Opinion

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: Helping Students Experiencing Homelessness Head Back to School Without Stigma

Myung Lee | August 15, 2022

“Of all the challenges a child experiencing homelessness may be faced with, a basic lack of supplies to complete schoolwork should not be one of them, especially since education can be a critical tool to breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty.”

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS
Protest signs against Amazon at a NYC Council hearing in 2019

Opinion: Gov. Hochul, Hold Amazon Accountable this Prime Day

Maritza Silva-Farrell | July 13, 2022

“As Amazon gets richer, workers are waiting for protections they needed yesterday, and the state has an important role to play. Gov. Hochul can demonstrate her leadership and prove that she will fight for working people. The first step is signing the Warehouse Worker Protection Act.”

Education

Opinion: Summer is a Chance to Reinvest in NYC Students

Carmen Fariña | July 1, 2022

“It’s known as the summer slide, or summer setback. That period of just over two months when our children are out of school, when learning diminishes—and often disproportionately impacts youth from historically disadvantaged groups. This summer is a chance to reverse that trend.”

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: Make New York City a National Leader in Employment for People With Disabilities

Melissa Lent and Eli Dvorkin | April 5, 2022

“In 2021, nearly 17 percent of all working-age New Yorkers with a disability were unemployed—more than double the pre-pandemic level. These disproportionately steep economic losses compound with structural inequities that led to pandemic-level unemployment for New Yorkers with disabilities long before COVID hit.”

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: NYS Education Department Abandons its Mission with Private School Regulations

David Bloomfield | March 18, 2022

‘The regulations, billed as solving the problem, only institutionalize it and gut the statutory requirement of equivalent instruction. As currently proposed, the regulations need to be voted down when the State Board of Regents meets to approve them in the fall.’

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: Demanding Greater Accountability in Wake of Fatal Bronx Fire

Siya Hegde | February 11, 2022

‘The incident has sparked a national conversation about housing injustice and raised a critical question that we must all ask ourselves: Why must it take a high death toll to acknowledge the dangers of substandard housing?’

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: How Eric Adams’ Administration Can Prioritize Climate Change and Protect NYC

Julie Tighe | January 26, 2022

‘Mayor Adams can make New York City a global leader in the fight against climate change and transition to a green economy. His administration must advance environmental priorities that will make our city more sustainable, resilient, and equitable for future generations.’

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: NYC Deserves Better Than a Mayor Who Supports Solitary Confinement

Ashish Prashar | January 10, 2022

‘Our new mayor should know solitary confinement does not curtail violence in jails, decarceration does. The people of New York deserve so much better than a limited imagination of this former cop who knows people will die from this policy.’

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: At Midnight, a New Year Begins—and History Gets its Hands on Bill de Blasio

Jarrett Murphy | December 31, 2021

“From the vantage point of future decades, his many flaws and huge mistakes—all so apparent to us who have watched his day-to-day mayoralty—are unlikely to be as visible as the major decisions he made which, in many cases, were pretty sound and made the city a better place.”

Housing and Homelessness

Opinion: Gowanus Rezoning Shows How We Can Plan Together For a Fairer NYC

Michelle de la Uz and Brad Lander | November 29, 2021

‘This plan did not start in a developer’s office, or at City Hall. It started through community planning, a series of public conversations that generated core principles for what inclusive, sustainable growth in the neighborhood would require.’
