On the 50th anniversary of Jaws, remember that you are statistically more likely to be bitten by a New York City councilmember or a guy heckling tenant rights activists and for-hire vehicle drivers than by a shark
The guy who bit a Zohran Mamdani staffer earlier this month is now banging a cowbell and heckling Uber drivers protesting outside City Hall.
it's true @amNYOpinion endorsed Cuomo for mayor, but... this "front page" is an advertisement paid for by the Cuomo PAC Fix the City
Mayor Adams calls it 'revolutionary.' Cuomo & other candidates say they back the plan Now the 1st phase of a total redevelopment of NYCHA's Fulton/Elliott-Chelsea Houses is underway But that doesn't mean seniors facing imminent displacement are on board gothamist.com/news/as-nyc-mo…
*except Andrew Cuomo
thanks to @Gothamist @brigidbergin, we have New York City early voting data by assembly district Manhattan and Upscale/Gentrified Brooklyn is dominating
Also, as I wrote in "In Brooklyn Marine Terminal Discussion, #AtlanticYards is the Elephant in the Room," there are several megaprojects (Hudson Yards, Coney Island, 80 Flatbush/Alloy Block) that have not met their timetables. normanoder.substack.com/p/in-brooklyn-… 2/2

Gotta make room for Sneako
Mayor Eric Adams just barred @C_Sommerfeldt from coming back into the off-topic series. "Make sure security knows, he's not allowed back into this room," Adams says. Chris is rarely called on (on purpose) during off-topic.
The battle for Southeast Queens mirrors a larger question at the center of the Dem primary: Will it be determined by the voters who typically head to the polls…or will Mamdani succeed in activating new voters? gothamist.com/news/why-the-n… via @gothamist

Mark Levine's comptroller campaign has a GOTV rally outside the proposed shelter site in Bensonhurst tonight, hosted by Susan Zhuang. Levine, who's made a name for himself as a YIMBY, publicly opposes the shelter in this one, highly politically charged, instance.
Key point in Lander quote: 4 years ago the top 2 alternatives to Eric Adams didn’t cross endorse, this move is to avoid that “mistake” again
