> I’m also in a large “luxury building” downtown and I didn’t get an increase when i renewed in 2021.
and you assumed that's because the govt forced them and not because the occupancy rates encouraged property owners to keep the rents low? This is not something that is subject to interpretation.

Can you be a bit more clear on your post? What is the current price and how many bedrooms is it? Mentioning $1000 increase doesn't help without this additional context.

What other group would have a reason to stop that idea?

Ohh no, that would make too much sense. Over here, we like to get lobbied by the taxi unions instead of doing what actually benefits the travelers.

TBH, nobody in India gives a $hit about what some dumb org claims. Indians are highly favorable of the current govt and brought them back to power with the highest majority in the last 3 or more decades.

OP lives in Grove street's XX Columbus building. Keep your advice to yourself since neither OP nor I find any use with it, "buddy".

Well, that's your opinion. A majority of residents in JC disagree with them being inconvenient to the point of needing a car. I don't think it would make sense to suggest a car as long as 100% of the residents feel that they don't need one given what OP has stated about themselves.

Some people don't understand that you don't spend on things and keep losing money just because you have a high income if it doesn't serve its purpose as much. It's a losing battle trying to explain it to them.

Ok, your arguments against the other commenter are getting illogical.
Most "normal people" living in the downtown do not go to the beach or whatever multiple times a week and OP has also said how they spend more and more time working. The biggest upside of living here given the high rent is not needing a car, and that's what a majority of the people in downtown JC do. If you live here and own a car, that's good for you but you're a clear minority.

How does the commute to NYC work? Bus to Newark and PATH from there?
