As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

An array of apartments on the Upper West Side have hit the market with shockingly low price tags — think: less than $200,000 — but not just anyone can purchase the properties. 

The 17 residences are being doled out by NYC’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development via an income-restricted affordable lottery at 160 W. 80th St., a pre-war building primely located mere blocks from Central Park.

Pete Buttigieg pushes back on Biden’s record in testy Fox News interview

President Biden was fed a series of gentle softballs over the weekend by Robert Costa of CBS News. He mumbled through his responses in what felt like an exit interview. After his debate debacle at the end of June, Biden publicly and privately stated that he was staying in the presidential race. It would take the “Lord Almighty” telling him to step aside for him to go, he told George Stephanopoulos. He held a press conference on July 11 that seemed to assuage concerns by some in his party. And then, 10 days later, he dropped out, in a letter posted to his social media accounts.
