“Affordable housing — something Community Board 2 has repeatedly requested be part of the agreement– is one place Quinn has backed off. “It’s not going to happen,” a source familiar with the negotiations.”

Quinn removes pro-tenant advocates from Council’s Housing Committee: “Gone from the committee were a trio of stalwart pro-tenant council members, Manhattan’s Gail Brewer, Brooklyn’s Letitia James, and Queens’s Melinda Katz. In their place were two of the council’s three Republicans.”

“Quinn scored the lowest (on the human rights report card) amongst the Manhattan council members, with a C+ overall. Quinn got a D when it came to housing and a C for justice issues.”
