50 years ago, NJ’s Supreme Court ruled every town must create its fair share of affordable homes. Today, that framework is stronger than ever — and a national model for housing policy. For @BrennanCenter, @jagdavies explores the lessons for other states: statecourtreport.org/our-work/analy…

This idea that the NYC mayor must appease cops is incredibly anti-democratic. The police don't get a veto over the elected representatives chosen by voters. In theory, they're actually supposed to listen to the mayor. nytimes.com/2025/09/08/nyr…

Thanks to NJ's new law strengthening the Mount Laurel Doctrine, more towns than ever are creating affordable housing. Excellent reporting on NJ's affordable housing requirements — the strongest in the U.S. — by @roshantone for @NextCityOrg/@Shelterforce: nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…

Tremendous work by tenant organizers in Passaic to strengthen rent control and protect residents from skyrocketing rents & displacement. Big thanks to @MaketheRoadNJ for organizing this effort — and to Mayor @HCLora and the Passaic City Council for standing with their community.

Appreciate this discussion. Drives home how zoning reform is *necessary but not sufficient* to fix the housing crisis. Even if Abundance types use it as a Trojan horse, it's still needed—just woefully insufficient w/out much stronger tenant protections & public sector investment.

A reminder: framing homelessness as a problem of mental illness or addiction has been politically manufactured to divert attention from its *actual* causes—skyrocketing rents, poverty wages, gutted social supports—and to justify the removal of homeless people from public space.

Abundance for the many is about making essentials affordable by all means necessary. Great conversation about the need for a new economic policy agenda that goes beyond removing blockages and waiting for corporations to do the rest. @BigMeanInternet @PEWilliams_ @DanielDenvir

“What should have been a straightforward vaccination turned into a Kafkaesque runaround—one that portends the chaos to come. The result will be… more transmission, more cases, more long Covid, hospitalizations, and deaths.” My latest for @newrepublic: newrepublic.com/article/196742…

To understand how @ZohranKMamdani won the mayoral primary by a full 12 points last month, it helps to understand how tenants like Ferdousi Begum and Parveg Hasan decided to go on the offensive against real estate. My first for @nybooks, learned so much! nybooks.com/online/2025/07…

Municipal socialists have to take on the police. If they can't do that then they can't govern. That is a pragmatic issue not an idealistic one.

The Affordable Housing Trust Fund was gutted in the new NJ budget. This is a reckless, fiscally short-sighted move — penny-wise but pound-foolish. Our state policymakers must do better.

Hot Take: the number of establishment Democrats who are not endorsing Zohran is inconsequential to the general election, but will have consequences when THEY run for re-election.

Here's the ugly reality of the ‘big beautiful bill’: Millions of people will be kicked off Medicaid. This will dramatically increase incarceration rates and make communities less safe. Expanding Medicaid ➡️ fewer arrests.

Just a reminder for everyone that has memory-holed it — but 54% of Democrats favored and just 24% opposed the idea of defunding the police & shifting that budget toward civilian agencies back in 2021. Not a radical position. @ZohranKMamdani

NEW: Zohran Mamdani's multi-racial coalition toppled Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday. He won three of five boroughs, the renter class, & "middle income" residents; doing best overall with younger & less frequent voters. My take on Mamdani's Mandate: michaellange.nyc/p/the-zohran-c…
