Housing has costs and NY has forced affordability on the rent regulated housing without accounting for it.
Now thousands of buildings are in distress and a rent freeze will threaten that very housing lawmakers want to protect. When 100,000+ apartments have expenses that exceed revenue, it’s a recipe for disaster.
If we’re serious about tackling the issue of affordability then government’s job is to reduce the cost to operate housing and target subsidies for tenants in need. That’s how we help tenants, improve housing and get on a path that is sustainable, not cheap political points.
New York Magazine@NYMag
“The Bronx, to this day, has buildings that are almost 100 percent — if not 100 percent — regulated. And those are the buildings that are struggling the most, that have the highest violation counts,” says Kenny Burgos, the 31-year-old former assemblyman and CEO of the New York Apartment Association, a group whose members include property owners and managers of some 500,000 rent-stabilized apartments. He’s making the case that, as things stand with our current housing laws, keeping apartments in those buildings habitable means tenants will have to pay more. Burgos knows it’s an unpopular opinion, especially in a city where the majority of people rent. And it’s especially unpopular now, since the mayor was elected on a promise to freeze the rents on those very apartments. Burgos may spend his days fighting Mayor Mamdani’s housing policies, but he also likes the guy. He was two years behind him at Bronx Science, though the pair didn’t meet until they were both elected to the State Assembly in 2020. They quickly hit it off. Now, their ideologies will go head-to-head at the annual Rent Guidelines Board meetings that kick off in March, where tenant reps, landlord groups, and housing wonks make their case for how much to allow stabilized rents to increase, if at all. The potential four-year rent freeze Mamdani promised is on the line. Burgos and his team have spent hours planning the arguments they’ll make to the board. “I’m obviously going to be painted as the heel,” Burgos says. “But I just know, based on the data and based on the trend line, that this is not sustainable.” Read Matthew Sedacca’s full conversation with Burgos: nymag.visitlink.me/8Ga4iY

Statement in response to the NYSERDA memo regarding the costs of the #CLCPA
Rebecca C. Lewis@_rebeccaclewis
NEW: NYSERDA has sent a memo to the governor's office on the "likely costs of CLCPA compliance. This is after both Gov. Hochul and her budget director cited costs in the thousands for New Yorkers. The memo says upstaters could face up to $4,000 in costs and NYC residents $2,300

We appreciate Governor Hochul's inclusion of critical pro-business recommendations outlined in the 'Blueprint for New York – Creating a Roadmap for Change' report in her 2026 State of the State and the Proposed Fiscal Budget.
The report was compiled after a full year of focus groups with over 500 business leaders and 40 associations.
We urge the legislature to work with the governor this year to enact pro-business policies and reforms.

Proud to hear from NYC Council Speaker @JulieMenin this morning on the issues that matter most to employers— many of which were recommendations in The Public Policy Institute’s report, Blueprint for New York – Creating a Roadmap for Change, including -
+ Cutting overregulation
+ Keeping financial services jobs in New York
+ Standing up for small businesses
Smart policy = a stronger economy for our entire state.

@SheehanPodcast I would love Kevin to get Charlie Casserly on to discuss the changes in DC. Charlie made a comment a while back when Kevin had him on that Washington ran a college offense. I am interested in that comment and league perception of Kilt's offense.

The #Commanders reportedly have long term concerns with Jayden Daniels’ sustainability.
It would “shock a lot of people, but not all” if they looked for a QB in the first 3 rounds of the draft.

New Yorkers are builders, it’s what we do best. But instead of building an economy that works for everyone, some state senators are considering a bill that would make it harder to do business in NY, eliminate 600k jobs, and drive businesses out of state.

@john_keim It is like people forgot the great fantasy football team of Bruce Smith and Neon Deon. Oh yeah, Jeff George. Free agency supplements mostly. We got a rare bird in Tunsil. Deep breath DC Nation! It all won’t happen in one off-season.
