New York City Mayor Eric Adams has reported to be cutting even deeper into initiatives like free 3-K and pre-K, another brick in the wall that is an unaffordable city. From The Cut:

“Parents are really struggling to find affordable, high-quality child care,” Accurso said in a TikTok on Tuesday. “Here in New York City, our mayor cut $400 million from early-childhood-education programs and is proposing more cuts.”

She’s also headed to DC to speak with representatives because the child-care affordability isn’t just an urban issue. From the comments on her TikTok: “Sometimes you’re my childcare, so thank you!!!”

Update, Apr. 19: Some of the funding has been restored, according to Gothamist.
