He does admit that Jersey City builds a lot more than NYC and wants to fix that (he cites 7:4 levels, is that true?)! So that's something. But pretty light on details for his bug NYCHA and grocery store stuff. Lol Joe brings up the lack of hotel building and Mamdani dodges - ThreadSky

That's true for his platform too. He dodges pretty hard on his policy on housing.

Yeah I don't know. It's neat to have a walking Odd Lots Socialist running for mayor but I can't say I come away super pumped that he knows what he's actually going to do...
Like what is the fix for NYCHA? I don't know

I wouldn’t call him an Odd Lots Socialist, more a classic DSA socialist with some Odd Lots sympathies.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social you've definitely read @stephenjacobsmith.com on single stairs and elevator reform. Have you seen his stuff on Hunts Point?

If you looked at 2005-2023 housing stock growth in city limits, Jersey city is far and away the champ. To the extent I’m skeptical of growth advocates who don’t explicitly cite it

seandomnick.bsky.social•8 days ago

Jersey city doesn’t have the most absolute growth, but for dense cities managing to get a ton denser, it’s really the best

In 2023, Houston had 1644 housing units per square mile. Between 2005 and 2023, jersey city added close to 3k units per square mile
