Progress: Hudson County officials have approved a shared services agreement to pursue legal action related to non-essential tourist helicopters. Communities across NY & NJ deserve relief from excessive helicopter noise, pollution, and safety concerns. Keep pushing for change!

The data meticulously tracked by Norman Oder and Ben Keel shows, developers realized they could completely bypass building housing for the working class by concentrating all their "affordable" requirements into the highest allowable income tiers. laid bare in the image exposes a predatory corporate racket that has utterly weaponized public policy to subsidize the gentrification of Brooklyn. This is not an affordable housing program; it is a legally sanctioned bait-and-switch engineered by billionaire real estate developers and rubber-stamped by complicit city & State officials. By laundering luxury-tier rents through the bureaucratic euphemism of "Area Median Income" (AMI), developers have effectively extracted hundreds of millions of dollars in highly lucrative tax exemptions and zoning bonuses while delivering absolutely nothing to the vulnerable, working-class communities who actually fund these public subsidies. This is institutional betrayal. Let us look at the sheer audacity of the numbers: as the timeline progresses toward buildings like 18 Sixth and 595 Dean, lower-income brackets are completely obliterated from the blueprint. Developers didn't just scale back housing for the poor; they executed a calculated erasure, packing 100% of their mandatory "affordable" inventory into astronomical 130% to 165% AMI brackets. To classify a $3,200-a-month apartment as "subsidized welfare housing" is a disgusting insult to the intelligence of New Yorkers. These units are specifically priced to match or exceed market-rate rents in the surrounding neighborhood, serving as a highly profitable financial shield. Developers get to take an absolute pass on property taxes for decades, hide behind the progressive branding of "community benefits," and still charge six-figure-income rents that actively accelerate the displacement of local residents.  The defense of this rigged system by comfortable city bureaucrats is a masterclass in political cowardice. To stand at ribbon-cutting press conferences and celebrate these towers as "affordable triumphs" while a 1-bedroom unit is on a mathematical trajectory to hit a staggering $5,000 a month by 2031 is gaslighting of the highest order. The city’s housing lottery has been deformed into a cruel joke, a corporate welfare machine where public land and tax dollars are traded for luxury towers wrapped in an "affordability" skin. New Yorkers do not need more toothless oversight committees, reform panels, or performative press releases promising equity. The entire AMI apparatus must be radically overhauled, the corporate tax loopholes aggressively closed, and the corrupt pipeline feeding predatory developers permanently dismantled.

As #affordablehousing baseline continues to rise, what might "low-income" mean if Atlantic Yards buildings open in 2031? normanoder.substack.com/p/as-affordabl… A couple, at 60% AMI, might have to earn nearly $110K and pay $2,565+/month for a 1-bedroom. So, deeper affordability is needed.

FACT: Trump cut funding to stop the spread of screwworms. Then he signed an executive order allowing 100,000 metric tons of beef from Argentina into the U.S. per year. America eradicated screwworms in 1966, while Argentina has been struggling with them for well over a century.

This is why @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins and @NYSAssembly speaker Heastie held up the budget for 2 months. To protect ebikes from being regulated like the motor vehicles they are and hold accountable the people who misuse and break laws on them. This has given these recidivist ebike scofflaws total impunity to drive them as reckless as they want all the time and will intimidate and terrorize pedestrians who are inconveniencing them. When a license plate would have easily identified them or stop them from driving Film everything. Like the NYPD says When you see something say something and #AllEbikesAreEMotos

Because as everyone knows, the DOT is run by transportation alternatives The myth of lobbyists not illegally leveraging 501(c)(3) to do self interested corporate bidding is clear The lies and bullshit being served up by money control of our city needs to be stopped-now!!!

What Ben doesn't want you to know is these men died because of the car-width bikelane that they were sitting next to. Instead of a protective barrier of cars tucked against the curb, they got a bike lane that can fit a car...in this case, the car of a drunk driver.

A member of EVSA was just hit by a trad bicycle in Central Park where the bikes fly down W72nd street hill entrance! Horrible redesign. Never been so many bike and e bike accidents since the negligent redesign- designed to prioritize e bikes, scooters, bikes over pedestrians

Why should you pay more than your neighbor for the same groceries? Big companies are using surveillance pricing to make you pay higher prices for products. Our legislation would ban surveilling pricing while protecting the discounts and sales you count on.
