Government intervention in housing has not been beneficial to either landlords or tenants. How many government subsidized projects for housings have been successful? The ones I know of are all slums, in fact when I was a kid we didn’t call them slums, just “the projects”.
That wasn't always the case: when I was a kid, my parents were friends with a Belgian couple who lived in NYC public housing: it was spartan, but clean and safe, because the city enforced standards.
Public housing started during WWII when material shortages and shortages of labor stopped most new construction.
Once public housing became simply "more free stuff for unaccountable minorities," they became crime-ridden s---holes.
Mamdani’s showcase “affordable housing” unit in the Bronx has 194 code violations. Clean up your own mess, commie, before attacking others.
I’m guessing a good defense for Pinnacle would be arbitrary and capricious enforcement of city codes.
