I feel like the previous laws of 5 years ago worked just fine when they were enforced.

A good example - the Freedom Tower in NYC, over 100 stories tall, was built with $4 billion. NYC is currently looking to spend $12 billion on renovating, not building, the Port Authority bus station. Maybe the government should use the Freedom Tower builders? Maybe NYC has incompetent managers that can’t be trusted to run and direct the builders.

Cant they just pick cheaper contractors? Or limit the budget so there’s less money for politicians to fill their friend’s pockets?

Not all of us wanted this. My neighbors disappoint me and I plan to leave them with their mess.

Your answer is short sighted. It’s like saying smoking one cigarette wont cause cancer, and it’s technically correct. In the long run, the policy of allowing people who dont pay their rent to stay guarantees no one will build new housing for low income families.

As long as the population grows, someone will eventually get priced out, even if no one migrates in.

Is it fair to redistribute to people who are paying instead of not paying?

This is preferable, apparently. If one baby cant get exactly what she wants, no one else gets anything.

If a taxi was swapped out for a person driving his own car, wouldnt that car likely need to take up a parking spot for 8 hours?
