@Cribdilla @MarkLevineNYC @grok how many illegal immigrants live in NYC ?
Would this number contribute to higher rent prices in nyc?
English
@shaig @MarkLevineNYC Blaming illegals for high rents lacks a basic understanding of the utility function of real estate.
Demand and supply prices for a given level of utility.
Stop scapegoating illegals for high rents. It’s a nativist trope that simply doesn’t hold water.

Rents in NYC have just hit an all-time high.
Median market rate in June…
Manhattan: $5,295/mo (+8.2% year-over-year)
Brooklyn: $4,350 (+8.1%)
NYC’s housing affordability crisis is at DefCon 1. We need to push harder on every front to address our housing shortage.
Update zoning, invest more City $ in affordable units, lower the time & cost City bureaucracy imposes on construction, get 1000s of vacant regulated units back on the market. We need bold action. This is a crisis.

Would this number contribute to increasing rent prices in nyc ?
English
@shaig @MarkLevineNYC I really don't think they are. Just trying to figure out how one the smallest, poorest groups might be so responsible for the rent increases.
English
@drrichjlaw @MarkLevineNYC Why would they need to be paying $5K ? Rents are up across the city.
English
@shaig @MarkLevineNYC What percentage of renters in New York, paying $5k a month in rent, are illegal immigrants?
English
@aussieflya @MarkLevineNYC Yes. But it is very neighborhood dependent .
English
@shaig @MarkLevineNYC Do you think Manhattan rents chance if all illegals are removed from the city?
English
@MarkLevineNYC #4 is the easiest solution but the Mayor is against it , by the end of his term, rents will continue to be at an all time high unfortunately. Perhaps you & other city officials can convince him to change his mind.

There are fours ways to reduce rents
1) Reduce demand by stopping new legal & illegal immigration
2) reduce demand by moving out illegal immigrants
3) Increase supply but building more , reduce permitting bureaucracy , creating financial incentives
4) increase supply by removing rent caps (many units are sitting empty )
#3 is being done (partially) & unfortunately it won't be sufficient , as demand is increasing as a faster pace
English
@APompliano That wont be sufficient enough

Rent in NYC just hit a new all-time high.
Median rent in Manhattan rose 8% over the last year to $5,295/month.
This is insane.
We must build more housing immediately.

Rep. Ro Khanna said his office alerted the U.S. embassy in Israel of his visit to the West Bank, where he said he was detained by Israeli settlers, but Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Dr. Michael Leiter tells @margbrennan, “There was not an alert. There was a question about visas, that is all.” He adds, “When we requested he coordinate the trip with us, he rejected that by basically staying silent. So, that’s unfortunate. This whole incident is unfortunate.”

Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey was a patriot and dedicated public servant. He loved South Carolina and America, and dedicated decades to defending both.
Jeanette and I are praying for him and his family — may he rest in peace.

@RabbiPoupko @RoKhanna and the police were
brandishing American made handguns

Congressman @RoKhanna: "I am currently detained by the NYPD at a traffic light stop in New York.
I Ro Khanna, a sitting member of congress, had to wait a full hour in traffic.
This is solid proof of apartheid and crimes against humanity".

Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.
When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention.
They made a huge mistake.
You will be hearing more soon. nytimes.com/2026/07/11/us/…
