When you become truly proactive, you'll cherish what you already have, even if it's just chatting with friends or simply feeling safe for the moment: you'll feel that these things might disappear in the next second.

Imagine your family worked for a generation to save enough money to buy a brownstone occupied with rent stabilized tenants on the Upper West Side. The family financed the purchase with a mortgage from a bank based on the premise that rents and cash flow would at least keep pace with inflation so you could pay interest and principal on the mortgage and hopefully have some cash flow left as a return on your investment.

While you had rent stabilized tenants, you were led to believe that the NYC Rent Guidelines Board would be required to adjudicate rental increases each year by taking a measure of the inflation of costs to own and operate a building and setting rental increases appropriately.

You believed the RGB would do its job as the board is comprised of two representatives each for landlords and tenants and five independent representatives that represent the general public.

Now, a new mayor @NYCMayor Mamdani is elected on the promise of freezing rents. There are about two million rent stabilized renters that benefit if rents are frozen so by promising frozen rents the new candidate for mayor buys votes and wins the election.

The new mayor achieves his objective by stacking the RGB with directors who do not follow their obligations and simply vote for a rent freeze as a preordained conclusion as evidenced by the statements of an RGB director who resigned in protest for this very reason.

Meanwhile, inflation in NYC is rampant in utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, etc. and now your rents are frozen. Real estate is a high operating leverage business which means that frozen rents and inflating expenses will cause property cash flows to plummet and your after debt service cash flow to go negative.

I expect therefore there will be hundreds if not thousands of small NYC property owners who are now or will shortly be underwater on their mortgages, and without any cash flow to maintain their assets.

If you remember the images of the South Bronx burning in the mid 1970s, you can viscerally understand what is happening to small NYC real estate owners.

While the rent freeze appears to be short-term good news (long term it will lead to poorly maintained apartments) for 2 million NYC renters, it is bad news for the 2 million or more renters in the 1 million market rate apartments in the City because a landlord-hostile market is not likely to add meaningfully more supply and market rents will likely continue to escalate at a high rate.

All of this seems quite unfair and wrong unless I missing something?

Why am I wrong?

For disclosure: I do not own any NYC rental apartments.

🚨 JOHN BOLTON FACING PRISON TIME FOR MISHANDLING CLASSIFIED INFO!

Ex-Trump advisor expected to plead guilty today to illegal retention of classified notes compiled for his anti-Trump book.

He’s reportedly striking a deal, paying a $2 million fine, and could still face up to 5 years in prison (or decades if he fights it and loses).

Funny how the “never-Trump” crowd lectures everyone on norms until the rules apply to them.

Accountability matters. No one is above the law, not even Bolton.

Today, I can announce we have secured a full independent grooming gangs inquiry across Keighley and the wider Bradford district.

This is a watershed moment and marks a significant turning point in the pursuit of justice, truth and accountability for victims and survivors right across our area. It comes almost two decades after Anne Cryer first had the courage to raise this issue in Parliament.

The inquiry will be fully independent of Bradford Council.

It will focus on examining failures in local and national safeguarding systems, evidence handling, institutional accountability, and investigate the role of ethnicity, race and culture, and allegations of systematic abuse covered up by authorities.

It will have statutory powers to compel witnesses and evidence.

And where there is evidence of wrongdoing or cover-ups, it will be able to refer matters to the police.

No one will be able to hide.

When I first got elected, six and a half years ago, some of the first meetings I had were with local survivors like Fiona Goddard.

Listening to their accounts of this crime, I was confronted with horrors that I will never forget.

I made a promise to them then that I would do everything in my power to ensure their voices were heard and the truth would come out.

Since then, I have consistently campaigned for this inquiry.

I want to pay tribute to Fiona Goddard and the many others from across Keighley whom I have met - without them, none of this would be possible.

Fiona is one of the bravest individuals I have ever met. Her extraordinary courage in speaking out and becoming a leading voice for survivors nationally should be an inspiration to us all - both locally in Keighley and across the UK.

Now, after tireless campaigning and lobbying, their voices are finally being heard.

I also want to recognise the work of leading child abuse lawyer David Greenwood, who has helped bring vital cases and evidence forward. He has been crucial to this campaign. Working with him, it has been clear for all to see that the scale of this issue across the Bradford District will dwarf that of the likes of Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford.

At times, our calls for a full inquiry were dismissed, or rejected altogether. Yet despite this we refused to give up.

For many years, political leaders from across our region, including the previous Bradford Council Leader Susan Hinchcliffe, the Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin and Deputy Mayor for Policing, Alison Lowe repeatedly rejected our calls for an inquiry.

It was my firm view that these refusals mirrored the same patterns of denial seen in towns like Rotherham and Telford. There, decades of abuse were hidden in plain sight until independent inquires finally forced the truth into the open.

It was deeply frustrating, but nevertheless welcome that it was only once a national inquiry was recommended by Baroness Casey in June 2025, supported by the Home Secretary, that these same local leaders changed their position, and supported our calls.

Whilst no inquiry can undo the pain and suffering they have endured, it can help ensure the truth is uncovered and that those who were failed finally receive the answers they have spent years fighting for.

And finally.

One of the most difficult lessons of this entire process is that survivors have had to become campaigners themselves just to be heard.

That should never have been necessary.

It speaks to a deep and painful failure in Britain right now, and of the institutions at every level of the British state.

Now we owe it to survivors, and to thousands across our area who suffered in silence, to see this through together.

This inquiry must seek the truth - however horrific it may be. And bring about justice to those who have been failed for far too long.

I will not stop until we achieve this.

For the first time in months, the national average gas price has fallen below $4 per gallon after topping $4.51 just a month ago, according to AAA.

Drivers in states like Georgia, Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and Minnesota are seeing even lower prices.

At the same time, oil is heading lower as additional supply hits the market. While the trend is welcome news for consumers, prices remain significantly higher than they were this time last year.

The price changes come as President Trump says Americans should expect to see gas and oil get even cheaper thanks to the administration’s new deal with Iran.

🚨4 Young Americans Killed By Illegal Alien in DUI Crash🚨

Michael Salomon Rosario-Cruz — an illegal alien from Mexico — killed 4 Oklahoma young Americans in a head-on collision.

👉Kiercy Hickson, Haliegh Salazar, Quincy Jones, & Brad Palmer are now permanently separated from their families👈

Rosario-Cruz is one of President Obama’s DACA children.

He was drinking & driving.

He was also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm.

How many more Americans have to die because of illegal aliens before democrats care?

How many more of our daughters will we allow to be stolen from us?

Where were the Black Lives Matter marches for Quincy Jones & Brad Palmer?

There were none.

These were black lives murdered by an illegal alien & democrats wouldn’t dare bring attention to them because it’s the wrong type of tragedy.

👉The truth is that democrats care more about power & votes from illegal aliens than protecting American lives👈
