This has always been the agenda in New York City. I had family who lived in the Lincoln Center area when the original West Side Story was filmed. After Hollywood came to town and highlighted the neighborhood, they increased the rents by 50% and forced out those who couldn't afford the new rates in order to repopulate the area with new (richer) residents. Rinse and repeat. Nothing new to report here. Any time a city is advertised on shows like Friends, Rules of Engagement, Seinfeld & Sex and the city, it's only a matter of time before there is an influx of newly transplanted people who will be willing to pay an arm and a leg to live there. They'll even live 6 to 10 in an apartment because they grew up watching The Real World and Big Brother and don't mind living packed with strangers so they can afford that I live in NYC, specifically Manhattan, life.

Im a New Yorker, that grew up in an outer borough, and I did grow up watching shows like that and wanted to move to Manhattan because of that reason, but I’m a New Yorker moving to a different part of NYC, so I don’t feel like I deserve to be pushed out, there should be a seniority privilege for ppl who were born and raised in the NYC, smh, instead of those who have lived here all their lives and helped build this city up, from 9/11 to housing bubble to recession to trump and the pandemic, instead, those who keep NYC stable are continuously being pushed further and further out, i’m holding on with every bit i got, not because I think this is the best place in the country, which I kinda do, but it’s because everywhere else in America doesn’t look that good, or even mentally tolerable. 😩i’ve stayed in places from miami to Macungie, the choices are so unsavory in America, i just may have to migrate out.

Many of the mom and pop landlords had to sell their homes because of the eviction restrictions allowing tenants to go a year or two without having to pay rent. So big investment firms scoop up the homes and raise the rent. They have a lot of money in reserves they can wait out a non paying tenant but they are going to definitely make sure to turn out a large profit in the end so when they finally kick the old tenant out they raise the rent significantly. That’s one of the many reasons rent has skyrocketed.

No amount of voting can prevent what is causing the housing crisis, because it ain't on any ballots. It's not a blue or red thing - it's already happening in plenty of red states as well. No, it's not a question of red or blue, it's a matter of green. Wealthy individuals, corporations, and private equity funds turned homes into investment vehicles, a wildly popular asset class to buy, hold and sell as part of their portfolios. The fact that this trendy investment market is crushing the bottom 2/3 of the country, and forcing unknown thousands of people into homelessness every week is conveniently invisible to the investors who are responsible. To them it's just numbers moving up and down in a grid on their screens. No voting will stop it, because no lawmakers are willing to propose any legislation about it - or even to publically acknowledge that the cost of housing is a problem at all - because those lawmakers are personally profiting from it. And the the mega-donors who fund their campaigns are DEFINITELY profiting from it. It's a genuinely bipartisan issue, in the worst way imaginable.

I’ve lived in NYC for 12 years. I’m now being evicted and have nowhere to go in 3 days. I have some savings but no one will rent to me here even in the outer boroughs because of lack of credit score and income after my accident. With the new ba.5 strain and monkeypox it’s dangerous to stay in hotels and airbnbs, not to mention being a single woman. I have a cat and accident injuries that I’m still trying to recover from. If I get sick somewhere and have nowhere to go, what would happen to my cat and I? For all those thinking that tenants shouldn’t be offered protection until the pandemic is over, think again. You don’t understand just how impossible it is. Now I’ll just be another random homeless person. I’ve gone from resident to traveler. Going to another city by myself will be dangerous if not impossible, especially if my back gives out and I can’t walk again. I just had to share this here since nobody cares. Just had to mention too that rooms are also very difficult to get, no one wants to rent without requirements and nyc made a law in 2019 that you’re not allowed to pay upfront for apartments.

Landlords can't raise rent to "recoup" lost rents. This is a common fantasy renters have. A landlord can ask for a higher rent but that does nothing unless a renter agrees to pay that higher rent. Renters set rents. If enough units stay vacant the asking prices will fall. But as long as there's a line of renters willing and able to outbid others rents will increase. At some point most of those will be in units and rents will stabilize.

[@KamalaIsTrash]

No. Rent will not fall when apartments lie vacant...not in NYC. There are apartments and storefronts that stay empty for YEARS. You have to understand, anyone who owns real estate on the Island of Manhattan, is outrageously wealthy; I am talking BILLIONAIRES; and these guys can afford to sit on vacant properties for years, and not feel a thing financially. Because lowering rents causes their precious properties to decrease in value...and no landlord wants that. Don't expect rents to fall here; they never do...
