Your tax dollars at work and play.

So I can bring my cat into the grocery store as emotional support?

Co-Op City doesn’t allow pets? Oh yeah, it’s such a gem of a building, who would want to sully it with dogs and cats.

I approve of service dogs, but they are going a bit to far with “emotional-support dogs”. If you want a pet for company, I approve completely, but get a home and a life where you are not imposing on the property owner. [Note: when I had rental property, I permitted pets, but that was my choice.]

Emotional support dogs for people who are “clinically” depressed (a huge segment of the population) is ludicrous.

By all means - get a dog for emotional support - but don't demand that people treat your (usually untrained and unnecessary) dog as if it were a seeing eye dog for a blind person (totally trained to completely necessary).

emotional-support dogs?

Every pet can meet this description!

My Pembroke Welsh Corgi can definitely cheer me up, but emotional support?

I’d need emotional support, too, if I lived in the Bronx.

No mention if there was a valid reason to have an emotional attachment pet in the coop.

What if this building was designed to house people with pet allergies?

What the gov’t (at any level) can't tax, they regulate. With regulation comes such forms of idiocy.
