Hey @KennyBurgosNY 👋
@katelynnulrich used to do coverage on @HunterBoone’s tenant organizing where his landlord was neglecting and illegally destabilizing his RS units
This landlord playbook to destabilize illegally is what @HousingNY works to protect
English
@housingny @KennyBurgosNY a rent rollback would ensure working class families can survive after the 12% rent increase that resulted in a 30% profit increase, from these last 3 years, would force landlords to actually invest back into their RS properties
care to comment on those numbers?

So much Kenny Burgos disinformation needs to be combatted by the @TenantBloc

so @claireforny was the only NY-7 candidate who showed up to support a rent freeze at tonights historical RGB hearing!!
(and that’s me standing behind her 🤓)
Claire Valdez@claireforny
Landlord profits are up while New Yorkers choose between paying the rent and paying for food. The RGB must freeze the rent on ALL leases. And I’ll fight alongside tenants across NYC to make sure it does in June.

The cost of City FHEPS is increasing because the rent is too high for too many New Yorkers. This isn’t an issue of runaway spending, it’s a symptom of years of real estate rent hikes, stagnant wages, and an economy that works for the billionaires and not the workers.
Bernadette Hogan@bern_hogan
.@GovKathyHochul comes down hard on CityFHEPS growth: “We’re trying very hard to get them focused on a program that is growing 4% a month..It is unsustainable.” “When we see budgets that are blowing up like a hockey stick..they need to make some decisions.”

The new Chief Brand Officer at @WorkingFamilies flips Brownstones in Bed Stuy
NYS Senator Julia Salazar@SalazarSenate
To no one's surprise, most of the homes flipped were in neighborhoods of color. Home flipping makes homeownership & rent unaffordable, and displaces lifelong residents My and @CatalinaCruzNY 's End Predatory Home Flipping Act (S574) would help stop this bkreader.com/non-profit-com…

Outrageous! Every eviction rips communities apart and causes lasting harm to families and our neighborhoods.
As rising housing costs squeeze more and more New Yorkers, our city and state governments must act urgently to keep people housed, not aid in displacement.
Chi Ossé@OsseChi
Council Member Chi Ossé was just arrested while defending his constituent, Carmella Charrington, from eviction. This is the result of deed theft and the ongoing displacement of Black homeowners in Bed-Stuy. Our office is closely monitoring this situation and will provide updates as this develops.

@KennyBurgosNY LMAO the comments on this article are ripping you apart

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

Zohran is going to break ppls heart way more then AOC because he plays the fence so well one day he can sound like a leader of resistance the next a shill for Israel. I knew something was off the moment he said absolutely nothing while he knew I was in Prison in Israel.

@VickieforNYC With all due respect Council Woman, you need to resign office. Your obession with Xenophobia is an embarrassment to the council you represent.

@starr_union @katz_morris I'm taking about socialism overall. People who believe in that have given up. I do believe people should have housing. The ways that Cea and our Mayor want to get there I disagree with totally. Take care of yourself and each other is from Jerry Springer...Lol
Queens, NY 🇺🇸 English
Cea Weaver has worked tirelessly to address the housing crisis, protect tenants from bad landlords, and to win a city where no one has to choose between a roof over their head or staying in the place they love.
NY is lucky to have her serving in city government.

@Stacks30 @katz_morris your bio literally says to take care of one another but you don’t think people
should have housing because they “have given up”. you don’t even understand what you’re saying and have no self awareness.
