"Just five days after his pick for D4 supervisor resigned, Mayor Daniel Lurie will appear before the Board of Supes Tuesday/18 for Question Time-and none of the eligible board members has put forward a question. That means the mayor can choose to address the board for five minutes-or, with a supermajority vote, the board can change the rules and allow an unscripted question."
"So there's no requirement at this point that the mayor discuss his bungled appointment of Beya Alcarez or say anything about what he plans to do to make sure his next choice has a longer tenure. But it would be odd, to say the least, if he simply ignored the issue. Then on Thursday/20, Lurie will visit D1 to talk about his Rich Family Zoning Plan, which has not been well received on the West Side of town."
"What he hasn't mentioned is that the reason the state is forcing cities to allow the demolition of existing housing, the construction of much denser housing, and the displacement of small businesses-with no money for or guarantee of any reasonable affordability-is the work of state Sen. Scott Wiener. Wiener is now running for Congress, and West Side voters will be critical in that campaign."
Mayor Daniel Lurie will appear before the Board of Supervisors for Question Time five days after his D4 supervisor pick resigned, with no eligible supervisors having submitted questions. The board could permit only a five-minute statement or, by supermajority, change rules to allow an unscripted question. Lurie will also visit D1 to present the Rich Family Zoning Plan, which has drawn West Side criticism. State mandates driven by legislation from Sen. Scott Wiener are forcing denser redevelopment and business displacement without guaranteed affordability. The zoning plan returns to committee after the city economist questioned its ability to produce more affordable housing.
