Closings more than doubled compared to a year ago, and were also up 26% from 2021’s first quarter. The number of contracts signed during the second quarter set a new record, so expect the number of closings to rise sharply in 3Q21. I’m also happy to announce we have made two major changes to our Brooklyn quarterly report beginning with this issue. First, instead of reporting on just four major areas, we now have data for 12 neighborhood groupings. This will allow us to present more localized and relevant data to you. Secondly, we are now just reporting on apartments, as townhouses will now have their own semiannual report.

  • New York City Housing Development Corporation
    New York City Housing Development Corporation 2000 Annual Report foundation for the future Building on a record of success by financing quality affordable housing that brings new purpose and vitality to New York City’s neighborhoods. Building on our strong foundation his past fiscal year marked more than just the new millennium for HDC. While the Corporation continued its extraor- dinary record of financial support for affordable housing in New York City, HDC focused both internally and exter- Tnally on laying a foundation for the future. No one can deny that New York City has experienced an extraordinary rebirth over the last seven years. The economy is booming. Crime has been drastically reduced. Tourists from around the country and the world are enjoying the best that New York has to offer. The most important aspect of this metamorphosis, however, is that people want to live in New York City once again, as evidenced by 2000 Census data showing that the population has increased by more than 600,000 since 1996. The private market has aimed to meet the resulting increased demand for housing by constructing and rehabilitating market-rate units in Manhattan. But this increase in supply has not offset increased demand significantly enough to provide low- and middle-income New Yorkers with adequate quantities of viable housing. Furthermore, the private-market-driven housing renaissance has been most apparent in Manhattan and has extended only slowly to communities in Upper Manhattan and the other boroughs. These neighborhoods have for some time contained not only large volumes of vacant, often grand buildings, but also a majority of the population that most desperately needs quality affordable housing.

  • He Dreams of Giants
    From the makers of Lost In La Mancha comes A Tale of Obsession… He Dreams of Giants A film by Keith Fulton and Lou Pepe RUNNING TIME: 84 minutes United Kingdom, 2019, DCP, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround, Aspect Ratio16:9 PRESS CONTACT: Cinetic Media Ryan Werner and Charlie Olsky 1 SYNOPSIS “Why does anyone create? It’s hard. Life is hard. Art is hard. Doing anything worthwhile is hard.” – Terry Gilliam From the team behind Lost in La Mancha and The Hamster Factor, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is the culmination of a trilogy of documentaries that have followed film director Terry Gilliam over a twenty-five-year period. Charting Gilliam’s final, beleaguered quest to adapt Don Quixote, this documentary is a potent study of creative obsession. For over thirty years, Terry Gilliam has dreamed of creating a screen adaptation of Cervantes’ masterpiece. When he first attempted the production in 2000, Gilliam already had the reputation of being a bit of a Quixote himself: a filmmaker whose stories of visionary dreamers raging against gigantic forces mirrored his own artistic battles with the Hollywood machine. The collapse of that infamous and ill-fated production – as documented in Lost in La Mancha – only further cemented Gilliam’s reputation as an idealist chasing an impossible dream. HE DREAMS OF GIANTS picks up Gilliam’s story seventeen years later as he finally mounts the production once again and struggles to finish it. Facing him are a host of new obstacles: budget constraints, a history of compromise and heightened expectations, all compounded by self-doubt, the toll of aging, and the nagging existential question: What is left for an artist when he completes the quest that has defined a large part of his career? 2 Combining immersive verité footage of Gilliam’s production with intimate interviews and archival footage from the director’s entire career, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is a revealing character study of a late-career artist, and a meditation on the value of creativity in the face of mortality.

Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.
