Do you think some of the Democrats who voted against this from the Outer Boroughs like Bob Holden might switch parties? Holden in a somewhat unrelated move just called for Kathy Hochul to remove Alvin Bragg from office despite the fact Holden isn't from Manhattan
Also liked seeing that just a few seconds ago Vickie Paladino gave in to a us vs them mentality in terms of the outer borough's vs Manhattan implicating the outer boroughs as the working class "us" vs the rich elite Manhattan "them"
Good luck trying to defeat Alvin Bragg next year in Manhattan with these attitudes.
Thorough article, although you suggest at one point that opposition in one section of Queens was motivated by racial animus, which was a little out of place in an otherwise straightforward piece. In my opinion and experience, people who like where they live, which is most of us, are motivated first and foremost by a desire that things don’t change.

Florida on a per capita basis will build the same number of houses in a year that this proposes to build in 15 years.
And yet people like Vickie Paladino think Florida is god's gift to man.
“tenant protection” is what exactly? Clearly some kind of euphemism, but maybe a local NYC one?
Money allocated to help tenants in disputes with landlords and some other stuff, like rental arrears for public housing residents.
Thanks. That is a LOT of money though. And it basically all goes to… lawyers??
Some of it. Several hundred millions but over 15 years
