I hope you will read the op-ed I wrote along with Bishop Mitchell G. Taylor about Long Island City's housing divide and why Queensbridge residents deserve better. My favorite line sums it up: "This pattern reflects a systemic inequity: decision-makers site shelters in marginalized communities like Queensbridge to avoid opposition from more affluent areas that have the resources and political influence to block such developments." https://lnkd.in/dyES_sAU
