Christopher Leon Johnson testifies against the 3rd party transfer program and criticizes various nonprofits and community organizations involved in housing issues. He argues that these organizations, including RAPH and community land trusts, are not truly fighting for the interests of tenants and low-income residents, but rather for their own benefit and that of developers.
- Johnson claims that the buildings managed by nonprofits in Harlem are in poor condition and unsuitable for living.
- He warns the audience to be cautious of organizations and individuals who claim to be fighting for them, mentioning specific names and alleging connections to developers and politicians.
- Johnson asserts that the 3rd party transfer program is detrimental and only benefits corrupt nonprofits and politicians seeking re-election.

3:16:32
I'm gonna fight against you have It's a real corrupt nonprofit.
3:16:37
I used to work in one of the buildings in on Harlem, right, in Shawnabrio District.
3:16:42
Borderline, Shawnabrio, I think, is now use of salam district on in 100 and 115th area, the 100th area.
3:16:50
And, yeah, it's really dirty.
3:16:51
Those buildings are really dirty and really really dirty and really nasty.
3:16:59
It's not good for anybody to live in.
3:17:01
This is, like, this stuff with 3rd party transfer.
3:17:03
Anytime, they like, these nonprofit be saying, like, this is gonna benefit attendance.
3:17:07
It's never gonna benefit the little person.
3:17:08
Never gonna benefit these people here, the lady back there.
3:17:11
It's only gonna benefit these nonprofits.
3:17:13
One thing I I wanna say is to tell people like deal when all people that's fighting against the stuff is that you gotta be careful of the people that act like they're fighting for you.
3:17:21
And I'm talking about your deal.
3:17:22
I'm talking about, like, people like this little little fat, little vain looking markings, jenkins,
Will Depoo
3:17:28
that sucks.
Pierina Ana Sanchez
3:17:28
People are marked No personal attacks here.
Christopher Leon Johnson
3:17:31
I understand.
3:17:31
I understand.
3:17:32
So, like, Marquis Jacobs, the district leader of the Sunny Fork District, who is under Connor Rivera's dome and who act like who fighting for fighting for us, and everybody else with you with RAPH, and he's not.
3:17:48
Repairing takes money from developers.
3:17:50
How do you have a a person that leaves an organization as so called fighting against the fight against the issue that is down with elected official named Collin Rivera, who was a young bee, who was hell bent on selling out lower ESSA to the developers.
3:18:04
Everybody know about Collin Rivera.
3:18:06
So I tell people, those people that'd be careful these organizations like RPPH, and these so called community land trust organizations that is in pocket with these developers and in pocket with Remedy to lead you guys astray.
3:18:19
People who gotta start link up and see, like, who leading these stuff?
3:18:22
Who's on the board?
3:18:23
Who's the lead organizer?
3:18:26
Who's who's who's who because they and and and the thing is, these, like, officials, I'm not saying that you, Pareen, you don't be with them, but, like, people, like, semi nurse who are scared of these organizations because all she care about is keeping her next term and make sure her people get their terms in office.
3:18:41
And this is a big issue.
3:18:42
A lot of, like, professionals just scale these these community and socials organization, they shouldn't be.
3:18:47
These community and socials organically, they download the stuff because they they they they reap the rewards of this.
3:18:52
All this stuff is is about put and keep these nonprofits in in richer, and that's all it's about.
3:18:59
And it's not just you haves.
3:19:00
It's the it's the other nonprofit that's under the working families party in the New York State DSA.
3:19:06
They're ripping the walls out to Startukka.
3:19:08
They're part of this thing.
3:19:09
And especially our city controller, Brad Pander, he's part of the stuff too.
3:19:14
He's the ones that's the one that made that best use case, and you
Pierina Ana Sanchez
3:19:17

3:19:25
You people gotta wake up.
3:19:28
The 3rd party transfer is is bad for business.
3:19:31
Is they act like they're fighting for the local guy.
3:19:33
They're not.
3:19:33
All this is about is takeaway property from the developers and the landlords and the property management companies.
3:19:38
They don't approve of the ones that don't go into their campaigns and give it to these corrupt nonprofits that they know that all they're gonna do is election year and election year and election year.
3:19:48
