5th Avenue should connect—not clog!
The 2021 DOT plan for Fifth Avenue had broad community support: 13,000+ signatures, local boards, and elected officials.

Running red lights isn’t “just how NYC works.” It’s deadly.
101 New Yorkers were killed by red-light runners in just three years. Speed limiters, red-light cameras, and fair enforcement are common sense and will make our streets safe for everyone.

This kind of infrastructure investment will make our city safer, support delivery workers, and modernize our streets.

Long lines, endless forms, bureaucratic hoops—if Thanksgiving worked like NYC’s service systems, hardly anyone would get fed.
In today’s Substack, we dig into why basic supports are so hard to access and how prioritizing efficiency (rather than risk-aversion) can change that!

NYC’s subways are decades behind the rest of the world. Legally requiring two-person crews is needlessly costly in a moment when we need to invest in expanded and improved service.
@governor.ny.gov veto this misguided bill. Let’s move NYC’s subways forward—not back in time.

Housing affordability will be the key to electing the next president, and housing abundance is how they can deliver.
CAP’s new plan is clear: more homes, fewer barriers, and real accountability for places that block growth.

This alliance is no surprise to us—it’s the abundance coalition.
We know abundance isn’t a point on the left-right spectrum: it’s a different axis.
New Yorkers who believe in growth and change won congestion pricing, and we’ll keep winning on housing, transit, energy, and more.

Penn Station’s eternal stagnation is a case study in bureaucratic gridlock.
A new vision for the beating heart of our regional transit is critical—but we must also address the underlying structural issues that have got us here, or riders will continue to suffer.

There’s no good reason to require two-person train crews forever, while other cities move to single-conductor or fully automated running.
The MTA has already invested in communications-based train control—let’s not waste that money just to stay stuck in the past.

Preserving every single free parking spot, or enjoying a city not overwhelmed by trash?
The Council chose correctly—containerization is here to stay. Next, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social says he’ll take it even further. That’s how we create a modern city built for the people (not the rats!).

Transportation costs are the second largest burden on American family budgets (17%), after housing (33%)!
To address the affordability crisis, we must create cities with abundant housing of all types (subsidized, social, coop, market rate) and make walking, biking, and taking transit convenient.
