A group of Democratic Socialists of America members has released a draft resolution calling on city officials to halt the planned demolition and redevelopment of the Fulton-Elliot Chelsea Houses, a Manhattan public housing complex. The move comes as residents face the imminent loss of their homes amid concerns over displacement and inadequate alternatives.
