The path forward is clear: The state government must take responsibility for New York's deficient housing production, and create real protections for the millions of renters who can still be kicked out of their homes for any reason.

The housing deal is out.

New Yorkers are experiencing skyrocketing rents, rising homelessness, and widespread housing instability. Our housing crisis can only be solved with comprehensive state-level action that ensures we see new homes across NY. This housing deal is not that.

Absolutely bizarre statement from ANHD that is seemingly neutral on the proposed gutting of good cause eviction and overall demonstrates that they’re less a coalition of community orgs and more a lobbying group for non-profit developers.

'New York is home to three of the top ten cities for child poverty in the country. More than two in five kids in Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo live in poverty.'

The real and perceived electoral power of Small Real Estate is why New York’s Good Cause Eviction proposal is being gutted imo.

While Big Real Estate used its $ to stoke the fire of Small RE in a mostly failed effort to shield itself, Small RE got entirely carved out as usual.

Good morning. Please meet these shameless wealthy Americans who insist they’re not wealthy because they don’t want to pay higher taxes

“If the community board’s anti-housing factions don’t think they can win this argument on the merits, then trying to do so via procedural jimmying is wholly inappropriate.”

thought this might be about the housing deal

LOL this IAI reform won’t help any of the decrepit vacant units that ostensibly are the reason the reform is on the table but it could help juice rents on old 421a rent stabilized units/other relatively high rent stabilized units like those that tend to be owned by REBNY members!

There MUST be a good cause compromise in NY budget talks happening — bc both sides pissed

The governor and legislative leadership are trying to craft a version of good cause eviction that avoids headlines in the New York Post about welfare queens in luxury units or poor innocent 8 unit landlords. And just like w bail rollbacks, the Post will go after them anyway!
