Jersey City, do you care about affordable housing?

You& #39;ve got some work to do this week.

1/
If you get Mayor Fulop& #39;s emails, you probably know that City Council is on the verge of passing an "affordable housing" bill. Unfortunately, this bill is a wolf in sheep& #39;s clothing: it& #39;s a gift to developers masquerading as progressive policy.

First, read the ordinance here:

So what can you do to help JC get real affordable housing? Three things, in order of difficulty:

1. Sign this petition. (FYI: I DGAF about Lavarro& #39;s beef with Fulop one way or the other - I care about the ordinance. But Lavarro is leading the charge)

2. Call and/or write to your Councilmember. Unless you live in Ward E, your Councilmember is planning to vote for this joke of an "affordable housing" law. Tell them you don& #39;t support it and why - tell them what you want to see.
