Did Justin Brannan Forget to Say That REBNY Wanted to Change Office Space Into Housing?

Last December, this site showed that the The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) wants to change NYC office space into housing because many people didn’t return back to work.


Then there is Councilman Brannan seeking a task force to study office conversions. Remember Brannan’s last “task force” fail?

The property tax task force was a disaster! There was no one on the task force that was being overcharged for taxes. The people on the task force didn’t even discuss out area. When they had the meeting for Brooklyn, one of the people on the task force wasn’t present because she didn’t make it back from vacation. The Property Task Force gave no answers or a new rate. Brannan actually thanked the Property Task Force for the incomplete report. Senator Gounardes didn’t say or do anything.

Today, Justin Brannan wrote this on Twitter, but he failed to mention REBNY. He’s such a silly goose, he left out REBNY. (That’s not my sarcasm, that’s how Brannan likes to play on Twitter and call people silly for questioning him).



Brannan thinks no one will notice the tweet because it’s ten days before Christmas.

Ten people actually liked the tweet!

Who would like a Tweet like this?? Someone who works at REBNY did. And Brannan’s mother liked it. (See here)

Normally, I wouldn’t discuss someone’s mother, but when she wants to SUPPORT REBNY while our community is asking for help and Brannan thought this was OKAY to do during the pandemic, YES I am going to discuss Why did she like this?

Even stranger, Councilman Brannan thinks that the task force for this should study should have the commissioner of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, the head of the Department of Buildings, the City Council Speaker and Jumaane Williams. (Source)

When this article was written in March 2021, Justin Brannan thought he was going to be the NYC Council Speaker and he was going to push this through.

Scott Rechler, CEO of RXR Realty is quoted in The Real Deal’s article. “Rechler’s firm controls 26 million square feet of office space in New York City.(Source)

Not so ironic, RXR Realty lobbied Councilman Justin Brannan in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Why didn’t Justin Brannan publish that information on his social media so everyone knows who he is rooting for?

You can find that information in the lobbyist database here. Sometimes Brannan supporters don’t believe Brannan would do this, so I put the link so they can check it for themselves.

Put RXR Realty LLC in the box under Client and Councilman Brannan in the Lobbying Target here. . Then click search.

A lot of money is being spent for these three years:





Mayor Bill de Blasio has criticized this plan, calling it a giveaway to the real estate industry. (Source) The plan was initially being run with Governor Cuomo! (See article)


Even during a global pandemic, Councilman Brannan can’t give promoting lobbyist interests a rest.

Do you all remember when Chris McCreight fought against the old senator and corruption? Now McCreight is silent as Brannan is doing this to our community and NYC! Why haven’t the Democrat District Leaders putting a stop to this nonsense?

Chris McCreight must have changed positions on corruption. Read this:


That tweet didn’t age well. District Leaders like McCreight and Tori Kelly are silent about this.

If you are wondering why things don’t get done in Bay Ridge, it’s because of corruption.

Commercial Real Estate Was Interested in Who Would Be NYC Speaker

Many people cheered that Justin Brannan wouldn’t be the Speaker, but the Commercial Observer (here) stated:

“Real estate industry leaders have quietly indicated they are more inclined to embrace Brannan, followed by Powers, Adrienne Adams or Moya, and are less supportive of Rivera, Ayala and Brewer for the position, sources said.”

“Most real estate folks would prefer to see a Justin speakership but that may turn people off,” one Brooklyn real estate executive said of Brannan. “I don’t think Justin would be psyched about that story.”

Fireworks in Bay Ridge on December 14th

If you hear fireworks around 7:00 pm in Bay Ridge, that means Santa has just arrived at St. Pats!

Don’t worry, the fireworks are only for 10-12 minutes, but they are amazing!

The people at St. Pats really know how to do it up for Chistmas. Santa’s sleigh rides down 4th Avenue to 96th Street and stops outside St. Pats.

The children’s eyes are huge and everyone is happy – even during the pandemic last year they did this. We walked into it last year and it was magical!

Whoever thought to do this at St. Pats is amazing!

Glad to Say Goodbye to NYC Speaker Corey Johnson

When Corey Johnson started out in NYC, we thought he was going to be good. But he was terrible and that’s what allowed Mayor de Blasio and this city to fall apart.

Johnson didn’t want to admit that NYC was far worse after he was in office. The downward spiral happened long before Covid.

Johnson won’t tell you about the deal that went down between NYC and ACC. All who allowed that will face God one day.

The nonsense of a property tax commission happened under Johnson. He didn’t know what to do and just talking without knowledge didn’t help our city.

Corey Johnson’s term ended with him talking nicely to the East River Park activists. He pretended he was listening and would help. But their park was flattened because Johnson failed to do anything. This wasn’t due to Corey’s lack of education or experience. This was due to a heartless man who didn’t care. How could anyone turn their back on some people who were fighting for their park?
