It should not be for government to say.
Having been, as a young man, rent-jacked out of an apartment though, certainly can see why renters want these kind of laws.
You get what you vote for.
As the socialists gain more power in New York, the flow of private capital into New York City and the state is declining. Who in their right mind would invest in a place that has no real regard for private property rights? No amount of Federal aid or tax increases will make up for the lack of private capital investment.
I’ve turned down quite a few opportunities to rent property. No thanks!
Remember “private property”? It’s what leftists hate with a passion. They can’t seize all of it just yet, so they have come up with a scheme to deny you the use of your property while transferring your money to individuals who will vote democrat.
It’s all part of the march towards communism that NY and CA are leading.
In fact, this is even better than just seizing your property. You get to keep paying the taxes, the mortgage and the insurance plus you get to do the maintenance, and you delusionally think you actually own the property. They’re really smart, these democrats!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank New York. Your drive to craziness has lead to a flood of people here in NJ. Yes, that’s right. You have gone so bat Shiite crazy that you are actually outdoing New Jersey and making it seem like a great place to live. And for me that means I have a bidding war on my house. Thank you New York, thank you!!!
A have a friend from Argentina. He said its similar there. The rental market often comes down having thugs on hire to roust a deadbeat tenant from your property.
Not surprising, at all.
Remember, to the Left housing is a human right, go figure.
“Rent control coming to a neighborhood near you. Not just NYC!!”
...EXACTLY, and for those RINO-haters who don’t think it can get worse (so you sit out elections), well, here’s something coming nationally, once the Democrats have the votes they need to pass it.
Just a small example of what they’ll do, after making your guns illegal (of course).
CA is going to do the same thing.
