What is greedy? Paying rent? Should it be free?

Nothing? Unions take offense to that. It GOES to the hardworking union bosses who convince the uneducated about their work, while golfing and/or taking multiple no show jobs.

Obviously, they are a government agency that wastes billions of dollars. Most than most nations

Quite the opposite. The source of the corruption is the toxic entitlement culture of a union. It’s purposefully created in a collectivist manner

Unions are only corrupt because of the outsized negotiating power granted to them by the politicians.

Good. Why should the country bail out the MTA? Let it fail. It’s not serving New Yorkers

Shame. There should be no binding price floors of rent. We need to eliminate zoning and community boards to increase development / supply.
Enough is enough. Let housing float. No more NIMBY.

So then go to a real grocery store and stop eating out. Sorry for being blunt but you sound like an entitled child who just moved to the city.

Unions are the equivalent of a leech. There is no value created only siphoned from the productive to the unproductive

Correct. Unions are unacceptable and have no place in a capitalist society.
Public sector? Demanding? That’s an oxymoron. There is little to no work done in the public sector. Their contribution to society is negative. Their “peers” aren’t making anything as their contribution is not comparable.

No. I’m sorry but “public servants” shouldn’t be supporting anti market principles such as unions or any other regulatory barrier. Neither should they be inflating the cost of government. Lay them all off.

I suggest we lay them all off instead.

Maybe it’s time to get rid of the basic services if you cannot provide them. That way we can save a few dollars on taxes.

Unfortunately people expect “free” or “cheap” not realizing that things, such as shelter, come at a very high cost.
It’s easier to say “let’s lower rents!! Yay” than let’s solve the actual problem of supply and demand. Such is life.

Why not just abolish rent control? Get rid of all non price mechanisms and let developers build. No more restrictive zoning.
