during her almost-two terms on the New York City Council, aggressively brokering the upzoning that encourages real estate developers to tear down low-rise, historic, lower-rent buildings to build more and more and ever-larger luxury apartment towers. Each upzoning scam is sold to the public as a win for affordable housing when they are in actuality anything but.
Now, irony of ironies, she has left the public sector before completing her second and final term and become head of of the New York State Association for Affordable Housing.
Let’s hope she actually supports affordable housing as she refused to do during her developer-funded City Council career.
