CB6 - Brooklyn Community Board 6

A side by side set of election results from the New York City Board of Elections. On the left are the results for three housing related ballot questions. Proposal 2 shows 1,035,374 Yes votes and 740,039 No votes. Proposal 3 shows 993,871 Yes votes and 757,589 No votes. Proposal 4 shows 1,014,817 Yes votes and 725,941 No votes. On the right are the results for the Mayor’s race, showing Zohran Kwame Mamdani with 1,009,470 votes. The layout highlights that each of the housing measures and the winning mayoral candidate received over one million votes.

Questions 2, 3, and 4 on housing each received over a million Yes votes on average, with an average approval margin of 15.6 percent. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social also received over a million 🗳️. The Mayor elect was part of those by voting for himself and to approve Questions 2 to 4.

🎉 Congrats as well to Comptroller Elect @marklevinenyc.bsky.social.

And as we knew since he ran for Mayor in the primary, @bradlander.bsky.social will no longer be NYC Comptroller come January, but we know big things are ahead for the former @bkcb6.bsky.social member.

🎉 Congrats to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on being elected Mayor, and to @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social, @shahanafrombk.bsky.social, @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social, and @jumaane.bsky.social on re-election.

And congrats to @aschierenbeck.bsky.social and the CRC team on Questions 2 to 5 passing.

Every year community boards across New York City submit a "District Needs Statement", identifying their district's priorities with the hopes of influencing the city budget. @racioppomike.bsky.social writes about the process and highlights our call on @bkcb6.bsky.social for community input.

CB6 FY2027 District Needs Assessment Survey Brooklyn Community Board 6 is currently preparing our Fiscal Year 2027 District Needs Assessment. This document, which we submit to the City of New York each fall, helps guide our budget priorities. ...

We want to hear from you! If you live in Brooklyn CB6 (Red Hook, Gowanus, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Columbia Waterfront) fill out our survey and let us know what you want to see prioritized in this year's district needs statement.

"Housing is the most-pressing crisis facing New York City. The plan delivers up to 6,000 new homes, with 2,650 permanently below market rate at deep affordability levels, including 250 units reserved for NYCHA residents from the surrounding neighborhoods."

Celebrated #CityOfWaterDay w/ the Gowanus Canal Conservancy at Thomas Greene Park! Huge credit & thanks to @bkcb6.bsky.social members Aurelia Casey & Joe Anne Brown for making it happen.

It all reinforces why a Gowanus BID will benefit Gowanus’s future.

We did it, it's open! I both checked out and returned books today at the new Carroll Gardens popup library. In just 3 months, so many people came together to make this dream a reality and it's a beautiful thing, we've never been more back 🥹

Come by 250 Baltic and take out a book like @aspishakthomas.com did today!

The Carroll Gardens library branch has been closed for over a year so we on @bkcb6.bsky.social worked to open a temporary library branch until they complete the renovations (in 2026). Absolutely thrilled to see I can finally request a library book pick up from the temporary space!
