They will do this, and in two years, when the apartments are all needing repairs that the landlord can't afford to make due to stagnated rent, they will call the landlords slumlords, then move for the city to forcefully take over the apartments.
Mamadani has already said they will take the property. This is just the first move of the commies setting the plan in motion

Correct. As the democrat party goes more left, their new leaders are more than happy to tell you that they hate American and what it stands for (see the last three elected this week....they flat out said it).
Mamandi has already laid out the plan and told everyone what he is going to do. This is step 1 of the process.
I love how the usual suspects come to the thread and use the "fox news" deflection so no one actually listens to the words the commie is using.

Rent controls create slums.
NYC will enjoy it for a a while, then when all the people who allowed this are gone and the issues become apparent, it will never be their fault. Pathetic.

but I don’t know how you fix what’s going on in NYC for anything close to affordable rent.
Why exactly does it need to be "fixed"?
This is always the false narrative that gets Gov't involved, then in turn the problem gets much worse down the line because Gov't policies are always shortsighted.
Remove regulations as much as feasibly possible, then let the market do its thing. There's no golden rule that states people can live wherever they want.

Mamdani lived in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens for 7 years, paying about $800 per month less than the market rate.
The difference is that the landlord charged him less to keep the apartment leased because it was sitting vacant prior. Mamdani thinks his unique situation should work for all of the city and will not significantly hurt neighborhoods and the real estate market.
He truly has zero idea about anything. Just a socialist trying to shoehorn socialist policy that always fails.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- For the first time in its history, New York's Rent Guidelines Board voted to freeze rents for both one-year and two-year leases for the city's one million rent-regulated apartments.
Maybe I'm just dumb but are landlords in NYC raising rent in the middle of lease terms and this is saying that can't happen? Or is it, the more likely scenario, where landlords can't raise rent after the lease term is up and a new one is being signed or has gone month-to-month? The way the article is phrased is confusing.

I’d be curious about this also, as you’re correct usually always has been. But I don’t think it’s ever been this high ?
Either way though the people that came before were determined to make new life for themselves. And that’s still the case I’m sure for a good amount but lot of the people coming now don’t wanna compete and just live off the system.

Lazy.
“NYC has always been a city of immigrants” doesn’t mean today’s NYC situation is the same. The sheer numbers, the legality of their migration, the welfare state, and the expectations around assimilation are all completely different. History and context matter. What else you got?

I agree with others that dilapidation and government taking is the goal. There is enough literature out there on rent control at this point that no serious person actually thinks it works for its stated purpose. Mamdani has basically said as much with regard to government control of the housing stock.

Must be nice to not have a job where you can protest all day, have someone pay for that with tax dollars, then you just have to vote yourself free rent on top of that.

It’s amazing how many useful idiots are just applauding the destruction of these large cities and our country.

You are not free in this country. Not by a long shot. You don't really own anything, you just get to say you own it as long as the government doesn't want it.
I just don't know how in the world people think its right to tell someone what they can and can't charge for a building that they own (think they own). It is ridiculous. And then they will take your property? WTF? Sad.
If they can do this, why can't they go to your business that you own that sells widgets and tell you, no you can't raise prices on widgets, you have to charge the same price for the next two years. But, what about inflation, increases in COGS, increasing expenses, increased labor costs when you socialists raise minimum wage to a stupid level? Sucks for you, we must protect the people! And in two years, we may just take your widget business from you.
