https://t.co/4kc5PxnecW The day has come (again) that @debbie_wei and her amazing team thwarted the plans of the #66ers. The #Arena will not be built in #Chinatown thanks to their efforts. As the term #activist gets thrown around so much these days, it's almost meaningless,

If the city wants to close Rikers, it must comply with state law.

Thanks @77wabcnews @Miller_Report and @jimfornyc for allowing @TheRealSPONY to discuss the destructive -#COPA bill that @SandyforCouncil and @NYCCouncil are pushing. There are better ways to help tenants than confiscating private property
Great to be on with @therealspony President @amkorchak and vice president @lincolneccles1 to discuss just how bad intro 902B ( C.O.P.A.) wil be for the real estate market, great comments from @JimWalden_esq. Look foward to the vote tomorrow, if it even happens

@AARPNY @SandyforCouncil what about all the senior property owners who will be financially ruined by COPA?
This op-ed reeks of desperation. It tries to make the case for COPA so older NYers can stay in their homes. In reality, they will be collateral damage on more poorly run buildings. These nonprofits, many with overpaid/ incompetent staff, will not provide better housing to ANY

“COPA’s community ownership would also sacrifice a path to wealth-building and entrepreneurship that has long allowed New York’s strivers, especially immigrants, to achieve the American Dream.”

The growing number of people employed in this low-paid sector helped fuel the appeal of Mamdani’s socialist proposals. Now the City Council is about to repay the political favor.

There is no evidence that the non-profit operators are better, but they are indeed the preferred provider in today's political environment. COPA will upend the market and put even more fiscal strain on an owner attempting to exit it. https://t.co/piokoiORB6

In its rush to force private landlords to sell their buildings to nonprofit outfits, the City Council looks to be favoring a new, even-harder-to-control class of slumlords.

Sounds like crony capitalism to me! “The rigged game would favor nonprofits run by insiders with the right political contacts, and reduce city revenues as it exempts the nonprofits from paying municipal real-estate fees.” https://t.co/piokoiOjLy“

The street vending package opens thousands of new permits and rewrites the enforcement landscape. Intro 431 A gradually adds two thousand food vending permits and twenty one hundred general vendor applications every year for five years. Intro 408 creates a new division inside SBS
At the entrance to the Jamaica Center station in Queens. "Bon appétit" to all those who would protest the removal of these unlicensed vendors.

A lot of promises are made on the campaign trail, and we've seen and heard it all. In this case, we hope that @ZohranKMamdani can put aside preconceived opinions and #skepticism and listen to #Chinatown 's community plan for housing and an alternative site for a jail.
Chinatown has survived pandemics, recessions, and other challenges… but the proposed mega jail may be the breaking point. Jan Lee of NUBC meets with Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani to talk about housing, legacy businesses, and what the community truly needs. At this moment we

Spotted: The Aniioki A9. Top speed: 46 mph. GVWR: 393lb (200lb rider). 500lb max. runs a red light and hits you? the laws of physics will apply. But of course, no plate, no case. It’s a “bicycle” according to @TransAlt. Yet a 50cc moped needs plates and insurance.
