State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal combined units to create his Manhattan co-op
State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal has long spoken out about the need for more units to address New York City's affordable housing crisis — but has consolidated multiple homes in a pricey co-op to create a multi-million dollar apartment for himself. Between 2006 and 2016, Hoylman-Sigal and his husband combined three Greenwich Village apartments to form their 2,000-square-foot pad. There is no market value listed for the apartment, though with three bedrooms and three baths, the sale price would likely be in the millions. Hoylman-Sigal is an advocate for tenants' rights, slamming rent increases for rent-stabilized tenants and speaking out about the city's low vacancy rate. He is currently running for Manhattan borough president against Keith Powers, a current city councilmember. On a 2019 podcast, Hoylman-Sigal, who represents much of the west side of Manhattan, talked to host Jason Haber, a real estate entrepreneur, about the city's affordable housing problem. Haber said that consolidating units chips away at the city's housing stock and brought up an example of a wealthy New Yorker who combined nine apartments to form a single huge luxury home. Hoylman-Sigal agreed, explaining it makes financial sense for ultra-wealthy Manhattanites to buy multiple occupied units and merge them into mansions. He lamented this practice would force more rent-stabilized tenants out of their homes. 'On my block alone, on 10th Street, there's a software entrepreneur who's combining not one, not two, but three townhouses,' Hoylman-Sigal said, in an apparent reference to Sean Parker, a Facebook co-founder. 'It may be one of the largest townhouses in the Village by the time he's through with it. And I can't imagine to think how many families were pushed out of that residence over the years when he assembled this massive property. So it's a sad reality.' Parker's combination of the three mansions made headlines in 2016, although it does not appear he pushed any tenants out with his purchases. Hoylman-Sigal told the Daily News this week he had been referring to so-called 'Frankensteining,' or loopholes in rent stabilization laws that allowed landlords to combine or change apartments in order to hike rents up or push tenants out. That loophole was closed at the end of 2023 with the passage of legislation in Albany. Caroline Crowell, Hoylman-Sigal's campaign manager, cited his record on housing. 'In 2024, he helped secure more than 500 additional units of supportive and affordable housing in his senate district — in that same period, his opponent secured a paltry nine units in his council district,' Crowell said. 'The idea that the apartment he and his husband own in the Village has anything to do with Brad's record on increasing affordable housing is an absurd political hit.' The state senator also said he does not currently reside in the apartment, as he moved last year due to redistricting that shifted the bounds of the 47th District, which he represents.

Inter Milan Defender Refuses Italy Call-Up: ‘As Things Stand Today The Conditions Aren't There For Me To Press Forward With Serenity
Inter Milan Defender Refuses Italy Call-Up: 'As Things Stand Today The Conditions Aren't There For Me To Press Forward With Serenity Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi has officially announced that he's pulled out of the Italy squad for the international break. The 37-year-old Nerazzurri veteran wrote in an Instagram post that 'the conditions aren't there' for him to take part at the moment. Advertisement Francesco Acerbi received a call-up from Italy coach Luciano Spalletti for the upcoming international break, The Azzurri take on Norway and Moldova in FIFA World Cup qualifiers over the next couple weeks. View this post on Instagram However, Acerbi has also had club matters to consider. Inter were in the Champions League final yesterday. There, they suffered a crushing 5-0 loss at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. Naturally, that defeat has come as a massive blow for the Nerazzurri. Both as a team, and in terms of the individual players. Therefore, it is perhaps not surprising to see some fallout ahead of the international break. Inter Defender Francesco Acerbi Pulls Out Of Italy Squad: 'The Conditions Aren't There' BOLOGNA, ITALY – APRIL 20: Francesco Acerbi of FC Internazionale looks on as he sits on the ground during the Serie A match between Bologna and FC Internazionale at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on April 20, 2025 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) Inter defender Francesco Acerbi explains why he did not accept Spalletti's call-up for Italy. 'After deep reflection,' he writes, 'I communicated to the coach today that I won't accept the national team call-up.' Advertisement 'It's not a decision that I've taken lightly,' the 37-year-old continues. 'Because wearing the Azzurri shirt has always been an honour and a source of pride for me.' 'However, I believe that, in light of recent events, the conditions aren't there today for me to go forward with serenity,' Acerbi admits. 'I'm not looking for excuses or favours. But I demand respect.' 'And if that respect is lacking from those who should lead a group, then I prefer to step aside,' Acerbi goes on. 'I'm not someone who takes a call-up for granted. I've always given everything.' 'But I won't stay where I'm no longer truly wanted, and it's clear that I'm not part of the coach's project.' Advertisement 'That's my decision,' Acerbi announces. 'And as I told the coach this morning, it's not final.' 'Nor is it dictated by anger, much less by 'depression' after losing the Champions League final.' 'But only by a need to step back,' Acerbi adds. 'I wish the best to the national team and to my teammates,' Francesco Acerbi concludes. 'I'll continue to cheer them on with the same sense of attachment I've always shown on the pitch.'

Chris Hughes Posted And Deleted A Photo In Bed With JoJo Siwa, But Fans Have The Screenshot
If you were still trying to wrap your heads around the recent paparazzi pics of Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa and the growing possibility of them as a couple, boy, do I have an update for you. Monica Schipper / WireImage, Samir Hussein / WireImage The two have become especially close since meeting in April on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Relationship rumors began to swirl due to their affectionate behavior on the show — and heightened when JoJo broke up with her partner Kath Ebbs at the show's wrap party after realizing she was actually queer. FWIW, JoJo denied that Chris had played a role in her breakup with Kath. Still, speculation has only continued as the two have continued to make appearances together. Last month, JoJo posted a number of cuddly photos with Chris for her "magical" 22nd birthday, and just last week, the Sun published paparazzi pics that they claim show the two kissing during a trip to Mexico. View this photo on Instagram Related: Celebrities Who Were Allegedly Horrible To Wait On At Restaurants, And Others Who Were Amazing If there were still questions about the nature of their relationship, Chris seemed to put them to rest today when he shared an intimate pic with JoJo on Instagram. It shows a topless Chris in bed kissing JoJo as she smiles with her head resting on his chest, seemingly also topless. He captioned the image, "Sleeepinnn beauty" before eventually deleting the post.
