THIS WEEK'S EPISODE:

Episode #1006: More Good News
First Broadcast: 12/2/24
I know the world is an awful place in many ways right now, but here are three good things that may give you some glimmers of hope for the future in New York City at least: Number One - If the City Council passes the "City of Yes" bill and the Mayor signs it, then parking requirements will be removed for new housing construction in most of Manhattan and sizable chunks of Brooklyn and Queens, which should create incentives for many more apartments to be built in all three of those boroughs, which ought to help ease the demand for housing by some amount. Number Two - Compost collection is now mandatory in Manhattan (and all the other boroughs), and diverting compostable materials away from landfills should go a long way towards reducing waste and garbage overall in the city. Last, but not least, at Number Three - Congestion pricing is back on schedule for Manhattan as of January 5, 2025, and if it works as planned it should reduce traffic, increase revenue for the MTA, and create cleaner air in Manhattan all at the same time! Who wouldn't want that! P.S.: Watch out for the Christmas creep!

So, what is Free New York anyway? The simple answer is that it's a this neat little public access TV show on Manhattan Neighborhood Network which I co-produce with the tremendous help of my camerawoman/editor/everything else, Kim. The complicated answer is that it's a project of mine to broadcast opinions and events which don't always appear within "the mainstream media" (like The New York Times, the major networks, local radio, etc.), and so far I think it's been working.

If you think I'm doing a good job--or not--and you feel like sending me snail mail, the address is:

You can also email me at fny@freenewyork.net, which should get to me a lot faster than the snail mail.
