Adams said the cylinders of local and state governments have been 'misaligned for a long time' but the current agencies are working towards improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers with their new plan.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York Governor Kathy Hochul shared the stage at the annual Better New York Breakfast to announce their multi-agency plan to create a 'new' New York.
Adams said the cylinders of local and state governments have been "misaligned for a long time" but the current agencies are working towards improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers with their new plan. "We created jobs though at three times the rate that we created housing to put people in who work those jobs," Hochul said. "That's the disconnect. They want to be here. They want to raise their kids in the most exciting place on earth, but if you can't find a house, can't get the childcare, it just doesn't work."
"Stop dividing our city," he said. "To continue to attack high-income earners where 51% of our taxes are paid by 2 percent of New Yorkers. It blows my mind when people say, so what if they leave? No, you leave." At the same time, the plan will build up employment hubs and workspaces across the five boroughs so people can work closer to home.While numbers show the lowest citywide poverty rate in over 20 years and an all-time low for unemployment the "bright numbers concealed cracks."
