The zero amount of illegal rentals in Garden City says don't smell your post too closely. The "toleration" of these places as peconic said varies entirely by the will of the local municipality to enforce it.
Some people will rush to do it, absolutely. Professional landlords, for instance. Predominately in lower income areas, so you'll see a bunch of them in places like Westbury, adding more people of questionable citizenship to an already distressed area (and school district). And as we saw from the example of Westchester, unscrupulous developers and NGOs will take the lead in screwing over the local population.
It's almost as if it's on purpose.
Since when did the LI forum ever care about what happens in low-income areas

No, see, I don't actually care, but you do. It's call tailoring your message for your audience. What I'm concerned about is the political ramifications for introducing a bunch of new renters to the suburbs. The long term goal isn't a few new houses, it's consolidating control. Again, it's not as if we didn't see how this sort of stuff went in Westchester.

Crapposting from NJ, gotta love it. Your whole state should be wiped out, hth

Like I said before, legally adding an extra unit is cost-prohibitive for many. I doubt "a bunch of new renters" will be introduced to the suburbs just based on that alone. Now, maybe if I saw the state start to buy homes in Nassau after this law was passed, then I could see your concern. Maybe if you came from that angle I would be a bit more considerate.
As a reminder, you're the one who introduced the lower-income component to the discussion:

Says the guy posting from NC. I'm sure you would be just thrilled if NC eliminated single family zoning. Do us all a favor and worry about Union County we will worry about our own home expat, thanks.
You really think people are going to rush to build additional units on their properties if this law passes? It's very expensive to do so with all the professional fees. Then people have to assess if they can even afford the tax increase. Much ado about nothing IMO.
Also, if this law comes to fruition, it will not automatically legalize any units that have not been filed and permitted with their prospective municipality.
Yup and it won't just be in crap areas like hempstead, NGO's, investment firms like Blackstone etc. will buy up homes and subdivide them wherever they can.

The way it's written, you don't need to add an extra unit - you can simply rent out your basement. That isn't cost prohibitive. It certainly isn't for professional landlords, who are chomping at the bit to skate around local zoning laws. And... again. We saw what happened in Westchester since they were force fed a foul meal by the Obama administration. We know where this leads. It's all been done before.
