• A rent freeze sounds like good news. But if rents in New York City are still hitting all-time highs at the same time, something isn't adding up. The fact of the matter is that we don't have enough housing. And until we build more, the demand for housing (and rent) will only continue to increase.

• The teachers grading papers at night. The nurses finishing a double shift. The firefighters running into burning buildings. These people serve this city every day - but many of them can no longer afford to live in it. Working families are being priced out of NYC, and are being pushed to Rockland County, Suffolk County, and Central New Jersey just to find housing they can afford. That means hours of commuting on top of already-demanding jobs. That's not sustainable - for them, or for the city.

• Colon Plaza at 55 E. 115th St. was built 15 years ago in partnership with the 116th Street Block Association, and from day one, the commitment was clear: 50% of residents would come from El Barrio itself. We wanted to provide condominium-style housing for the teachers, bus drivers, and workers who keep this city running — without displacing a single family. That's what development with intention looks like. That's the standard we hold ourselves to. #AffordableHousing #ElBarrio #EastHarlem #C

• @zohrankmamdani's plan gets this right! Denser zoning in the right places can unlock affordable housing at a scale we haven't seen in decades. We can preserve what we love about this city and still build what it needs. #AffordableHousing #NYCHousing #HousingPolicy #UrbanDevelopment #ZohranMamdani

• Here's the real issue: NYCHA was built in the 1940s and 50s with no long-term plan for what maintenance would cost decades later. Then, when federal funding started drying up, there was no private capital allowed to fill the gap. NYCHA isn't proof that public housing doesn't work. It's proof of what happens when you build something without planning to maintain it — and then walk away from the bill. What do you think it would actually take to fix it?

• New York City has affordable housing models that actually work — the question is how do we scale them. The HDFC (Housing Development Fund Corporation) model is one of the most powerful tools we have. Garden Court on St. Nicholas and 119th is proof. Our firm took a failed, city-owned building in the late '80s and turned it into a thriving co-op with over 100 shareholders who have the benefits of affordable homeownership and a real say in how their building is run. That's what social housing sho
