The Public Record
When someone stands up and says, ‘I will lead this city by making it more affordable and here are my plans, real plans, plans to deliver on child care, plans to deliver on housing, plans to deliver; we’re going to experiment, we’re going to try things on groceries,’ that is the democratic message.
the situation with more than $327 million pledged for the Pike project that has now been pulled back by the feds is bad.

Cost of groceries are up, cost of housing is up, cost of health care is up. And where is Donald Trump?
New York City is the place to start the conversation for Democrats on how affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be a Democrat, and that delivering on it in meaningful, tangible ways that will touch working families is why we’re here.
This is particularly concerning given that more than half of parents ‘plan to sacrifice necessities, such as groceries,’ because of rising prices for back-to-school shopping.
Higher prices on athletic footwear could lead to further economic hardship for parents.
