Adrienne Adams: “It is shameful that they are trying to block housing for New Yorkers.”

The language that voters will see on Nov. 4 on their ballot to describe these proposals actually hides their true impact.

We are prepared to defend against violations of the law, but this announcement only deepens the concern that the mayor is prioritizing the interests of the Trump Administration over those of New Yorkers.

Our neighborhoods will get less truly affordable housing, less investment, and will be vulnerable to more unwelcome, unwanted gentrification.

It’s not about housing.
