Peter Sterne Why don’t any of the socialists ever live in NYCHA or nonprofit run housing? therealdeal.com/new-york/2024/…

Albany has a potential housing deal on the table, and everyone from tenants to landlord groups seems to hate it.

Read Rebecca C. Lewis for all the details on the proposed deal: cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/04…

It seems like Mayor Adams is trying to use the backlash against CUNY Law School's pro-Palestine commencement speaker to delegitimize CUNY's criticism of mayoral control of public schools.

Peter Sterne Yes, Ron Kim is on his flip flop flipping tour. Now, he's concerned about the effects of squatters on homeowners. 🤯 It's so hypocritical to his dsa comrades.🩴🩴🩴

Vote for YI ANDY CHEN 陈熠 for #40AD

This weekend, Shekar Krishnan published an op-ed calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. He is the 18th NY City Council member to call for a ceasefire.

I’ve updated the City & State NY list of NY elected officials calling for a ceasefire: cityandstateny.com/politics/2024/…

Nonprofit owns rent-stabilized buildings with goal of providing supportive housing, but ends up constantly fighting to evict(!) tenants and finally sells the buildings because it can’t raise rents(!) on tenants. therealdeal.com/new-york/2024/…

Under the state Legislature's proposed housing deal, landlords of currently vacant rent-stabilized units would be allowed to raise the monthly rent by up to $347 if they make make certain improvements to the apartment: cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/04…

Interesting. Wouldn't have expected this from Kim.

Peter Sterne I think he is losing. YI ANDY CHEN 陈熠 is running real hard going everywhere and making friends with everybody and has enough money, meanwhile Kim has largely been hidden

Intuit can absolutely go fuck themselves. (Unfortunately, I didn't qualify for the free IRS Direct File, but I'd encourage anyone who does to try it)

Is flickr down for anyone else? Now where will I get all my photos of elected officials attending random events?

If I were Joanna Coles, I would bring back Noah Shachtman to run the Daily Beast newsroom. puck.news/mark-thompson-…

And last week, Catalina Cruz, Esq. released a statement calling for an immediate ceasefire. She’s the 16th NY state legislator to call for a ceasefire. cityandstateny.com/politics/2024/…

Most Dems probably don't feel this way, but the socialists and progressives who say housing is a human right that should be decommodified obviously do think that landlords shouldn't make money off of housing. They're not exactly shy about saying it!

Peter Sterne Jeff Coltin This city is being run by an anti-Palestinian club promoter!

This is just objectively wrong! NYC only got a partial eclipse, which is still kind of cool but nowhere near as breathtaking as the total eclipse that many other cities witnessed.

This story is just…I don’t even know what to say. At the point when you’re fighting to evict the people you’re supposedly trying to provide housing to, surely you’ve lost the plot, right?

Peter Sterne I will stay anonymous. But I just don’t think there’s anyone willing to go through everything to piece this together. Some have, before. But I will never be a celebrity. This is not me. I will walk away.
