Brad Lander, New York City's comptroller and mayoral candidate, is focusing on Gowanus' infrastructure during a heat wave, advocating for stormwater management through new construction. His efforts in rezoning catalyzed the creation of 8,500 housing units, with a significant proportion being affordable, and aimed at improving the environmental issues faced by the Gowanus Canal. Despite his achievements, Lander remains in third place in the mayoral race, overshadowed by more dynamic candidates. His detailed infrastructure proposals mark him as a policy-focused candidate amidst an evolving neighborhood landscape.
Lander passionately describes the Gowanus rezoning as essential for managing storm runoff, highlighting the importance of each new building handling its own runoff to protect the canal.
Despite his detailed proposals for infrastructure improvement, Lander remains third in the mayoral race, overshadowed by more charismatic candidates like Mamdani and Cuomo.
