Over the past several months, since launching his campaign for New York State Assembly, Ahron Gluck has spent countless hours speaking with residents throughout our community. One issue comes up again and again: the growing struggle to find an affordable apartment or home in the neighborhood we love.
For many Lubavitcher families, the dream of remaining in Crown Heights is becoming increasingly difficult. Today, to rent a typical two-bedroom apartment in Crown Heights often costs more than the mortgage for a home in one of the newly established suburban Chabad communities, placing an enormous burden on working families, seniors, longtime residents and even Chassanim and Kallahs in Kan Tziva Hashem Es Habrocha.
Crown Heights and East Flatbush Residents are asking a simple question: Why are families being priced out of their own neighborhood while local elected officials continue to approve more homeless shelters for criminals instead of focusing on low-income housing for district residents?
New York City’s housing market is all about supply and demand; everyone involved in real estate knows that. But when leftists elected officials decide to take a lot of supply and convert it into homeless shelters, then there’s more demand which ultimately makes your rent in Crown Heights higher and there’s any increase in crime negatively affecting our neighborhood.
The Crown Heights and East Flatbush community deserves leaders who listen. We deserve representatives who understand the challenges facing local families and who will fight to keep our neighborhood sustainable for the people who built it.
If elected to the State Assembly, Ahron Gluck will be a strong voice for housing opportunities for working families in our district. When questions arise about whether a location should be used for another homeless shelter or for housing that allows local families to remain in the community, Assembly candidate Gluck will stand firmly on the side of housing.
The people of our neighborhood deserve a representative who hears their concerns and puts the needs of residents first.
It’s time for a change. Crown Heights can reached its boiling point with liberal elected officials treating the broad a homeless shelter dumping ground. It’s time to fight for community housing and a future where our kinderlach can afford to live where they grew up instead of leaving for other Chabad communities.
