From time to time, a piece of vocabulary comes along which the public didn't realize it was missing and soon enough can't live without. "Commie Corridor"-to designate the precincts of Queens and north Brooklyn overrun with youthful lefties-is one such phrase, a zippy addition to the city's lexicon of pop anthropology. Its sudden currency was the handiwork of Michael Lange, a twenty-five-year-old political analyst and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, who used it in his Substack newsletter back in June, just as early voting in the Democratic primary began. Zohran Mamdani, Lange wrote, might just be able to win, if he could inspire staggering turnout in this "young and hungry" base; when Mamdani pulled it off, the New York Times published Lange's analysis, bringing the coinage to a wider readership.

Where I live in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, we saw this cycle where landlords and bankers and policymakers had driven up the value of real estate using speculative financial capital, the housing market crashed, and then the solution to that was just a different private equity firm coming in and owning the buildings," Weaver, 37, said in a Dissent magazine interview published last winter. "This cycle fueled waves of gentrification in Crown Heights.

According to , FIVE Holdings, the Dubai-based parent company of Pacha, is set to buy Avant Gardner and its flagship property, the Brooklyn Mirage, from Axar Capital Management.

"Too often, daylighting is something that is delivered after someone is killed," he said in response to a question from Alex Duncan of the Reddit sub r/micromobilityNYC, and referencing the killing of Dolma Naadhun at Newtown Road and 45th Street in Astoria by a driver who couldn't see the tot. "We cannot allow for the story that happened to Dolma to happen again and again in order to see daylighting on an intersection," the mayor continued.

Officially known as Congregation Chaim Albert but known colloquially as the Kingsbrook Synagogue, the synagogue was part of a Jewish hospital founded in 1928 in response to antisemitism in nearby hospitals and to meet the needs of local Jewish patients.
