Reply to comment by Darrackodrama in New York City Is Failing Tenants. So They’re Getting Organized by ethnt

The problem is that there is no market for constructions when only the “well connected” are able to get zoning/permits to build housing.

NYC was captured by a NIMBY mafia that is starving the city of new supply.

Lol you are Proving my point, the housing market is run by a nimby cartel Because that’s what happens when you leave decisions of public concern in private hands.

It’s like in your mind these things just happened to occur; without considering that they maybe occurred because of the states deference to the market to House basically everyone.

If you wanna simp for capitalism that’s fine but we know how to fix housing crises because we have an example of how to do it. Whether you accept it or cope and blame zoning is up to you.

We need like 600,000 more affordable units and the private market is not going to provide them, so the public sector needs to step up and learn from Vienna

Let’s just be clear that minority who captured the market is in the NYC Council and in Albany making laws, while posing as “advocates” for tenants.
