NYC, Mamdani and why Rent Control does. not. work.

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Again here are the do nothing democrats who have been in power in NYC for decades messaging on how they were too incompetent to have any impact on changing the material conditions of peoples lives YET they wonder why they’re losing

Rent caps aren’t new in New York. So why are you advocating for them?

 

[Left.A1]

Did you read the article? It wasn't the cap. It was the loophole. Landlords abused temporary housing status and raised the rent on a technicality.

He doesn't read anything he gets his dem messaging and spams

Moralism is overrated. We lost the popular vote already. I don’t care if Cuomo or Adams are scumbags. They got shyt done.

Adams didn't do jack shyt for this city so saying he got shyt done is full of shyt.

Cuomo did some shyt but he's is brought and paid for and oo yea tried to cover up a whole bunch of elderly people dying in nursing home under his watch so he has that in common with Trump plus he's a sex pest.

Saying moralism is overrated when we see the bull bull Trump and Administration does every day is freaking mind boggling. We are seeing in real time when you have no moral no respect for people in real time how good is the county looking right now.

Are you immune to communication?

You guys pushing fears over “gentrification” prevented builders from doing more and protecting restrictive zoning!

It’s immoral to lie to people about keeping rent down when you pursue policy that will raise rents and keep property in disrepair.

 

[Gloxina]

So who should New Yorkers vote for? Cuomo


You were right about voting for Kamala, but things have gone off the rails now. We need to completely shake it up in every corner of this nation

We byke

Lmaoooo..

You think this will work..

Nah..

What they will do is what they're doing down here in south Florida..

Build a bunch of apartments and label them as (Luxury apartments) 2500 for a 1 bdrm..

The system is going to eat us alive..

Everyone is building in one area for people who dont live there..

All the developers here are building for New Yorkers and wealthy overseas people..

The implementation of rent control is usually a one act play with no follow up. Mamdani is proposing to do away with that. To freeze rent at 0% and increase the supply of housing by 200,000, which alleviates the supply issue and should in theory cause the price of housing to reduce. Also, kicking out landlords that don't maintain their buildings, and moving people off rent control if they make over a certain amount so that they can't horde the home.

Whether any of that works remains to be seen, but if that's what the people want, I say go for it, but in earnest. I get sick of people with ideas running, they get the mandate and then get hamstrung by jackasses that have no interest in any form of government working outside of whatever it is that the people who paid them want. If it fails fine, but it fails because it was stressed and pushed beyond what was capable. Not because of greedy b*stards.

All those bodega owners complaining about a government run grocery store were the same ones that were selling ziplock bags with 3 eggs in them for an arm and a leg.

Keep thinking them Neo Liberals gonna save you

Democrats like you is why Trump is in office....come with the same outdated arguments and wants to keep the status quo going that dont work......but get mad when a politician actually comes with new ideas that will make the average american lives easier

Establishment Dems hate progessives so much they'll break party lines and run interference for maga jus to hurt progressives.

A truly pathetic political party, that stands for nothing.

Nap simply put frozen rent saves regular people money, therefore it works.
All these paragraphs you're posting is just trying to complicate something that's really simple.

They can still adjust rent. They can't blow people out. Rent control wouldn't be a thing if unscrupulous landlords didn't get the game fukked up.

It's working for the ppl I know that got it
In fact I know someone in Harlem that basically stopped working cause she was making so much money subleasing rooms in her rent controlled house

No it didn't, rents skyrocketed long before the rent cap was put in place you fukking moron. I lived in Berlin at the time, don't try to tell me things about a city I know better than you.

Mamdani's rise is some suspect sh1t and he's lying his ass off damn well knowing he does not have the power to do any of that from his mayor seat. Theres a board that handles that. Plus the state has to approve of it too. Sounds like a bunch of ignorant ass voters who dont even do their research believing the words of a fraud ass bullshytter. I dont trust him one bit and think theres something more sinister behind him.

True, there is a board. The Rent Guidelines Board. But he would be the person that appoints all the members.

i think Mamdani's a good guy, and sincere about what he wants to do. but some of this is definitely pie in the sky bullshyt

it'll be interesting to see how he does. all i know is that he better not oversee a drop in quality of life, or increase in crime. republicans will be all over that

You can do both rent control to keep people in existing housing and build more housing.

 

[Sauce Mane]

The housing problem in nyc is supply and demand issue. We simply don’t have enough housing and we’re also not building enough, this creates high demand and landlords can keep raising rents because there are people who will pay the price. Until we start building enough units, no policy or rent freeze will bring down or stabilize rent prices

 

[Green Ranger]

Blasio froze rent not once multiple times and it didn't lead to landlord and property being in unkempt conditions. So Mamdani isn't lying

While you begging up Adams who let rent prices rise under his watch. I didnt heard you say anything about that tho.

People in Berlin actually disagree:

You post shyt just to post. But it doesn't align with the point you are trying to make. You said....YOU said that the reason Berlin is in the state it's in is because of rent control. I pointed out that you posted said that the froze rent but a loophole allowed landlords to go around it. Instead of 7 dollars per square meter landlords were charging upwards of 50 per thanks to the loophole. Now you post reddit conversations without any details other than "it's bad in Berlin". There is no context. Even the very first person you posted said there are many different reasons. There are other people chiming in with no context to their living situation. Are they paying a bunch because they are stuck having to rent one of the loopholed "temp" housing apartments?

You are more concerned with trying to LOOK like you are debating and winning an argument as opposed to actually posting relevant information. Stop it.
