We’re gonna bug all the NYC mayoral candidates about housing. What should we ask?

More candidates are jumping in the 2025 race to challenge Mayor Eric Adams, who is facing federal corruption charges. City Limits will ask those running for their positions and plans on key housing issues—and we want to know what you want to know. bit.ly/48rgJnE



A heads up! @CityLimitsNews is active on Bluesky again, for those of you jumping ship on Musk & X (thanks @adampiontek for the reminder). You can follow our work there at: @citylimitsnews.bsky.social

NYCHA has been under federal "monitor" oversight since 2019. But what does that mean? What can the monitor do—or not do—and what does it mean for tenants? @tatyanacturner digs in: bit.ly/3YQDAEH


"With Trump back in the White House, New Yorkers will be up against plenty," writes Finance Chair—& potential comptroller candidate—Justin Brannan. "Our communities can’t afford another extended game of chicken" over major budget issues

"We must use every dollar of our $113B NYC budget as a brick in the wall against whatever fresh hell Trump tries to cook up next year," says @NYCCouncil Finance Chair @JustinBrannan "Once again, big, bold municipal governments will be on the front lines." bit.ly/3ZampQ9

The majority of New York City apartments have A/C—roughly 89%—But access is uneven across neighborhoods, dropping as low as 76% in some Bronx communities. And nearly 500,000 households across the city have A/C, but don’t use it due to costs. bit.ly/4hPCFgw

Also from his appearance on @PIX11News yesterday, @NYCMayor thinks renters pay a one-time fee of $800 in NYC in 2024 Not exactly — thecity.nyc/2024/11/12/bro…

Revisiting this 2022 story, when Lee Zeldin—just picked to run Trump's EPA—was running for gov "NY deserves a gov. who will not only acknowledge climate change but work aggressively to address it," one source said. "I'm not confident [he] would be that" bit.ly/4hIpluu

“Our lives were here,” said former New York City resident and veteran Ramond Curtis. “We absolutely would have stayed if we could have invested in our home in some way, even if it was a co-op, even if it was affordable rent options.” bit.ly/3XVxMuv

There are 218 resident associations across NYCHA's public housing system, buoyed by volunteers who push to compel repairs and address their neighbors' problems. Who are they, and why do they do this work? This is a first in series, by @tatyanacturner: bit.ly/3CjMovl


This is a new series that profiles the work of tenant and resident association leaders across NYC. If you’re a tenant leader interested in speaking with us about your role, or want to suggest someone we should talk to, email me! jeanmarie@citylimits.org

Meet Cynthia Tibbs, the tenant association president at NYCHA's WSUR Brownstones since 2019—an unpaid role, but still "a 24-hour job" "I do this because these are my neighbors," she said. "I want to live as comfortably as possible & get what’s due to us." bit.ly/3CjMovl

And now, a few words from our fearless leaders: hellgatenyc.com/ny-politicians…



Participation in the city's half-priced MetroCard program is still "staggeringly low" writes Ryan Vinh, researcher & grad student at @UPP_Hunter The eligibility threshold is also "prohibitive"—someone earning just over $18K a year still won't qualify bit.ly/4eiKGb2

Coming out of the election haze, there's still policy being shaped day-to-day in NYC. Read my story about some NYC marshals' failure to follow new state eviction notice procedures, the messy rollout, and subsequent finger pointing @CityLimitsNews citylimits.org/2024/11/04/in-…


ICYMI! With reporting by me, @dparramejia @tatyanacturner & @MariRebuaSimoes

With the results in from Tuesday's election, City Limits' reporters take a look at three key issues—immigration, housing and climate change—and what we know so far about the potential impact of Trump’s next term on New York. bit.ly/3YVmy9O



“I want to reassure people: they do not to need to self deport, they do not need to hide, go in the shadows, & that they can continue to use our city services,” said @MCastroMOIA, worried the election will fuel more fear & misinformation among immigrants. bit.ly/3YVmy9O


Read this @dparramejia's piece about the city's street vendors, who've seen a steep spike in tickets this year. He spent time with sellers along Roosevelt Ave, where the mayor and gov launched a recent enforcement crackdown “I’m not doing anything wrong, I just want to work.”

After this story was published, New York voters approved ballot Proposal Number 2. Street vendors fear it will mean increased enforcement against the largely immigrant vending sector, which is already seeing a steep increase in ticketing: bit.ly/4ebYkww
