Yes, it’s a real shame that “In spite of the mayor’s late push, the City Council is “prepared to override” both the mayor’s vetoes, according to Adrienne Adams, the Council speaker. It would be the second and third time that the Council has overridden the mayor, following a decision in July to reject his veto of a housing voucher program.”

Regarding the Housing Voucher Program: “I want to be clear: These bills are about helping the lowest-income New Yorkers facing homelessness and housing insecurity,” said the Council speaker, Adrienne Adams, calling the bills the most “significant policy reforms to address homelessness” in years.

“The fight centers on a set of bills that would make more New Yorkers who are either homeless or at risk of eviction eligible for a housing voucher program. Vouchers are already one of the city’s most significant housing initiatives.”

Why in earth does this man hate his fellow humans so much?
