22,000 units come online in NYC this year. About 16,000 market rate, 6,000 affordable. The 80 to 120 AMI band barely exists. The market units pay for the affordable ones. In a mixed income building the lender underwrites the blended rent roll. The restricted units come in low.

If you are a person that looks at this interaction as creepy it says a lot more about you then it does about Joe Biden.

I can't even imagine the ego it takes to arrange a New York Times photo shoot for your announcement of living together while separated.

Let me say this as clear as I can. Zohran Mamdani is lying. He’s lying to New Yorkers and he’s lying to rent stabilized renters. He’s lying that profits are up 12% when 200,000 apartments are bankrupt. He’s lying that he can promise rent freezes from an independent board to

"Change is coming," Zohran Mamdani says in response to Mayor Eric Adams' statement on rent hike vote for rent-stabilized tenants tonight. As we wrote this morning, Mamdani is telling voters this is the last hike they'll face for four years. cityandstateny.com/policy/2025/06…

Nothing defines the current leftist movement better then a white rapper from California, who lives in Brooklyn, getting thousands of likes on a post where he suggests that the likely next mayor should shun contact from an extremely popular and effective United States President,

A man running for mayor of the largest city in the country with the most expensive housing operating cost in the world should not be this clueless about the cost of housing. Property taxes in this time have increased 180% Liability insurance has increased 800-1000% Utility

Today, our 1 bedroom rent stabilized apartment in Astoria costs us $2000/month. In 1984, this same apartment cost $290.60/month. What is this, if not theft?

Zohran has Trump-level loyalty from his young socialist base. Dude is an Assemblymember who passed a couple of bills but just appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. That doesn't just happen. And The biggest threat to his campaign, his potential mayoralty, etc. is that fact his

There is a huge difference between median apartment rent and the median available apartment rent of a city. In NYC the median apartment rent is $1800-2000 The median available apartment rent is closer to $3800-4000 You need to reduce operating costs to lower median apartment

Since Gothamist has posted this same article 35 million times in the last 3 days I felt the need to clear some things up. The cost to renovate these apartments averages 80-150k (which is still 300k per apartment cheaper than NYCHA) and the owner has to spend the money first

The city will reimburse some landlords up to $50,000 to repair and rent out “warehoused” apartments. Just one property owner applied, and didn't follow through: bit.ly/4gdbI68

The average free market lease renewal in New York City is $4,025. The average rent stabilized rent is $1,475. In the Bronx, it’s $1,250. Operating costs are now averaging $1,400 citywide. This is why 200,000 units of housing, including those already being run by nonprofit

How can we have an honest conversation about housing regulations and costs when one side proposes fact based solutions that have evidence and the other side says… because a boiler ( that already requires a master plumber) in a public housing building wasn’t properly being worked

Instead of wasting days debating about what bubble Zohran filled out during college, people should be far more concerned that his housing freeze plan is based on lies. 1-Rent-stabilized housing profits are not up 12%, but instead a quarter of the city’s rent-stabilized housing

In 2019 the NY state legislature passed new rent laws they claimed would make New York rents affordable or at least prevent them from getting worse. It’s destroyed the housing in rent-stabilized buildings while rents in free market units have spiked. All of these results were
