>how dare you hold me accountable for the misinformation I spread & the words that I use

• you

grow up, pussy.

My mom worked in a factory that was torn down, for over 20 years, she passed of a quick moving cancer. The companies that were there and were part of the contamination were supposed to track people who lived and worked in the area to see if they developed any abnormalities, the community never received information on how it was being done.

No idea what the drama is but I know she works a “real job” too, and I’m shocked they haven’t fired her. She is such a spectacle

Jack's Service on Summit Ave. in the heights is terrific. Reasonably priced, and honest, to the point where they once talked me out of an expesive repair!

Jesus Christ, man. It is a fucking phrase.

Its also called refinancing, you schlub.

Of course we shouldn't entrust all new construction to giant companies.

That's just another form of restricted supply.

Missing middle housing should be legalized (and now is legalized across good portions of the city, and a number of small projects have been approved).

Why aren't those affordable, you ask? Because even small local developers play by supply and demand. Joe from down the street does not have any special interest in giving you a sweet deal. Plus they have to pay high land costs even if their construction winds up cheaper and they don't have amenities.

It's also the same principle behind new cars not being affordable while used cars are, you need to make enough new stuff that people start moving out of the old ones, thus lowering the price.

Okay, how about since 1971, my guy.

The lowest they've ever been in recorded history was during an unprecedented pandemic, and even then the lowest average for 30 year was mid 2s.

Absolutely no one worth their word would categorize this as "near zero for years."

Abatements are logarithmic. The bulls of the abatement is in the first several years then there’s a long tail.

1. Northern NJ and NYC are in the same housing market. People living in NYC move here all the time (not to mention other states). It's because NYC doesn't build nearly enough for their population.

2. You disagreed with the statement that "housing is significantly more affordable relative to local incomes in places like Houston" and implied you have to go to Katy to find rent below 2k, which is just completely false and easily disproven with a quick trip to Zillow. Literally yesterday I considered moving to Houston for much cheaper housing prices.

Don’t forget labor. Minimum wage is going up, and there’s a shortage of labor in pretty much all blue collar jobs.

Labor costs for a typical building are way outpacing inflation right now. From door staff to plumbers.

Classic vaguebooking

Those buildings are only viable if rents continue to go upwards. If banks had any reason to doubt future trajectory they wouldn’t be financing it.

Nobody invests in something they plan to lose money in, and those buildings are expensive to build and even more expensive in the long run to maintain.

Are there any precedent for what is an unconscionable rent increase?

Yeah that video made me furious. I looked at some of their other videos though and to their credit, they're not wrong 100% of the time. They even have a video about how landlords should tip their good tenants in order to keep them, in the form of lowering rent, unit upgrades, etc.

I think legally they have to offer it to the public for non-discriminatory reasons. But, if I give them someone's info straight away, I don't see why they wouldn't at least consider them and let them apply.

Idk the grove street one has historically had good prices on in season produce (e.g. squash, cucumbers) and it is typically tastier than ShopRite. No shade to ShopRite

Maybe try going back further than a year, my guy.

Or extra or ctown

>There is only one solution and it's getting New York City to build enough housing so their residents stop moving here.

100%, only it needs to be the suburbs as well as the city. The town I grew up in on Long Island is 35 minutes from Penn station, has two rail stops, and zero multifamily development.

Okay cool, thank you. I'll definitely look them up!

Doesn’t Jerry Walker give free produce on weekends at the park on Johnston sometimes berry lane?

Isn’t there a farmers market by Harmon St. and grand Ave by St. Patrick’s Church?

What happened to the farmers market on Lafayette in Rev Ercel Webb Park?
