Appreciate seeing the first press conference held by Mayor-Elect Mamdani at Queens' crown jewel, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. @ZohranKMamdani — we have ideas (20, in fact) at @nycfuture about its future. Let's chat!

Zohran Mamdani announces Maria Torres-Springer, Lina Khan, Grace Bonilla and Melanie Hartzog as transition co-chairs. “The poetry of campaigning may have come to a close last night at nine, but the beautiful prose of governing has only just begun.”

There is no park like Flushing Meadows. But as demands and challenges grew, public dollars haven't kept up. In the latest from @nycfuture, @jbowlesnyc and I laid out 20 ideas for local leaders to deliver the sustained investment FMCP has long been due. https://t.co/hHVhN9Zab7

We've known for a while that our housing shortage is a serious threat to New York's economy. Now, a new @nycfuture report shows that the biggest threat to one of our fastest-growing industries is housing costs.

A recent report by the Center for an Urban Future @nycfuture is a reality check on a looming crisis for many states: providing adequate services and supports for #olderadults. #Medicaid helps fund home and community-based programs like PACE that save costs

NYC’s parks are some of the most vibrant open spaces in the world. But the city can’t keep up with their growing needs. Our new commentary argues that the city should make it far easier for nonprofits and community groups to help care for these spaces. https://t.co/aHLgGyYz2K
