Hochul is talking about basement apartment legalization in the same way that people used to justify the federal government not ending legal segregation in the South.
Having the bodega cat removed? Worthy of an additional indictment.

Good law is made when politicians and bureaucrats work together - b’crats find effective ways to implement the choices elected officials make. When the politics get hot and messy, politicians often put their imperatives ahead of the b’crats’, and implementation is a hot mess.

Urgent safety issues demand action from Albany now. Let NYC make basement apartments safe and legal for residents and struggling homeowners. No more thoughts and prayers. @nyc_base

Just before 5 p.m. on Friday, the hour when craven officials the world over drop news they want to see buried, the NYPD announced that the officers who killed Kawaski Trawick will face no consequences at all for the killing. hellgatenyc.com/shame-upon-new…

If we shifted this frame, perhaps we can also shift to embrace the idea that Thanksgiving was a post-Civil War effort of unification after fundamental moral failure. Thanksgiving is not a day to cement other myths about the treatment of Native people by the United States.

Let’s just leave it to the states.
The eclipse is incredible because for 99.99% of my life I feel like I live in a world and then I see the moon cover the sun and I’m suddenly reminded I live on a planet
Today, we mark the anniversary of Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. Thanksgiving should really be today and, like Passover, we should retell the story every year — and feel as if we ourselves, today, had taken on anew the burden of defeating the Confederacy
To be clear, these basement apartments can be made safe. They remain illegal because the state legislature has bowed to the concerns of constituents concerned with matters like street parking and the "stigma" of having multi-family dwellings in their neighborhoods.

It is completely untenable for Democrats to preach about affordable housing while fighting against building skyscrapers in the densest city in the country. The FAR cap is a completely arbitrary bar on building higher. You can’t be for it and claim to be a housing advocate.

💥New! The cross-party consensus that the way to tackle the housing crisis is to build more homes isn’t working. Instead, we should be pursuing innovative policies that make efficient use of the existing housing stock. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpol…
@ceaweaver The governor is a center right Democrat no doubt about it but this is a foot in the door take it and build on it.
@ceaweaver The question was about tenants and she turned it about real estate’s favorite victim
@megreenwell Love the idea of Doyel asking various conservative Indiana boomers why his weird creepy behavior was particularly creepy and then being informed by the daughter of the man who founded the John Birch society that the main problem with the world is that it’s not 1956.
Surely it will shock you to learn that Gregg Doyel didn’t QUITE take the right lesson from his well-deserved public humiliation.
@JonCampbellNY @InsideCityHall Such nonsense that doesn't live in reality, conservative dems think the world is full of unicorns and care bears eith this type of response
NYC ran a small basement legalization pilot in East New York/Cypress Hills that proved only that homeowners can’t actually legalize their basements for less than like $250K—and often not at all—without changes to state law More: gothamist.com/news/absurd-ru… gothamist.com/news/nyc-basem…
“New Yorkers did not elect the most progressive, diverse Democratic supermajority in Council history to rubber stamp a return to the Giuliani era,” progressive Council Member @tiffany_caban , a lawyer, told @politico politi.co/49GAMNO
hey hiring committees and academic deans, when you jerk applicants around and fail to follow through on minimal professional communication obligations during the process, it’s not just the entry levels who learn how you treat ppl when you have power and leverage. FYI.
Eric Adams wants Randy Mastro to be the city's lawyer. But the council has a say, and a lot of members realllllllly don't like his record. Amid tension with the mayor, they could block him. politico.com/news/2024/04/1…
really grating to see legislators who opposed the housing compact last year claim they're voting for this shitty housing deal because it (allegedly) comes with provisions to grow supply.
The State will make a more convoluted and resource-intensive bill - which leaves LLs a ton of room to evade the law - just to exclude 100,000s of tenants from basic protections. The State doesn't dedicate enough $ for existing enforcement. How are they proposing to enforce this?
One more thing on this - @CarlHeastie said yesterday that Legislature is working on language to help tenants "know whether they are living in a household that would be covered" Our piece includes some specific suggestions for making this effective, per @GoldinerJudith:
Whether it should be legal to occupy basement apartments that meet the safety requirements of the building code is the definition of a thing that doesn’t need any community input
Yet more evidence of the populist, pro-worker turn of the Trump-era GOP.
As governors, we speak up when we see special interests looking to threaten our states’ jobs & values. The UAW has come in making big promises they can't keep — we won't stand for that. #alpolitics My joint statement with other southern governors: bit.ly/3xKWanS
Please watch "The Pruitt and Igoe Myth"... This is obviously not the ideal form, but there are places where this is beloved, well cared for, even expensive housing. Please don't simplify racist underfunded, underresourced housing policy to design choices.
Objectively bad design has real and serious outcomes on communities. From an urban design perspective, we've learned that towers in the park that promote isolation via a rejection of the public way can lead to a protection of criminal activity. That's bad.
👌 Adams hiring a failed opponent of protected bike lanes & congestion pricing as the city’s top lawyer
Anyone writing today about Randy Mastro? Here's an oldie, but a goodie, from the Streetsblog archives: nyc.streetsblog.org/2011/10/03/the…
Naomi Wolf taking on biblical translations after a crash-course in Ancient Greek is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Hi all -- so. I skipped ahead to the New Testament, with a Koine Greek - English side-by-side literal translation, and what am I to do -- so much of the NT has been mistranslated, or, shall I say, creatively translated, in addition to the OT having often been mistranslated. Is it…
They already exist and will always exist. This is largely about making them safer. x.com/a_needhamnyu/s…
@emma_a_whitford To be clear, there are already basement apartments in those neighborhoods, some homeowners don’t want to recognize that they exist though.
Lmao Hochul says there’s going to be “community involvement” to determine whether basement apartments are legalized. This whole housing deal doubles down on the failed model of local control and coddling small homeowners/landlords that got NY into this crisis in the first place!
