Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex, Drugs, and the Rock 'n Roll of dysfunction are on the docket of Bronx Family Court, the busiest family court in NYC. Schwartz the Lawyer fights for justice for families in that court while struggling with personal demons that place his own family at risk. In the cross-hairs of this tragi-comedic novel are the minions of the Children's Best Interest Industrial Complex: the judges, lawyers, caseworkers, social workers, therapists, and litigants who populate Bronx Family Court. Bronx Stagger rises from the ashes of Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities to dramatize the inner life of the denizens of The Bronx behind the sealed doors of the courtrooms. With his libido in overdrive, Schwartz is looking for love in all the wrong courtrooms. Immersed in the dysfunctional dance of sex and violence that permeates the Family Court milieu, Schwartz is conflicted by his flagging idealism, nagging conscience and the dulling of his skills against the miasma of mediocrity and C.Y.A. culture that infuses the Family Court/Foster Care System. Accused of sex abuse and domestic violence, Schwartz travels the continuum from apathetic lawyer to outraged litigant as his family is drawn into the Court's vortex of passion. A diverse ensemble of colleagues, clients, and cohorts inhabit the landscape of this novel, each with their own story to tell. The humor ranges from dark to echoes of vaudeville. The tragedy is, well, pretty tragic. The soundtrack of Schwartz's tale is provided courtesy of his infatuation with a star-crossed scion of the Bronx, the Late, Great Bobby Darin. The temporal frame of the novel is the final months of the Twentieth Century, with the horrors of the next century stored like floats in a parade, waiting to be inflated and unfurled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill de Blasio's campaign rhetoric focused on a tale of two cities: rich and poor New York. He promised to value the needs of poor and working-class New Yorkers, making city government work better for everyone-not just those who thrived during Bloomberg's tenure as mayor. But well into de Blasio's administration, many critics think that little has changed, especially in terms of land owners' and developers' profits. Despite the mayor's goal of creating more affordable housing, Brooklyn and Manhattan sit atop the list of the most unaffordable housing markets in the country. It seems that the old adage is becoming truer: New York is a place for only the very rich and the very poor. In The Creative Destruction of New York City, urban scholar Alessandro Busà travels to neighborhoods across the city, from Harlem to Coney Island, to tell the story of fifteen years of drastic rezoning and rebranding, updating the tale of two New Yorks. There is a gilded city of sky-high glass towers where Wall Street managers and foreign billionaires live-or merely store their cash. And there is another New York: a place where even the professional middle class is one rent hike away from displacement. Despite de Blasio's rhetoric, the trajectory since Bloomberg has been remarkably consistent. New York's urban development is changing to meet the consumption demands of the very rich, and real estate moguls' power has never been greater. Major players in real estate, banking, and finance have worked to ensure that, regardless of changes in leadership, their interests are safeguarded at City Hall. The Creative Destruction of New York City is an important chronicle of both the success of the city's elite and of efforts to counter the city's march toward a glossy and exclusionary urban landscape. It is essential reading for everyone who cares about affordable housing access and, indeed, the soul of New York City

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing housing crisis cries out for solutions that work. As many as 3.5 million Americans experience homelessness each year, half of them women and children. One in four renters spends more than half of their income on rent and utilities (more than 30 percent is considered unaffordable). With record foreclosures and 28 percent of homes underwater, middle and low-income homeowners are suffering. Many congregations want to address this daunting problem yet feel powerless and uncertain about what to do. The good news is that churches are effectively addressing the housing crisis from Washington State to New York City--where an alliance of sixty churches has built five thousand homes for low-income homeowners, with virtually no government funding or foreclosures. This book not only presents solid theological thinking about housing, but also offers workable solutions to the current crisis: true stories by those who have made housing happen. Each story features a different Christian denomination, geographic area, and model: adaptive reuse, cohousing, cooperative housing, mixed-income, mixed-use, inclusionary zoning, second units, community land trusts, sweat equity, and more. Making Housing Happen is about vision and faith, relationships, and persistence. Its remarkable stories will inspire and challenge you to action. This new edition includes significant new material, especially in light of the ongoing mortgage crisis.
