Who Does Justin Brannan Represent When He Was Pushing 421a on Twitter?
We all lived in Brooklyn for years with the rent being too high, while 421a existed and developers and politicians had a good time!
We have all seen Councilman Brannan put ZERO dollars towards housing year after year! Now Brannan wants to be a housing expert for NYC?!
In 2021, one NYC councilmember who was in office for three months told us that he put 4.5 million towards housing. (See comments here) Oswald Feliz should be talking about housing – not Brannan!
Everyone in Bay Ridge is aware that the homeless are left – on the street, in the park or on the trains. The politicians here don’t care! Why haven’t the apartments that have been set aside for the homeless been given to them? (Source)
In November 2023, ABC found that 4,800 apartments were not rented because the building owners weren’t able to do repairs. (Source and ABC News)
The Daily News also wrote about fifteen thousand apartments being available in NYC. (Source)
We should see Councilman Brannan speaking up for the area he represents – Bay Ridge and Coney Island, not all of NYC.
For Bay Ridge, Brannan should have told Senator Andrew Gounardes to do his job and change the property taxes at the start of the legislative year. How many people have left Bay Ridge because they haven’t been able to afford living here?
For five years, Gounardes has been too lazy and unwilling to do the work to get a property tax bill passed. Gounardes and Brannan want to hold the office, but they don’t want to do the real work to help anyone.
Tweeting and supporting 421a for developers is easy!
