The ADU for You program is a great example of cities removing barriers instead of just throwing money at housing. Pre-approved building plans that skip lengthy DOB review + financing for homeowners = more homes cc @citylimitsnews.bsky.social

Good news: Mamdani used a new land-use review process called ELURP on its first available day. It cuts affordable housing review from 7 months to 3. Every month counts when we are trying to build 200k more units in 10 years! themamdanimeter.beehiiv.com/p/best-housi...

First broken promise watch: Mamdani pledged 0.5% of the city budget to libraries. The preliminary FY2027 budget has 0.4%, LESS than Adams gave last year. Budget isn't final till June. When Adams cut libraries in 2023, Sunday hours vanished within weeks. themamdanimeter.beehiiv.com/p/best-housi...
