On today's episode of Closed! Emily and Mike chat with 18 year veteran of Community Board 5, Layla Law-Gisiko, about her experience and role in helping to shape development of midtown Manhattan.
We have a very informative chat with Layla about what a New York Community Board does, how she got involved, and the enormous ways that you can impact your community through political activism. We learn about public housing, the impact of tax incentives and building conversion, long-term vs. short-term development policies, and the role she believes special interests should play in shaping these policies.
We learned so much, and we think you will too!
