@DanBiancoNYC @CharlesFLehman The fucker Mamdani ran on affordability, and he’s making that shit worse.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@CaptainTripsNYC @GreasyPencil @isaiah_bb What’s the plan when SCOTUS tosses that shit?

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@DanBiancoNYC @jaymart222 @MarkLevineNYC He’s saying you don’t get housing, especially quality housing, without the fucking money to pay for that quality housing.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@flushingtenant @dcredtail Which law wasn’t being fucking enforced?

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@sparklenaloha @erik_engquist What landlord is buying now to dump money into these buildings? None.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@Atypicalissue @DaveSharma Rent freezes make that shit worse.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@sparklenaloha @erik_engquist Older NYC rent stabilized housing is increasingly nonviable as a fucking business. Even the fucking mayor argues that shit. But the land has some fucking value and if the fucked up policy changes, the building could too. It just doesn’t make any fucking sense to burn cash.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@sparklenaloha @erik_engquist You expect someone to dump $ into an investment knowing they’re either not getting that shit back or getting a shitty return?

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@i_do_sais_quoi @PhilSustainable It’s a relevant fucking question. It’s what’s going on right now with the rent stabilized shit. Far too few units for the people that want that shit so the landlord gets to pick who they want. And they’re gonna pick the rich fuckers. Why? Because they want their fucking money.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@Unit_8200 @jaymart222 So the city needs to change the fucking policy.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@LivLaughMock @DukeandDukeCB @VerneBurn69 @RealPostFolder You don’t think the rich fuckers are gonna give that shit to their friends and other rich fuckers? They want to get paid and rich people are more likely to be able to pay that shit.

When you have no fucking clue what a monopoly is:

[B @Dr_b43]

@AllIsFreeForMe @JonDavidson7111 @melissadderosa @ZohranKMamdani Large corporations and management groups own the majority of the apartments in NYC. The top 5% of the landlords control 65% of all apartments, and they own 87% of rent-stabilized units. That’s literally a monopoly-type condition. What are you even talking about?

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@DecaturTenant How does it help us that rents only go up slowly when that policy means you can’t find a fucking place at all?

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@EricLevitz He’s a fucking idiot.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@DukeandDukeCB @hashtag_whiskey @notchrisvolpe Fucking right!

Otherwise those fuckers would charge $20k for a Manhattan 1BR instead of $5k. The reason they don’t is because they wouldn’t be able to find someone willing to pay that fucking much!

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@hashtag_whiskey @notchrisvolpe No. It’s because of leverage. Otherwise they’d have empty units if they try to force those fucking rents up too aggressively.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@hashtag_whiskey @notchrisvolpe We don’t have to give them the fucking leverage to do it.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@hashtag_whiskey @notchrisvolpe Of course they fucking will. And the rent freeze gives them added leverage to do that shit.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@BillieO2 @NYCMayor How is it greed to take the option that loses you less fucking money?

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@UesVox @NYCMayor @NYCMOPT @ManhattanDA Not fucking upset but when you’re talking about a clear violation of constitutional rights, I care, whether I agree with your positions or not. When rent regulations were passed is fucking irrelevant to that shit.

[Silvio Dante @BadaBingManager]

@UesVox @NYCMayor @NYCMOPT @ManhattanDA Some of these fucking buildings were bought with rent stabilization attached. Some have been in families before that shit.

For the newer shit that gets a tax break, that may be true about not renting them, but that’s because they get a fucking tax break. The older units don’t…
