I thought it was a reference to the mayor of NYC. Big Ugly Bill.
It doesn't look like I can read it without subscribing.

Ah yes, rent control. Or as I like to call it "how to keep lower income democratic voters, that are dependent on the system, in a small, yet densely populated area -- for the purpose of winning elections."

The tenant protection bill passed today and expected to be signed by FUAC is crippling to the landlords. Another nail in the coffin of NYC.
Yup. The city and/or state will raise taxes beyond what the landlords are allowed to raise rents and then the landlords will have to eat the difference.
Unfortunately people would screw themselves but I'd like to see it played out this way. If the state won't allow landlords to raise rents to cover the tax increase then the landlords should stop paying the taxes. Once all the properties are seized by the banks or counties then we'll see how long these "rent control" laws last.

Now, now.
In fairness, it also disincentives landlords from maintaining or improving their properties.
So those people also get to live in deteriorating shitholes. Which the politicians blame on capitalist slumlords.

I'm sure they are counting on that.
There would be an uproar if the government seized the properties without some pretense.
Just one more step toward communism. When the government owns your house they can set all sorts of rules they can't implement for the rest of us.

No need to squeeze on taxes. The real plan is to have the city seize buildings with open violations (because landlords can't afford to fix them). Count on that in next year's session.
Of course the buildings will then be sold in sweetheart deals to DiBozo's cronies.

If its ten bucks a year but its sitting there not making you any money, it's too much.

You’re fine with it in NYC now but the D legislature wants to impose it statewide.

Subsonic is correct, there is a push to roll it out statewide.

It's not just a push, it's been passed, and Cuomo will sign it.

Once that happens any locality can enact rent control. It's not being forced on municipalities by the state (yet), but expect to see cities and towns upstate rolling it out.
