For those not following, the sub rehab lawsuits (NY v. Peak Capital and Balanced Housing Solutions v. Visnauskis) going through both the state and federal courts are totally fascinating. Much more of a circus than the rent stabilization case (SPONY) but also harder to understand.
Why is $110B not enough to provide for a quality city? Can’t they just be thoughtful about spending and review the budget before proposing tax hikes? #NYCMayoralDebate
@ZohranKMamdani If you want to improve a relationship you have to communicate with your counterparty. Not ignore and antagonize them. The goal should be improvement, NOT war.
@BilldeBlasio@andrewcuomo OF COURSE WE SHOULD COMMUNICATE AND HAVE A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WHITE HOUSE YOU DODO!! IT PROVIDES NEW YORK ZERO BENEFIT TO ANTAGONIZE THE UNITED STATES
@HenryRosoff@ZohranKMamdani@JerryNadler What a waste of time. What happened to focusing on the lives of New Yorkers. This “rally” against our president will make things more expensive for New Yorkers. Guaranteed.
Zohran Mamdani and his allies in the DSA are openly laying out their radical ‘Project DSA 2026’ agenda for state-run families, indoctrinating our children, and dismantling the very fabric of our society.
This is exactly why we must defeat Mamdani and ensure he never gets anywhere near Gracie Mansion or City Hall.
@bradlander What happened to rents since then for everyone who isn’t lucky enough to find a rent stabilized unit? IT INCREASED DRASTICALLY! You created true inequality. Affordable housing for the few, completely independent of need.
@ceaweaver How does rent stabilization “work”? It is obviously a complete failure and has caused an affordability crisis on the apartments that are available to everyone… not just the select few lucky enough to find a rent stabilized unit.
@SenSanders The democrats make it incredibly difficult for any normal person to start a business. I’m learning this first hand. Major regulation and legal when trying to do the right thing. The answer isn’t robbing from Peter to pay Paul. We need to open the gates for young entrepreneurs.
@ZohranKMamdani You really need to clarify what you mean by freeze the rent on your campaign slogan. You will be aiming to freeze the rent on rent stabilized units. These units average less than $2,000/mo for any size unit. This past year the rent increased by 3%.
Someone making 6-figures should not benefit from your agenda which is supposed to make things easier for those who need it. The adjustments you mention are shooting blind.
