Last night, Democratic mayoral hopefuls Bill de Blasio, John Liu, Christine Quinn, Bill Thompson, and Anthony Weiner spent the night in the Lincoln Houses, an East Harlem public housing complex. Unsurprisingly, every candidate left this morning shocked by conditions, with Quinn claiming that the mold infestation in the apartment she stayed in was "the worst she's ever seen." The event was organized by Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network to expose living conditions in New York City Housing Authority complexes. [Gothamist]
