This morning, I became the first New York City Mayor to visit Housing Court. And what I saw will stay with me for a long time. Families on the brink of losing their homes. Tenants navigating unsafe conditions, harassment, and uncertainty, searching for justice in an overwhelming system. Small property owners trying to keep up with their mortgage payments. I met with Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas, New York City Administrative Judge Shahabuddeen Ally, and other members of the bench, and I walked through Resolution, HP, and NYCHA Parts. I spoke with people in intake, with legal service providers, and with the advocates who show up every day to stand beside New Yorkers who need support. Housing court is where the promises we make about dignity, stability and public excellence are tested in real time. In the months ahead, my team will work closely with the Chief Judge and the Chief Administrative Judge to confront the concerns we heard - directly from judges, tenants, landlords, legal service providers, and advocates.

That's great to hear. And probably I shouldn't have been so grouchy about them. I understand there are some great people there & they might in many cases be dealing with less awesome people above them.

Anyway, your piece is terrific!

This @galvinalmanza.bsky.social piece is brilliant. While highlighting criminal justice implications, it reminds me of @hoffprof.bsky.social 's work on the link between transportation and eviction.

This is a fantastic article! Thank you for it!!

Tbh it is the only good @nytimes.com piece I've seen on any @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social initiative.

So glad you gave them a piece so good they couldn't refuse.

I didn't mean to insult you. No need to lecture me.

True but for those readers who may not have the context, describing him as sleeping with people could obscure the depth of the problem

More than sleeping with people, right? I believe multiple assault accusations have been reported

There are a lot of good lists out there. This is from someone who I trust to know who is who on the ground and how to best get resources where they need to go.

It's even better than expected but don't skip Jumaane's either.

If I were a student, I would love it.

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

So true!

The Business of Arson: An Interview with Bench Ansfield An examination of the wave of landlord perpetrated arson in the Bronx during the 1970s presents an untold story of racial capitalism and financialization. Andrew Anastasi interviews Bench Ansfield…

Today, Andrew Anastasi and @benchansfield.bsky.social discuss the wave of landlord-perpetrated arson during the 1970s, how residents organized to stop it, and what this tells us about the ongoing interplay between property and racial capitalism.

Props to @haelinchoi.bsky.social and the team from @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social and the 1000+ people (incl. Rosa & me) who turned out yesterday for training/organizing events in Brooklyn & the Bronx to protect our neighbors and get Trump’s ICE out of NYC.
