@elphntinthroom @jlef423 This might come as a shock to you BUT we pay taxes too. We also pay rent. YOU don’t house us. We house us.

A tenant-led organization in NYC fighting to preserve Section 9 public housing in the US, the only deeply affordable housing option that remains.

@SaveSection9 @jlef423 It’s not my and other taxpayer’s responsibility cause they WANT retire somewhere they cannot afford.

One of the many reasons we have a housing crisis: NIMBYs work hard to slow + block dev every step of the way. Thousands of NYers are suffering because of a dedicated group of privileged NIMBYs have worked to misinform a group of public housing tenants. crainsnewyork.com/real-estate/co…

New Yorkers deserve a responsible path forward for their budget.
That means identifying savings rather than raising property taxes, and standing firmly against any cuts to critical services.

$1M split between 3 sites is an insult. @hakeemjeffries should be securing $2B for @NYCHA annually for #publichousing so our homes can be repaired instead roofs and cameras will be installed giving folks a false sense of security all while $1M is generated in rent PER campus

And Section 9 #publichousing won't benefit from #taxtherich another buffer against displacement of Black and Latino working class and poor New Yorkers.
Nantasha Williams@CMNantashaW
Sadly the mayor’s proposals aren’t to raise taxes SOLELY on wealthy landowners it affects all properties including the many working class Black NYers that live in my district, so I’m actually listening to MY constituents. However, I’ve always supported a mansion tax.

@NewsHour you skirted past the obvious @NYCMayor could rehab and expand #publichousing making the private sector irrelevant instead he’s supporting demolition and privatization of Section 9. Why?
PBS News@NewsHour
Just as the city can shut down unsanitary restaurants, the mayor has said, landlords that "repeatedly put New Yorkers at risk will not be allowed to operate in New York City — with no exceptions." In reality, the process is resource-intensive and legally fraught. to.pbs.org/3O2pyhW

Households in #publichousing can earn from 20% - 120% AMI. That’s long term stability tha the private market can’t match 🤦🏽♀️
Housing Is A Human Right™@HousingHumanRt
Homelessness among Los Angeles County students has surged. Like we wrote a few weeks ago, rent control protects young people against sky-high rents and homelessness. latimes.com/california/sto…

Let’s make subways and buses free for the New Yorkers who need it most.

Our tears go out to the family of 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore. She is the latest victim of disinvestment in #publichousing gangs have filled the gap left by community centers that used to provide services for our teens; are now private. We must invest in Sec9 holistically.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
A 7-month-old baby was shot and killed today in Brooklyn — an unthinkable loss. I’m grateful for the hospital staff who did everything they could and the NYPD for their ongoing work to find those responsible for this heinous murder. We cannot accept this violence as normal. Too many families have suffered this pain.

We also need to be asking what #taxtherich funds Section 9 #publichousing isn’t a beneficiary but @NYCMayor supports its demolition why not rehab +expand it to address the affordability crisis?
Nantasha Williams@CMNantashaW
If your entire budget analysis is “tax the rich,” you may not actually understand the budget. That’s exactly why we need a more transparent process and a more informed public debate. I’ve always supported progressive taxation btw, but that can’t be the only thing we discuss.

Yesterday, on the heels the Council's proposal to fund free transit for low-income riders, we canvassed in every corner of the city to bring even more riders into the ongoing fight to expand Fair Fares eligibility to those earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level — giving over 2 million New Yorkers and their families to access free and half-price transit! 📺See @fox5ny's coverage of yesterday's Fair Fares Day of Action!

Well-intentioned people think YIMBYism is a good thing.
But judging by their actions, YIMBY leaders don't believe government should protect people against predatory corporations. thinkpol.ca/2026/03/26/yim…

@claireforny @ZohranKMamdani Do you support the rehabilitation and expansion of Section 9 #publichousing

@elphntinthroom @jlef423 It’s not entitlement. Folks work their entire lives for NYC and want to retire where they built their lives and families.
English
@SaveSection9 @jlef423 Why should the taxpayer fund someone’s retirement? If you cannot afford manhattan, move to NJ or Florida.
I don’t understand the sense of entitlement. Or why there is no shame for living off the system.

@ellen5181 @infopobn @elphntinthroom @jlef423 Both. They need mentorship and paths to contribute to society. Be it trades, entrepreneurship or higher education.
I managed disaster risk reduction and private public partnerships for the headquarters of the military in the Pacific. Also loved school. Wish I could go back. 🤦🏽♀️

@SaveSection9 @infopobn @elphntinthroom @jlef423 Is the goal to keep these kids/young adults busy so they make better choices or prepare them for work? Or both? What is your job that required 3 masters degrees or was that your choice because you liked school?
