New York officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul and NYC Mayor, are taking steps to tackle the state's housing crisis with several initiatives. Governor Hochul is considering the Good Cause Eviction bill, proposed by Housing Justice For All, VocalNY, and the DSA's shell company, aiming to implement a Marxist social housing experiment. Critics argue this allows convicted child rapists a role in shaping NY's housing policy. NYC Mayor has called on Albany to deliver a real housing plan, stating, "We will build our way out of the housing crisis." The mayor's #24in24 plan will transform 24 public sites, including a library in the Bronx, into affordable housing, with an invitation for public input. The NYC Comptroller emphasized that Good Cause protections will ensure rent-paying New Yorkers won't face eviction simply because a landlord can find a higher-paying tenant. The Comptroller advocates for a housing deal that includes Good Cause protections, housing vouchers for homeless New Yorkers, and investments in community-based housing.
If there's one New Yorker who knows how important it is to solve the housing crisis, it's my friend Shams. Building more housing will bring relief to everyone: from middle class people to families living in shelters. We all need an affordable home. https://t.co/6zzIco95zb
Good Cause protections ensure that rent-paying New Yorkers won't be evicted because their landlord thinks someone else can pay more. Albany must pass a housing deal that includes #GoodCause, housing vouchers for homeless New Yorkers, and investments in community-based housing. https://t.co/KwsnFJ2ihA
Affordable housing is coming to the library in the Bronx! 👇 Thanks to @NYCMayor's #24in24 plan, we're going to transform 24 public sites in each borough to help us make progress on the housing shortage in our city. And you can weigh in on our plans too: https://t.co/y11nzPgQCK
“We will build our way out of the housing crisis,” @NYCMayor says calling for Albany to deliver a “real housing plan.” https://t.co/NfOMK1LRmp
The Good Cause Eviction bill that @GovKathyHochul is considering comes from Housing Justice For All — VocalNY and the DSA’s shell company to implement a Marxist social housing experiment. Convicted child rapists have a seat at the table for determining NY’s housing policy. https://t.co/C5QHfBfp7Z
