The only time a Republican can beat any Democrat is when the city goes into a recession. Always need a Republican to take out the trash and then a Democrat back in office to create trash.
Some of the people here in the real world have no friends, no love/significant other, and no sex. It shows in their posts.
Millie Jackson had a song for situations like this. Go out and get some. Get it out of your system.
I agree with this except that sooner or later some enemy of the state is going to blow it up with a nuclear bomb. For obvious reasons I hope I'm not here when that happens

It's not necessarily a bad idea, I mean, rents can't go up by 10% or more if your pay doesn't even go up by 2%. There is no justification in that.
And unfortunately, landlords did not require any rent stabilization law to not renovate a building, that has been happening long before any kind of regulation existed.

sure the rents can go up more ...no different then oil doubling and your pay stays the same ..all that happens is less goes to something else.
Landlords of all sorts have been bent over and are going to get hurt.
Evictions will take over a year, no more tenant screening, security deposits limited, etc....
I expect many small landlords (two-three family homes, those renting out rooms, co-op or condo apartments, etc....) will simply decide the humping they are getting isn't worth the humping they are getting and sell.
City and state are far more proactive than in 1970's and 1980's in dealing with LL's basically attempting to evict by neglecting their property. That and post that horrible building explosion on Second avenue a few years ago local DA's office would certainly prosecute anyone they even suspected of arson or whatever to the fullest extent of law.
Will we see full on torchings? No. What I do think will happen, and I suspect some want to happen, is many landlords will go bankrupt. Once buildings go into receivership, the city can scoop them up for pennies on the dollar to make them HPD/NYCHA/HDFC's etc. In a way, it's like what DeBlasio once said when he bemoaned "Private Property". If the city/state can drive landlords out of business, then the city can begin amassing the city's real estate portfoilo for itself and in a sense end private property.
They know what they are doing.
What will be the tripwire is once these buildings become state property, and end up just as bad (worse probably) than NYCHA, who's going to bail the city out then?
