34%, the "Smart Choices, Better Future" Edition

34% is the share of New Yorkers who now rate the city’s quality of life excellent or good in CBC's recent citywide survey "Straight from New Yorkers." This is substantially lower than the 51% who rated quality of life positively in 2017. At the same time, the competition with other places to attract and keep residents and business is fierce. In this episode, CBC brought together leaders from New York's business, labor, nonprofit, and real estate sectors to discuss the ways in which we can come together to make New York an affordable, competitive, and vibrant City. -Vincent Alvarez, President of The New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO -Wayne Ho, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Chinese-American Planning Council -Jim Whelan, President of the Real Estate Board of New York -Kathryn Wylde, President and CEO of the Partnership for New York City -Moderated by CBC Vice Chair William Floyd, Senior Director, U.S. State and Local Government Affairs and Public Policy at Google You can learn more about CBC's campaign "Smart Choices, Better Future" by visiting https://bit.ly/SmartChoicesBetterFuture
