I believe that every building in NYC, including affordable housing apartments, should be powered by solar energy.
#JoyfulHousing
#JoyfulHousing should include LOTS of green space. And maintenence is done by union labor.
#JoyfulHousing isn't just affordable, it brings peace to the mind. If a society makes you choose between whether you are going to eat and whether you are going to have a home, there is no home that can be joyful in that society.
#CityofYesExcerpt: "The Universal Affordability Preference allows buildings in medium and high-density districts to add at least 20% more housing, if the additional homes are income-restricted and affordable to households earning 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI)"

Reverse image results are inconclusive, but I believe this was first posted by @wanderingfolk on Instagram. It is a picture bursting with color. Many bright potted flowers line a colorful ceramic walkway with arches leading out to a garden. The walls have bright flowers and leaves painted all over them.
#NYC doesn't have to default to cement, glass, and sharp angles. Colorful environments w/curved forms and vibrant plants are known to help boost mood and contribute to overall happiness. #JoyfulHousing should be modeled w/ the intention of making ppl feel good. Even if only passersby.
#MentalHealth
A screenshot of Twitter user "@middle_class_us" reads: The fastest growing homeless demographic is seniors. Not teenagers. Not addicts. People who worked low wage jobs, paid taxes, and lost it all to one illness and a rent increase.
It is my belief that #JoyfulHousing is housing that you don't have to worry will be pulled out from under you. Especially, as you get older.
#MentalHealth
#HomelessCrisis
I never felt worse about myself, my environment, my life, and my mental health than when I lived with family or roommates.
Private space is important to #MentalHealth and #JoyfulHousing
It is my belief that a standard housing expectation should be that the average adult will live by themselves; not with a partner or a roommate. Many of us are on our own and having a private space away from others is important as an adult.

#JoyfulHousing can only exist where communities feel safe and free. The extrajudicial violence being carried out by #ICE is in direct opposition to our community values.
Contact #NYC mayor Eric Adams here: www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic... to let him know you don't want ICE presence in our communities.
Joyful housing should not only be kind to our pockets; it should be kind to our bodies. We continue to value sharp, harsh angles and sleek surfaces, but our bodies crave forms that mimic nature: curves, earth tones, and domes are the future.

Joyful housing should include abundant access to nature. Even in heavily urban settings.
Fruiting trees, walkways lined with shrubbery and flowers, and gardening space close to living quarters are essential for a healthy populace.
