This is a particularly detailed and thoughtful piece for anyone interested in actually building more housing in NYC
New housing roadmap with @VitalCityNYC: -Tax foreclosure risks for ~100k rent regulated homes -Partial RGB freezes to end slumlording -Ballot measure fast tracks to fix & grow NYCHA -"Real" TOD upzoning -Leveraging a "secret" new funding source to build 2 or 3 new train lines(!)

Bam! New issue of Vital City just dropped! We look beyond politics to focus on what Mamdani should actually do to improve governance in NYC.

How can Mamdani actually *do* what he promises? How should he manage? What tradeoffs should he make? How should he deal with Trump? What should he do to make the city safer and keep its budget sound? Vital City will be working hard to answer all these questions in the weeks

Despite what you've heard during the mayor's race, this city is a miracle.
One extremely underrated narrative in the NYC mayoral race: Things in New York are actually going pretty well under Eric Adams! Somehow, neither Adams nor Cuomo was able to seize on this simple fact. And Mamdani has been able to sell change. Great writing from @GregBerman50

As we live through the 50th anniversary of New York's fiscal crisis and near financial collapse, @EichenthalDavid in @VitalCityNYC reminds us how federal aid ultimately was provided, and why cities now face much worse prospects under @realDonaldTrump:

In the 1970s, the federal government helped rescue New York, but cities today can’t count on help from Washington.

Big news from London. I’ve had the pleasure of watching Phil Bowen work for more than a decade now. What he’s accomplished is nothing short of remarkable.
After thirteen years of leading the Centre's work, our Director, Phil Bowen, is stepping down. See the full statement from the Board of Trustees here: https://t.co/GfwN9s9BWG

I'm biased, but this is well-deserved recognition for a great organization.
We are delighted to have been shortlisted for Outstanding Large Organisation award by @cjalliance. Particularly proud to be alongside the excellent and inspiring organisations in the same category, @BCWomensAid, Anawim & @ThisIsSurvivors.

@realDonaldTrump attacks on cities and America's anti-urban bias mean even if @ZohranKMamdani becomes New York's mayor, he'll have very little room to expand deliver or expand on his programs. My article in @VitalCityNYC : https://t.co/WmVJwuZcb0

Economically, New York faces few good options in the face of Washington’s hostility.

.@harrysiegel always worth reading but particularly impressed he was able to find something interesting to say about a pretty blah NYC mayoral debate
In a not-much-to-see-here debate, one exchange caught @harrysiegel's eye. https://t.co/fsfpgwkNn6

I've got a new book coming out in November called "The Nonprofit Crisis." It offers an inside perspective on how American nonprofits have tried to navigate a polarized era (not always successfully). Please consider pre-ordering here:

We rely on nonprofits every day to feed the hungry, care for the sick, and perform a host of other essential work, but American nonprofits have been under siege in recent years. Attacked by the left...

This is a great mantra. Every politician and advocacy group should have this as their screensaver.
Trade-offs are everything.
