Scott Stringer's Vision for New York City: Education, Safety, and Housing

Published June 10, 2025 | Video Starts at 16:49

How did we get there? We take 1,000 vacant properties that we have. The city owns it. You own it, I own it. And We don't give that housing, those parcels of land to rich developers. We give it enough for profits. Limited profit developers. Build Michelama 2.0. That's what I want to do. The second thing is I want to start a Go Green committee in every single committee, board, district. (16:49–16:56)
