CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Op-eds by stakeholders, policymakers and other citizens of New York. Want to submit an opinion piece? Email: Jeanmarie@citylimits.org.

Opinion: Segregated K-12 Schools are a Threat to Democracy

Jeremy Chan-Kraushar | December 5, 2022

“Democracies cannot function when entire groups of people are insulated from the realities of those they don’t understand. By reframing the issue as an urgent threat to democracy, we may become more motivated to change.”

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: How NY Democrats and Gov. Hochul Can Win Back Young Voters

Robb Friedlander | November 30, 2022

“While record youth turnout across the country enabled Democrats to hold the U.S. Senate and make gains in swing districts barely won by President Joe Biden, the New York vote looked more like the pre-Trump era of apathy and disengagement.” 

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: One Easy Fix Could Help Thousands of Recent Venezuelan Immigrants

Melissa Chua | November 28, 2022

“Simply by re-designating Temporary Protected Status to include recent arrivals from Venezuela, thousands of asylum seekers would have their legal posture drastically altered, for the better. The Department of Homeland Security has the sole authority to make this change. It could happen with the flick of a pen.”

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: Do We Want to Solve Violence, or Crime?

Danielle Sered and Kira Shepherd | November 22, 2022

“For decades politicians have focused on reducing crime while communities end up with nothing that actually solves violence—and often with strategies that make it worse.”

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: More Housing is the Progressive Choice

James Lloyd | November 21, 2022

“More housing at any income level lowers nearby rents. We progressives should therefore be fighting for new housing with every bone in our bodies.”

Protestors hold signs calling for the closure of Rikers Island jails
Opinion

Opinion: Rikers Crisis Demands Federal Receiver

Gabriel Sayegh | November 17, 2022

“A hearing in federal court could decide whether or not the city, under Mayor Eric Adams, will maintain control of Rikers. The feds should take over.”

Opinion: Teaching Kids About Domestic Violence Earlier Will Make NY Safer

Luis Matos | November 16, 2022

“Reaching children at much earlier ages to teach them about healthy relationships and how to identify abuse will provide them with the foundations to safety and resiliency and provide our youngest New Yorkers with an additional layer of protection against harm.”

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: E-bike Battery Regulation Isn’t Anti-immigrant or Anti-worker. It’s Common Sense. 

Baruch Herzfeld | November 14, 2022

“We aren’t helping delivery workers by forcing them to charge unsafe, unregulated equipment in their apartments. We need more regulation to protect these hard-working riders and their neighbors, not less.”

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: An All-of-the-Above to Fix NYC’s Housing Crisis

Valerie White | November 10, 2022

“We’re long past the point where we can squabble over one solution versus another. We have so many tools at our disposal—far too many of them sitting around gathering dust. It’s time we treat the housing problem like the crisis it is.”

2022 election

Opinion: If We Don’t Show Up to Vote, We Won’t Be Heard

Carmen Perez-Jordan | November 3, 2022

“We must encourage our communities to vote, knowing politicians can make life-altering decisions that impact issues important for all Americans, specifically in our work for racial equity.”
