We have an estimated 800,000 home shortage to tackle over the next decade from generations of inaction.
We do not tell enough stories about what 800,000 more homes means to New Yorkers in every part of our state. To finally have a place to call home.
But sometimes a picture is worth 1,000 words:

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

What happens when every societal ill or challenge is blamed on one vulnerable group of people ?
This administration is too afraid to lift a single finger to help the American people. In fact they’ve done irreparable harm to millions of Americans already.
All they offer is the same big lie of old

Just reading this paragraph will help you understand why the housing crisis is a crisis.

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.
To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.
