlan Some of us fans like to refer to Andrew McLaughlin as "The Notorious RGB-ED."

[Tom Waters, 9/26/63-4/4/20 @slowboring]

This is great. I hope the RGB staff is able to publish its excellent research anyway, though.

#NYC wants to suspend rent guidelines process and create a #rentfreeze for rent stabilized apartments and new leases in light of the #coronavirus says @NYCMayor

@aaronAcarr This can certainly be interpreted as a map the places where you can't get a test unless you definitely have Covid-19.

@ANHDNYC @ChristRobbins @Gothamist Why should real affordable housing construction continue, though?

[Tom Waters, 9/26/63-4/4/20 @slowboring]

@gbaucom Of course in a bunch of cases it's non-Southern versions of the dish that I've eaten -- oyster casserole at the Grand Central Oyster Bar, frog's legs at Le Veau D'Or...

[Tom Waters, 9/26/63-4/4/20 @slowboring]

@gbaucom I've eaten 23 and I was only in East Tennessee for three and a half years!

[piedpipertheatre @PPCTINWOOD]

Tonight would have been our opening night for Once Upon a Mattress. Very disappointed, but PPCT is confident that we will all get through this together, and we look forward to still performing the show for our fantastic WaHi/Inwood community in the near-future! Stay healthy!

@DanielKayHertz @blagojevism At my son's progressive elementary school they taught this one the kids and parents.

[Steve Berg @sberg0]

Convince your state and local leaders that helping people keep their homes and not become homeless is an excellent use of this money. The scale is there

.@NYGovCuomo Our members are worried about what will happen come April 1st when #Rent is due and there is no #PayCheck! Your silence on #RentRelief is making this difficult situation worse for millions of #NewYorkers!

[Community Service Society of New York (CSS) @CSSNYorg]

It is not safe for the RGB to hold public hearings during a pandemic. Stabilized tenants need a rent freeze in 2020!

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

April 1st is 6 Days Away.

The State Budget is Due in 6 Days.
The Rent is Due in 6 days.

What's the plan for homeless New Yorkers?
What's the plan for public housing residents?
What's the plan for tenants?
