Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion has high hopes for change
For someone who says he hates politics, Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion is good at it. Since he took office in 2001, Carrion has increased total investment in the Bronx from $400 million in 2001 to almost $6 billion today, has raised property value by 40% and reduced unemployment by 6%.
Housing happens to be his primary concern. Since Carrion took office, $2.2 billion has been invested in residential real estate, 40% of the borough president’s budget has gone to housing development and 35,000 new units have been built, 15,000 of which are classified affordable.
“I really do hate politics,” says Carrion. “But I love people, I love New York, and I love building a stronger, more beautiful city where people have opportunity.”
