Despite Real Estate Interest attempt to spin.. @NYCMayor is supportive of COPA and ready to defend it. The City Council should stand by its own legislation and can make any amendments it sees fit.
From Brooklyn Navy Yard to Hudson River Park Trust, all contracts that allow ICE to operate or do business on city-owned land must be terminated. Our city cannot and will not be complicit in the Trump administration’s kidnapping of our neighbors.
Mamdani and Shimamura are both framing parks as an affordability issue. They are "the rare corner of our city that are truly accessible and affordable to each and every person who calls the city home," Mamdani says, later quoting Olmsted and MC Shan
New: Mayor Mamdani is starting to shake up NYC's approach to economic development:
• Enlisting Lina Khan to interview potential heads of @NYCEDC (incl. Marisa Lago)
• Putting EDC under a new deputy mayor
• Talking w/ EDC about city-owned grocery stores:

Two New Yorkers died because of clogged sewer drains yesterday. The largest and most expensive “Infrastructure” projects in NYC right now are the four new multibillion $ jails and I am literally the only person saying this. Why
In Washington Heights, handyman Juan Carlos Montoya was electrocuted trying to deploy a pump in the building’s flooded boiler room.
Friends remembered the father of 5 as gregarious and generous, and loved treating neighborhood kids to candy.
