We need to accelerate the transition to clean, reliable, affordable energy, invest in modernizing our electric grid, and build an energy future that protects both our planet and New Yorkers’ pocketbooks.

The answer is not to double down on fossil fuels, which are driving climate change, exposing consumers to volatile global energy markets, and leaving us vulnerable to conflicts overseas.

States across the country, including New York, face a critical challenge: building the energy capacity we need to power our economy while keeping utility bills under control.

During UN Climate Week, Assemblymember Robert Carroll and I joined Illinois Governor @jbpritzker.bsky.social for a timely conversation about meeting our growing energy needs while keeping costs affordable for families.

Thank you to @msignorile.bsky.social on SiriusXM for having Assemblymember @tonysimone.bsky.social and me on to discuss our legislation to lift NYC’s 40-year-old ban on adult bathhouses and replace it with a modern, science-based public health framework. It’s time to update outdated policies!

Thank you to all the community members who came out to celebrate this special occasion and help honor Little Spain’s rich history.

¡Viva La Nacional! ¡Viva Little Spain! 🇪🇸 I joined Council Member Carl Wilson for the street co-naming of W 14th Street as “Little Spain–La Nacional Way,” honoring La Nacional’s 100 years on this block and its work keeping Little Spain’s history and culture alive.

Just found this video online from over a year ago. What the hell is wrong with people?!

Preserving affordable housing is just as important as building new housing. This commitment will help ensure that Manhattan Plaza remains an affordable, vibrant community for generations to come.

@ebottcher.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:03 PM

For nearly 50 years, Manhattan Plaza has been a cornerstone of Hell’s Kitchen and New York City’s performing arts community, providing affordable homes for the artists, actors, dancers, musicians, and other New Yorkers who make our city extraordinary.

@ebottcher.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:03 PM

The announcement also includes plans for significant investments in the buildings, including improvements to accessibility, roofing, mechanical systems, apartments, and shared community spaces.

@ebottcher.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:03 PM

This is a major victory for affordable housing in Hell’s Kitchen and for the thousands of New Yorkers who call Manhattan Plaza home.

@ebottcher.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:03 PM

Related Companies, which owns and operates Manhattan Plaza, has announced a 35-year extension of Manhattan Plaza’s Mitchell-Lama commitment with New York City, along with a new 20-year federal Section 8 contract extending through September 2046!

@ebottcher.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:03 PM

BIG NEWS FOR MANHATTAN PLAZA! 🏙️🎭 Manhattan Plaza, one of New York City’s most iconic affordable housing communities and a longtime home for artists and performing arts professionals in Hell’s Kitchen, will remain affordable for decades to come!

Shelter can be more than a roof over someone’s head. It should be a pathway to stability, health, independence, and a permanent home.
