Deputy Mayor Slush Fund Queen Christine C. Quinn and king Michael R. Bloomberg today announced a $20 million commitment to fund a pilot program that will turn unsold condominiums, market-rate rental buildings and stalled construction sites into affordable housing opportunities for moderate and middle-income families.

First, that the city will overpay for the condos, making this into a developer bailout program.

And second, that too much scarce affordable housing funding will be diverted from the low-income people who need assistance most to higher-income people who can afford the subisidized condos. 

Per this video below again David Weprin states this bill intro 653 that he is sponsoring will increase protection for the carriage horses but it will  decrease. Most of the groups, ASPCA, HSUS, NYC Bar, Humane League of Voters, etc has testified that this bill will decrease oversight and basically is a death warrant for these horse.
