My house's plumbing had a problem and it's half 2 in the morning before I'm going to bed

But thankfully the lil treat I bought myself from the last awful thing that happened will probably arrive in 8 hours anyway

So silver linings?

LaGuardia and FDR did similar things during the Depression to help the populace survive. How telling, rich people back then hated them too.

lol this landlord blog is soooo pissed about Mamdani holding landlords accountable and this email is hilarious
THEREALDEAL Truth over talking REALITY points BY ERIK ENGQUIST CHECK FOR SUBSCRIBERS | A column that cuts through the spin, shatters the myths and delivers the unfiltered truth about how real estate really works. Mamdani orders show trials to shame landlords REALITY CHECK A show trial is "held in public with the intention of influencing or satisfying public opinion, rather than of ensuring justice," according to Oxford. That sounds like what Mayor Zohran Mamdani's "rental ripoff" hearings will be. His executive order asks tenants and activists to testify about "illegal, unfair, abusive, deceptive, or unconscionable landlord practices." He doesn't call for testimony about unfair, abusive or unconscionable practices by tenants, although landlords have lots of horror stories. His order doesn't request facts about how laws and economic forces have made maintaining rentstabilized housing so challenging. No, these hearings are only for landlord shaming. New York City has thousands of landlords. Of course some are bad apples. In a functional housing market, with ample housing supply and no rent regulation, bad landlords would go out of business because tenants would move. But Mamdani favors price controls, where tenants stay with a bad landlord because the rent is kept artificially low — as is the vacancy rate, so tenants can't easily move. Instead of normalcy, where landlords and tenants try to make each other happy, our system relies on enforcement, which is always going to fall short. This will be a recurring narrative at the "rental ripoff" hearings. But is it fair to call them show trials? How do we know that "ensuring justice" isn't the aim of these hearings? For one thing, no one will be fact-checking, rebutting or even questioning any testimony. For an example of how this might go, at Mamdani's press conference announcing the hearings, tenant activist Fitzroy Christian complained about being charged for scratching the floors of his rent-stabilized apartment. "When I want to clean under my bed, and I want to clean under my couch, and I want to clean behind my dressers, I have to pull them away. When they scratch the floors, the landlord says I damaged the floors, and I get billed for damages. And that becomes a permanent

Steve Reed should find out what the @greenparty.org.uk's policies are before calling them 'wacky'.

He was flummoxed by this question about what private landlords bring to society other than the redistribution of wealth in the wrong direction. #abolishLandlords

Should be considered a crime everywhere for landlords to charge deposit, 1st month rent, and last month rent upfront in order for ppl to move in. My dad's new landlord is asking for $5100 upfront and unfortunately it's the cheapest rent ($1700/mo) he could find in the area. #abolishlandlords

I once worked on a city council race (not in NY) and the real estate interests were pissed off the candidate I was working for supported a rent freeze, one far more expansive than Mamdani's.

They airdropped ungodly record sums of money in all the races in the city and lost every single one of them.

We really need to revive the "MORATORIUM ON EVICTIONS / CANCEL RENT" energy from 2020-2022 and build on that. We should keep that momentum going and not let nonprofits and electoral work groups get in the way.

"On Friday, Future Housing Taskforce chairman Kevin Doodney opened Brisbane's first "resi-rental", where a house is subdivided into five micro apartments with an onsite landlord"

Who the hell wants to live with their landlord??

There are millions sitting empty as "prop investments."

We don't achieve "housing is a human right" by just forcing landlords to be nicer to tenants, get better on maintenance, etc. We achieve it by first understanding their very existence is contradictory to our wellbeing, and therefore the existence of landlords must be abolished.

Landlords with large "portfolio" mortgages are being hit by staggering fees to renew loans - sometimes stretching to hundreds of thousands of pounds. Because of rising interest rates, they're suddenly failing lenders' strict affordability calculations.
