Chi Ossé, New York's youngest councilmember, creatively utilizes his web series, "Why Shit Not Working," to address urban issues, particularly the gap between job growth and housing availability. During filming in Crown Heights, Ossé discusses the significant increase in jobs versus minimal housing expansion, which leads to rising prices. The series aims to unveil systemic problems in the city's operations and propose solutions for better living conditions. His approach blends engaging visuals with impactful narratives to reach a wider audience and raise awareness about local challenges.
"... jobs grew 22 percent and people poured into the city. But housing grew only 4 percent, creating a scarcity that caused prices to soar."
"I explain why so much shit in the city doesn't work, how to fix it, and why we need to."
