Better, faster service = safer service

Building a political home for New Yorkers who believe our city and state's superpowers are growth and change.
- 💯💯💯 Obama nails it: Blue cities and states are punishing working people by failing to build enough homes. It doesn't matter what we say about housing being a human right, refugees being welcome, or the city being a safe haven—without affordability, our promises are empty.Obama weighs in on Abundance:
- Great to see Zohran incorporating abundance language and policy into his message. We must unleash the public *and* private sector to provide everything we need—and to break down procedural barriers blocking us. Abundance ideas aren’t centrist or leftist—all are welcome to them!
- We dragged congestion pricing over the finish line after decades of struggle and, what do you know? It’s working. Let’s hope New York leaders learn a lesson about the value of big, bold action—even when the usual suspects kick and scream about change.
- It’s time for the 34th St. busway. Glad to see campaigning that centers bus speeds and service quality!The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets. So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?00:00
- If you find this statement odious, remember: the same attitude gets invoked in NYC. Speakers at hearings use their longevity to claim superiority when opposing change. Elected officials denigrate newcomers. New York is about freedom and opportunity—and it’s for everyone.Replying to @DrewPavlouI think if your family has hundreds of years of history in America you are frankly more American than somebody who migrated to America in 2015.
- We agree with @mattyglesias: it's time @zellnor4ny gets a serious look from New Yorkers who want a mayor serious about ending the housing affordability crisis. Zellnor has the vision and chutzpah needed to pursue housing abundance—just one reason he has our support.
- Growing crowd here at 26 Federal Plaza as we demand @bradlander be released after his arrest by masked ICE agents. Grateful for comments from @ZohranKMamdani@tiffany_caban@JumaaneWilliams
- Welcome to the abundance movement!
- “San Francisco and New York weren’t unique—they were just early. Eventually, no matter where you are, the forces of NIMBYism catch up to you.” The slowdown in sunbelt growth is more evidence for how NIMBYs weaponize regulations to block new neighbors.
- Rep. Nadler has spent a lifetime fighting for democracy, equality, and opportunity. He’s also a member of the YIMBY caucus, a fierce defender of congestion pricing, and a champion of offshore wind. We look forward to a new generation of continued abundance leadership for NYC.EXCLUSIVE: Rep Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who has been one of Congress’s leading liberal voices for three decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party. That + more news here >> nytimes.com/2025/09/01/nyr…
- We look forward to statements from council members who have demonstrated courage and clarity on addressing the housing affordability crisis. In the meantime, we thank them for foregoing signing onto this letter. @ebottcher@KeithPowersNYC@ShaunAbreu@PiSanchezNYC@OsseChiThe Charter Commission’s Final Report significantly weakens the City Council’s role in land use decisions. This shift toward executive control undermines democratic oversight and meaningful public engagement. I stand with my colleagues who are fighting back. Our statement below:
- For years, Community Boards have been run by people opposed to change and progress—especially on housing. That's driven our housing shortage, skyrocketing rents, and record homelessness. Mark and Shaun are ensuring CBs reflect the needs of everyone they serve—that's leadership.
