The average rent-stabilized rent is $1500. In the buildings in distress in the Bronx, the average rent is between $1100 and $1300 or less.
The problem isn’t that the message has been wrong. It’s that former lawmakers have known exactly what the problem is and are so petrified of tenant groups that they deny reality to protect their careers and then move on when the problem gets too big to ignore.

Now, Napa is insisting the vineyard’s wine tastings are a “nuisance.” Between the original fines and fees from the county’s private lawyers, the fine is now in the millions. We’re helping Lindsay fight back against this case of excessive fines.

Napa County is fining a family winery $3.5 MILLION—more than its lifetime revenue—for hosting previously approved wine tastings.
Lindsay Hoopes obtained all the required permits, and the property has had zero public complaints in over 40 years.
UPDATE: Napa is moving to collect millions from the Hoopes family before litigation concludes. The County knows we have a strong argument, but they are rushing to destroy Lindsay’s business before the courts can rule whether these fines are constitutional.
As @ZohranKMamdani becomes the first sitting Mayor to skip the ISRAEL DAY PARADE, now MORE THAN EVER, we MUST show up! @NYPDPC is deploying the most extensive NYPD & Counterterrorism plan & we will not cower or be intimidated! 🇺🇸🇮🇱
Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Thursday threw his support behind a far-left candidate and fellow Israel basher with radical positions who’s looking to knock off five-term incumbent House Rep. Adriano Espaillat. https://t.co/oYGaUZZ1PL
As governor, I won’t tax the first $50,000 of your income or the first $100,000 for couples.
Your money belongs in your pocket, not in Kathy Hochul’s slush fund for illegal migrants.
She’s spent over $8 billion on free food, free housing, free transportation, and free cell phones for people who came here illegally.
That stops when I become governor.
What makes Zohran Mamdani dangerous isn't that he's economically literate and wrong. It's that he's economically illiterate and politically skilled.
He can sell policies that sound compassionate, mobilize resentment, and win support, while the economic consequences arrive long after the applause. That's a far more dangerous combination than being merely mistaken.
@createcraig He won’t ever back down on this unless it’s forced in the courts. What better financial ground for non profits to stand on than NYC real estate. Now, reporters need to start asking- which non profits!
Mamdani doubled down today, despite the past financial woes:
"When nonprofits or tenants are in a position to take over those responsibilities, we’re going to make sure that they are equipped to do a better job than the current landlord who is violating housing law.”
“Landlords shouldn’t make a profit.”
Right… So I invest hundreds of thousands into a property, take on all the risk…
…cover the repairs, taxes, & upkeep & I’m not supposed to earn anything in return on my investment?
I provide housing for people who can’t (or don’t want to) buy yet somehow I’m the villain?
How exactly do you expect homes to exist without someone paying the actual cost?
It’s not exploitation. It’s economics
Wake up you left hypocrites
I never would have considered @spencerpratt as someone to be taken seriously but he’s proving me wrong daily. He’s spot on how Zohran Mamdani came to power — a DSA “Manchurian candidate” project 20 yrs in the making propped up by activist journalists who like to play out their “what if…” experiments with click-bait instead of doing their jobs reporting.
NEW: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon pushes back on NYC Mayor Mamdani’s calls for higher taxes, arguing that politicians should focus on fixing government rather than seeking tax hikes.
“Good policy is free.”
“Don’t try to raise more taxes or spend more money. Sit down and fix policy. And I think you can grow 1% faster. I literally believe that.”
“It’s frustrating. It hurts. It’s embarrassing. And it always hurts the civilians of our country.”
“He’s running a city of 300,000 employees now. He’s never had a job like that.”
“And I’ve seen mayors who’ve failed abysmally because they can’t administer themselves out of a paper bag, or because ideology blinds them to practical, realistic, real-world policy.”
Dimon described his recent meeting with Mamdani as “pleasant,” saying, “I said everything I wanted to say,” and offering that if he could help him, he’d “be happy to do that.”
