SO proud of Alexa Avilés 🌹 愛麗莎, a fearless champion for working people & fellow Boricua 🇵🇷, who took on powerful interests in her first term on the NYC Council. They didn’t like her dissent, and mounted a highly funded challenge to unseat her. She won anyway. ¡Felicidades, Alexa!

Alex, this argumentation is so convoluted. Zoning, or land usage, is not a systemic explanation for home prices, either across the US over time, or around the world. Rising prices in former YIMBY darlings is clear evidence of that. What is predictive of housing costs? Incomes.

We need Christopher Marte as Speaker of the City Council.

While everyone was focused on the tax bill, JD Vance just advanced his lawsuit aiming to expand the Citizens United decision before the 2026 election, so billionaires have an even easier time buying elections. The case was accepted by the Supreme Court. levernews.com/j-d-vances-mas…

Join me tonight on Inside City Hall @ 7pm to talk about my pledge to defend our free market.

Happy Independence Day.

Kentucky saw the third largest increase in multifamily housing construction in 2022 - a 97.7% increase in approvals. Still, the percentage of rent-burdened residents increased to 47%. Building into a rigged market will not deliver lower rents. This week, Kentucky sued RealPage.

We don’t worship satin. 400 thread cotton though…

Hey Zohran Kwame Mamdani , can we talk about NYCHA? It was great to meet the mayoral democratic nominee and hear about his vision, his platform and his commitment to New Yorkers. I look forward to talking public housing and rail infrastructure with him.

You know it’s summer when you are the only passenger on a fully air-conditioned M55 bus!

In 25 years covering the oil market, I have never seen anything like this: OPEC has widened its media ban, this time excluding the WSJ, NYT, FT, Reuters and Bloomberg (including myself) from attending its biennial industry conference in Vienna. #OOTT bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This is the guy responsible for bankrolling and propagandizing the YIMBY movement’s campaign against San Francisco’s DSA elected Dean Preston.

Stuck in a NJ TRANSIT train to Penn Station. 3 Amtrak trains passed us. Because NJ TRANSIT relies on Amtrak to dispatch their trains. And @amtrak does not give a damn about the 1000s of commuters.

Hoboken passed a ban on algorithmic rent-fixing. HOBOKEN. Give it up, RealPage.

My distrust of the Abundance movement’s motives stems in part from watching up close how Abundance Gov. Polis vetoed affordable housing legislation because it offended real estate moguls. For all the movement’s talk of affordable housing, this suggests a very different goal.

Ezra Klein Is Oboomer in need of buying another luxury mansion/apartment? He supports YIMBY, which won’t surprise me, but I can see his influence is withering, and the oligarchy class is afraid of the DSA wing growing its power.
