Myrie, who represents parts of Crown Heights and Park Slope —areas that have been hit hard by gentrification, displacement and loss of rent-regulated units—said on Wednesday that the recently passed rent law package is an “incredibly giant step forward in the movement to protect tenants.”
“I represent central Brooklyn, which in many ways has been the epicenter of the affordability crisis, and for me to be able to represent my community, on an issue that means so much to my district … that was really incredible,” [Senator Myrie] said.
