When we came into office, we had a clear mission: protect public safety, rebuild our economy as quickly as possible, and make our city more livable for everyday New Yorkers. The key to livability is affordable housing. It is the bedrock on which New Yorkers can build a family, build a life, or simply continue to live in the city they love. But there is currently not enough affordable housing to meet our city’s needs.

The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s 2023 Housing and Vacancy Survey showed that our city has a vacancy rate of 1.4 percent, the lowest this measurement has been since 1968. The only way to create more rental availability and lower prices is to build more housing. To build more affordable housing, we must think creatively and bring every partner to the table. No partner has been more willing to answer the call than our faith-based organizations. They have been on the frontline of every crisis — from the CoViD-19 pandemic to the asylum seeker crisis. Houses of worships have always opened their doors to those most in need. Now, they want to lend a helping hand in creating critically-needed affordable housing. However, because of outdated and antiquated zoning laws that go back generations, houses of worship have been told “no.” But those days are over.

Our city must stop saying “no,” and instead say “yes”: “yes” to housing in God’s backyard.  Under our “City of Yes” plan…

Online poker in the United States has a rich and complex history that dates back to the late 1990s. Throughout this article, we will explore when and how the first online poker sites began running, the opportunities players have been presented with over the years, the legality of online poker in the United States, and how this has been a contentious issue for many.

Pioneering the Virtual Tables: Tracing the Early Days of Online Poker

The early days of online poker can be traced back to the late 1990s and early 2000s when the Internet was becoming more accessible to the general public. The first online poker sites started to emerge, offering players the opportunity to play poker from the comfort of their own homes. These sites allowed players to compete against each other in real time, using virtual tables and digital cards.

One of the key pioneers in the online poker industry was Planet Poker, which launched in 1998 and is widely considered the first real-money online poker site. Other early players in the sector included Paradise Poker, PokerStars, and PartyPoker, which helped to popularize online…

Street Renaming Petition To Honor Mario D’Agostino
The Bronx Daily | Bronx.com

Mario D’Agostino, who passed away June 14, 2020, was a true leader in his community in the Bronx and left his mark on the neighborhood and everyone, who had the pleasure of knowing him. 

Mario was an honorable man, who changed people’s lives with his beautiful mind, strong work ethic, positive outlook on life and investing in his favorite part of New York City, the Bronx.

Editorial

You should know that in one of his first public appearances, after having resigned as Governor for New York State, Andrew Cuomo will be visiting the South Bronx. His visit to the Bronx is to meet with Members of “The New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, which I preside over.

As you know, last summer Governor Cuomo resigned, when he was accused and practically abandoned by all his friends, politicians, and community groups, whom he had helped in the past. These so-called friends, and groups that were all too happy to kiss his ring, joined the “cancel culture” environment, that plaques us all, without due process, they washed their hands with a dismissive attitude, sending the message “Crucify him, crucify him”.

Several courts and judges have dismissed the allegations of “sexual harassment” against Governor Cuomo. With this episode behind him, Governor Cuomo has begun to visit and make public appearances by visiting different faith-based organizations and community groups.

It is very important for you to know that Governor Cuomo’s first public visit was to “God’s Battalion of Prayer Temple” in East Flatbush, Brooklyn on Sunday March 06, 2022. His next planned visit is to the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization” in the South Bronx.

You should also know that in a recent poll, Governor Cuomo, without being a candidate nor having announced his political aspirations, has polled with just four (4) points behind Governor Kathy Hochul.

As you know, Governor Hochul was a friend and she was handpicked by Cuomo to be his Lieutenant Governor. However, she was among one of the first to throw him under the bus, in the midst of the allegations, launched against him.

I imagine that those four (4) points will evaporate very soon and Governor Hochul will have to consider asking Governor Cuomo for his support, if she wishes to be officially elected by the people to the governorship.

As President of the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, I am looking forward to hosting Governor Cuomo on Thursday, March 17, 2022. We welcome him to the South…

New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced “Jobs NYC,” a new multi-pronged citywide effort to reduce barriers to economic opportunities and deliver workforce development services directly to communities across the five boroughs that are experiencing high unemployment.

The collaborative effort will focus on three core pillars:

  1. revamping the administration’s “hiring halls” in an effort to bring public and private job opportunities and career services to economically-disadvantaged communities on a monthly basis in each borough;
  2. launching a new jobs.nyc.gov talent portal to connect New Yorkers to job and training opportunities, and
  3. continuing to reform the city’s Minimum Qualification Requirements to make certain entry-level jobs within city government are more accessible – in June 2023, Mayor Adams removed the Bachelor’s degree requirement for certain city jobs.

“While we have a lot to celebrate in recovering all of the private-sector jobs lost during the pandemic — more than a year ahead of schedule — our recovery has not been equitable and it has not yet reached every New Yorker. That is why we are doing everything we can to make sure New York City remains a city for working-class people,” said Mayor Adams. “Black unemployment is still far too high in New York City and across the nation, but Jobs NYC will bring a whole-of-government effort to meet New Yorkers where they are — helping to build an economy of the future with real pathways to family-sustaining careers. This is how we ensure all New Yorkers, particularly those in Black and Brown communities, have access to the jobs of the 21st century, and this is how we can continue to recruit a workforce that…

There are many sports that are popular globally, including football, tennis, basketball, golf, and cricket. These sports are all extremely popular in Asia but what sports do many people enjoy in Asia that might not be played as much elsewhere?

Kabaddi

Kabaddi has long been popular in India and is one of the biggest sports in the country. The sport originated in India has spread to Pakistan and Bangladesh. Recently Kabaddi has been growing in popularity in Iran, Thailand, and South Korea, meaning the sport is spreading across the Asian continent. The Pro Kabaddi League is the leading Kabaddi competition, and you will find betting markets for the sport at a top Asia betting site committed to promoting sports in the region. There is a Kabaddi World Cup, a tournament that includes Japan, and Kabaddi is also played at the Asian Games.

Karate

There are several different organisations within competitive karate and tournaments are held across Asia, from youth to international standard. Karate is popular in Japan, China, Vietnam, and Iran to name but a few Asian countries that compete regularly at the highest level. The Karate World Championships is the biggest tournament and Japan leads the way at the top of the medals table with 98 gold at the time of writing. Karate has been approved as an Olympic sport and it was included in the 2020 Olympic Games.
