NYC’s Housing Black Market is Exploding…

[@Tiralful]

As someone who works in banking in NY you are a continent off from the problem with NYC renting. The problem is, major players are buying affordable buildings, overhauling them then renting them for insane prices. There is an INSANE amount of open rentals available, people just can't afford them. They can't lower price of rent on units because they have a multi illion dollar loan on the building based on that insane income it should be generating. If they lower the rent, they need to offset the loan with millions of dollars because it isn't valued nearly as high now.

Cash the problem in NYC is that every single new building built is LUXURY LIVING so not many can afford them. There are hundreds of empty apartments in buildings like that, but they are unaffordable and you cannot force these owners to make them that way.

A common theme that I see on this channel is that instead of doing what most other cities like Paris or Tokyo did: de-zone and aggressively build affordable midland high rises. NYC is merely trying a bunch of gimmicks and hoping they work. No, housing shortages aren't going to be solved through a bunch of gimmicks. Basement conversions, tiny homes, tent cities, van life.

Actually - they are intentionally doing this because brokers and real estate investors are making A KILLING in NYC.

To make housing affordable, we literally have to convince these investors that it’s ok if they don’t make a trillion dollars this year.

Something analogous happened when Napster, the pioneering online music distribution platform, got killed in the courts. The smart thing for music companies to do was buy it and let it become the hub for all online music, forever. They would have immediately gotten all the metrics they could ever want and dropped their distribution costs through the floor. The piracy problem would have reduced to a negligible level. They would have made money hand-over-fist, even more than they do now. Some prominent musicians like Alanis Morissette saw that this was obviously the way forward and invested in Napster. Instead, the music companies feared, misunderstood, and killed it because they didn't understand it. Music distribution was fractured and piracy soared. That market is a giant cluster, even today, more than 2 decades after the shutdown of Napster, maybe the most shortsighted thing the music industry has ever done. The moral and why it applies here? When you ban something people want, the market will fracture, people will go underground, the problem won't go away and it might even get worse.

I had a neighbor who started off in the studio apartment and then when a three-bedroom apartment opened up she moved but kept her studio apartment. She was renting two properties in the same building. Because the building was a rent stabilized rent control building what she did was she set up the studio apartment as a short-term rental. For years she was doing it on Airbnb and then when she found out of the changes of the law she decided to go to a Scandinavian version of Airbnb. So no one in America or pretty much anywhere else in the world would see the apartment unless they were coming from one of the Scandinavian countries.

The is the issue with housing is that average consumers see housing as a necessity while corporations see housing as a commodity. The law of supply/demand dictates what you said "when demand exceeds supply, the prices of that item skyrocket". But that only applies to commodities not necessities. When necessities are treated as commodities, then no matter how much supply there is the corporation will never have the intensive to lower the price of said necessity.

This is why public housing is a necessity ,the government can control the prices of rentals indirectly by leasing a large number of properties out at a reasonable price to people and effectively setting a price ceiling on rent which the private market will be forced to compete with, either by being just as reasonable , or by providing a superior property that justifies the higher rent.

I may not know much but I do know that getting rid of the zoning laws could potentially be bad. From what I know the reason New York has building codes on heights is because there’s something called “air rights” meaning people have there right to a certain view without someone’s building is Blocking the light and view. They could and should re zone however to make the area usable again

[@Denastus]

There is also how high you can build around airports. According to the FAA 14 CFR 77.17(a)(2) "A height that is 200 feet AGL, or above the established airport elevation, whichever is higher, within 3 nautical miles of the established reference point of an airport, excluding heliports, with its longest runway more than 3,200 feet in actual length, and that height increases in the proportion of 100 feet for each additional nautical mile from the airport up to a maximum of 499 feet." I can probably tell you that there probably is a lot of buildings in NYC that themselves illegal, not just the way they are being operated. With cities that lack landspace like SF or NYC, you either have to reclaim land or make the hard decision not to take anymore residents. If you do reclaim land by through infill, then you risk ecological disaster, so that is out of the question. So the next solution would be to stop building newer buildings and renovate/retrofit existing ones. PS. 1 Nautical Mile = 1.150779 Miles

You can't legislate results if you don't allow the things that would lead to those results. Housing is expensive because of supply and demand. There are not enough units of housing in most cities for the number of people who want to live there, and in many cities, population is going up faster than buildings. Zoning is the reason. If you make it illegal to increase supply, the only way to reduce cost is to decrease demand, and short-term rentals just don't take that much of the total supply. To lower housing costs, there either needs to be more housing, fewer people, or less money in an area, and less money doesn't make things affordable. NYC seems to have unintentionally chosen the route of driving people out.

[@heatherwhittaker6169]

America would not have launched and became a prosperous action if al, of these restrictions had been in place when it was being settled and developed.Indeed look around d NYC and realize that the most unique,and thriving neighborhoods had no zoning when being developed.

Realize that before zoning lots of properties had restrictive covenants. It was right there in the deed. "Ownership if this parcel can only be transferred to a white, protestant individual of good moral standing." Yup, that was a thing. That's what existed before the courts declared such covenants to be unconstitutional. That's what zoning replaced.

[@16randomcharacters]

I have no empathy for people that became Air BnB hosts and are now screwed. It's been quite clear that the city did not want them here, yet they chose to make a risky investment anyway. As to fixing the housing crisis, i say a vacancy tax. We have to force property owners to adjust to what the market actually supports instead of what they want. For every month past 3 months a home or storefront stays vacant, the owner has to pay 1% of the asking rent, and that's cumulative. So empty for 6 months, that's 3% now. We can have other programs to help those that are struggling, but land is a finite resource, and hording it letting it go fallow hurts everyone around it. Induce market forces to push adjustments in pricing until supply and demand meet more closely.

​@erikawwad7653 You can't yimby your way out of the housing crisis. More housing is great if it's affordable, but 99% of the time new construction is going to be "luxury" apartments. Decommodification of existing housing, along with new construction, is the way forward.

[@Br3ttM]

The reason new housing is expensive is because of incredibly high land prices, and also simply because it's new. If you have less restrictive zoning, you get more housing for the same land, so prices go down. Also, NYC has rent control laws that make it illegal to even increase rent as fast as inflation or property taxes increase, but luxury apartments aren't subject to those rent controls, so it's actually possible to profit from them. And normally as buildings age, they shift to a slightly lower class, while the class who originally lived in them shifts to newer buildings, but in NYC, because of zoning, you can't build new buildings except by tearing down an existing one of about the same size.

Tokyo has had the same increase in population as New York for the past 20 years for the exact same reasons, which are high paying jobs.

As we know many commercial real estate was not designed as an apartment building would be to allow so many pounds per sg foot. Commercial needs less.
