When @NYCHousing’s plan comes out, let’s see if it says for once that #HousingSegregation is BAD & that all our neighbs belong to all of us (or sticks w faux-progressive, retrograde “it’s nuanced,” “it’s complicated,” etc.) 1/4

Let’s also see if plan breaks any new ground by leveraging City’s ability maximize value by acting as acquirer & developer of mixed-income development (including mixing market-rate condo w affordable rental & thus grabbing ALL the considerable cross-subsidy).

@AdolfoCarrion 2/4

Or if it breaks new ground by imagining a a #CitywideHousingTrust (as opposed to community housing trusts that risk perpetuating segregation & failing to heed citywide needs). @alexschief @JerusalemDemsas @TweetBenMax 3/4

PS - @RachelFeinstein & @CSSNYorg’s Samuel Stein clearly right: funding proposed isn’t nearly enough to meet the need. [@brendancheney also correct to insist that NYC is not magically immune to rising interest rates or higher construction costs — weird that’s in dispute.] 4/4
