Understanding risk vs worry. In NYC cars killed 253 people last year, according to analysis by @TransAlt. 203 people fatally shot in NYC during same period. Worried about guns in NYC? Cars were more likely to kill you in 2024. via @gothamist

No other biz sector wld put up with this. Late payments to community #nonprofits went from 88.5% in FY23 to 90.7% in FY24. Almost 40% of contracts are over a year late. Time for @HSActionNY City Hall Contracts Lag Got Worse, Audit Finds via @katie_honan

We can (and must) create a balanced approach to voluntary + involuntary intervention w/ patient rights. But this is NOT leading with the right ratio of investments: $154m for NYPD vs $10m for community MH. @GovKathyHochul @JoAnneSimonBK52 @SenatorBrouk

More to keep unpacking from these nuanced but important data points. Gotta be a way to give care and not criminalize addiction and MH issues. Involuntary commitments start far more often in NYC's homes than public spaces, data shows via @gothamist

Proud to have @Greenwich_House join @liveonny @ebottcher @CMCrystalHudson @CMAlexaAviles and more, in standing up to fully fund #olderadult services in NYC. Providing meals, basic health and enrichment for NYers who helped build this City is our duty AND it makes fiscal sense.
