Mayor Eric Adams unveiled his plan to address the city’s housing and homelessness crises Tuesday but refused to commit to any clear metrics for the number of affordable housing units that should be built or the number of homeless New Yorkers that should be housed under the plan.
While presenting his ‘Housing Our Neighbors: A Blueprint for Housing and Homelessness” plan on the rooftop of 90 Sands St. – a former Jehovah’s Witnesses owned hotel that was acquired by the city and converted into 400 units of supportive housing – Hizzoner said the plan doesn’t have any target number for how many supportive and affordable housing units his administration aims to build and he wouldn’t take any questions on the subject.
“It’s often asked, ‘how many units
you gonna build? How many units you gonna build? how many units you
gonna build?’” the mayor said. “If that is one of the on topic questions
you are going to ask me, don’t, because I’m not answering that. How
many people we gonna put in housing? We need to put people in housing.
That’s the focus that we are on."
When asked by a reporter about what Adams would consider a successful number of people to be placed in supportive housing under the plan, he again refused to give a specific number and only said “as many as possible to get into housing.”
“If you say 30,000 and you have 50,000 that are homeless, then what kind of success is that?” I got 20,000 people that are not,” Adams said. “So, I’m not at this magic number. I’m going to get as many people in my four years to get into housing as possible. And I’m not playing these numbers of ‘what is this number?’ No. Everyone needs to find housing. Those are my goals.”
Adams was joined by the city’s Chief Housing Officer Jessica Katz, city Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Commissioner Adolfo Carrión Jr., New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Chair and CEO Gregory Russ and Shams DaBaron – a homeless advocate known as the “Homeless Hero.”

Guess he didn't get the memo.
Memo to Mayor Addams, DemoRats may believe identity is fluid, however, there is no mistaking your agenda which is clearly Socialist.
Is Swagger is a bad liar or just a dummy for the machine ?

Another reason to leave New York.
He won't tell the sheeple because the demoRats want everyone to be stupid so they are easier to manipulate.
@“ Another reason to leave New York.”
Bye!

And I always thought that dumbing down the news was a Fox News creation for the Putanists.
Is Swagger taking orders from the corporate monsters ?
UNLIKE NYC IN AMERICA NOT MANY CITIZENS LIKE MARXISTS, CRIMINALS, HATERS, GROOMERS.
As a Hispanic, I am voting Red this election. Don’t worry Boe Hiden, I’m still Hispanic even if I don’t vote for you.
How do you think the so-called 'housing crisis' will be fixed ?
ANSWER : ONLY CAPITALISM CAN SOLVE THE HOUSING CRISIS !
If the government gets out of the way more homes will be built.
Decent' income and living conditions as a universal basic right that must be guaranteed by redistribution cannot and will not be sustained.

If you support this you probably have no skin in the game and live off government benefits.
Oligarchs will be happy and prosper whatever the outcome.
Oligarchs run game among the DemOrats and Rinos.
Oligarchs win regardless of party.
Oligarchs have been in firing racial unrest to keep us distracted so we don't see the vast, vast wealth, power and control they've accumulated over the past 15-20 years.Oligarchs will be happy and prosper whatever the outcome.

Firm supporter of the BidetTurd Bot you are.
ALAS, SWAG is a FECKLESS FRAUD who will annhilate New York City as he remains sycophantically, relentlessly beholden to his corporate masters of anarchy. When is the power of We, the People going to be restored, reclaimed and redirected back to where all power officially belongs? Or is the Constitution null and void? Start punching back, 'SHEEPLE'——TWICE HAS HARD!——or continue with your complicity to be duped, bilked, scammed and damned IN PERPETUITY!

Is this some new language for Q-Anon drones?
There's a reason they took economics out of school.
They didn't want students coming to the conclusion that the government was running a grift.
