------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
The economy is always an issue in local races, but in 2021 it is especially critical after the devastation wrought by COVID-19--and amid deep questions about whether the city's economy will ever look as it did pre-pandemic. But is "the economy" just about jobs and taxes? What are the policy tools city officials can use to affect it? And what should candidates be saying about their own economic plans?

Opinions on Policy and Politics
Opinion: City’s Family Enrichment Centers, Crucial Amidst Pandemic, Need Greater Support ([link removed])
‘Primary prevention—working with families further upstream to avoid child safety issues altogether—represents the future of child welfare services, but thus far the city is going it alone, with no financial support from the state or federal governments.’
Opinion: Street Safety, Protected Bike Lanes Must Be Part of New York’s COVID Recovery ([link removed])
‘With vaccine distribution ramping up…and the state preparing to help employers bring workers back into the office, it’s safe to say biking will be the habit of even more New Yorkers when they commute. We need the infrastructure to match the demand.’
Opinion: Homeless People are Worthy of Housing — It’s Time to Stop the Stigma ([link removed])
‘Stigmatizing and criminalizing homeless people is just another tool the real estate industry uses to maintain status quo and maximize their bottom lines. The stigmatization must stop — we need to end this prejudice and get honest about who is homeless and why.’
