Not wasting time on his socialist agenda

I bet he won't lower property taxes so landlords can't rent units for less and still make the liability worth the risk.

Hey, you don't like it? Move. Insane government thinks they can dictate the lessor lessee relationship.

And dictate by having only one self-serving side recognized. Predetermined outcome.

VOR said he couldn’t affect anything on his own though.

Dude is going to be dealing with a record number of lawsuits during his pathetic excuse for an administration.

Maybe NY should close their doors to unfettered migration and there would be more houses for actual citizens of this country.

What are the odds that he'll also increase real estate taxes rather than lower them.

I thought he wanted to make everything free?

Shouldn't taxes be virtually nothing?

He plans to use these “hearing” to bury owners in legal debt so he can get those properties to his moose limbs friends.

If he really wanted to reduce rents, yes, but that's not how the city bureaucracy works. In the 70's and 80's, the city raised real estate taxes to pay for all of the social programs they borrowed money for and at the same time froze and restricted rental prices.

The result is that a raft of low rent buildings started burning down on the Lower Eastside and in the Bronx.

Is he going to dictate the price of paint and plumbers?

He also said that he'd make the subways free, and instead he raised the fares today.

I'll ever understand why anyone would want to be a landlord in NYC.

Of course, many of these properties are corporate owned.

Actually, it was the buses he said he would make free. Maybe this is how he's gonna pay for it.

They're going to.

And they're going to leave for places like TX and FL, but they're going to bring their progressive voting propensities with them to their new conservative habitats.

This shite spreads like parasitic cancer. Infect host, drain it empty, move to new host. Rinse and repeat.

That’s a great way to increase rent across the board

I'm no socialist, but I'm not coming to the defense of slum lords.
