I had the good fortune of serving as Chief of Staff to Yume Kitasei during peak Covid. As @mayor.nyc.gov said "Yume is the perfect person to lead @nycdcas.bsky.social ...like many New Yorkers, Yume contains multitudes." Yume is unflappable, whip smart, kind, and an all-around wonderful pick.
A great choice - @asivin.bsky.social is smart, principled, and in public service for all of the right reasons.

“Too often, LI housing advocates find themselves lamenting opportunities lost, and an ever-growing housing need unmet. With a development underway on 13 acres on Conklin St in East Farmingdale, however, LI can declare a clear victory.” Well put @newsday.bsky.social! www.newsday.com/opinion/edit...
