> result of very deliberate policy decisions as opposed to some law of nature.

I have no problem with telling NIMBYs to go fuck themselves as I'd also benefit more housing and lower rent, but demand will always outstrip supply in a highly desired city like NYC. You simply can't build out of it. Someone will ALWAYS be priced out or homeless in NYC. So housing shortages in highly desired cities are laws of nature. Otherwise, they wouldn't be highly desired cities. People compete globally to live in NYC.

>I just don’t believe in rounding them up like cattle and shipping them off.

Do you have a better idea? Because any idea that involves providing nice government housing for free to the homeless is politically DOA. Look at how unpopular housing migrants in hotels are.

>only solution to this problem is to provide government subsidized permanent housing

Depends on where and how it is implemented. There needs to be checks and balances to ensure they have the resources to get back on their feet and not pull the rug before they have the opportunity to do so. But also so that we don't have a permanent class of people reliant on tax dollars. I am sure we can all agree on that.

Agreed.

But said housing does not have to be in the most expensive city in the world. You can house way more people up state and provide more services for the same budget.

There is literally no reason to house them in NYC. They are from NYC? Beggars can't be choosers - otherwise you introduce perverse incentives.

Solving homelessness doesn't have to involve housing them in the most fucking expensive piece of real estate in the country.

It's people like you who care less about homelessness and just want to stick it to people who are better off than you.

I'd easily support a bill where NYC raised my taxes to house homeless upstate where land is cheaper and get them in programs to help them integrate back in society. But not this shit.

Since when did living in NYC become a right?

But that's besides the point. You are too focused on the needs of one group of people.

What happens when there are no price signals in the market? Who determines where who lives? The corrupt NYC government?

What happens when capital flows out of real estate and no one builds anymore because you capped rental increases? Where are new people coming to the city going to live?

What happens when you limit rent increases to the point it doesn't cover taxes, utilities, or maintenance? What, LLs just going to eat the loss? Print money in their basement?

There are so many factors and stakeholders that advocates like you gloss over.

>After seeing a LinkedIn ad for a new role on her team that revealed new recruits will be paid more than her

Welcome to the real world. A new recruit is always more valuable than an existing employee. Did she really need transparency laws to tell her that? Everyone who gives a shit about their career knows the only way to get a raise is to change jobs every 2-3 years.

>candidates were often offended because the companies rarely made offers at the high end of the stated range.

Who didn't see this coming? Everyone thinks they are on the high end. Well someone has to be on the low end and the middle.

>Wall Street human resource executives blamed the transparency for a wave of resignations after bonuses were paid out at the end of February

There is ALWAYS a wave of resignation in professional services after bonuses are paid out.

>Activists and community leaders argue that the laws provide vital information to women and employees of colour who otherwise might not have the professional connections to know what kind of salary to negotiate for.

Of course it wouldn't be a complete pay disparity article without mentioning women and people of color. I am sure white male Joe Blow from bum fuck Ohio who graduated community college has the professional connections to negotiate higher salaries.

>I think most of us don’t think this way.

I don't disagree but but by letting it slide, you are approving it. Silence is complicity.

All that plus vouchers do not pay the full rent.

>In this case, the NYCHA which, everyone knows, is an absolute steaming pile of dog shit

Yea...people with ambition don't exactly line up to go work for the NYCHA.

100%

Why would you take a voucher?

When you are woke, everything is prejudice and discrimination.

Seoul’s subway system is way bigger than NYCs. And NYC’s subway really shouldn’t be 24/7. Shit here closes much earlier than other international cities.

Has less to do with rent stabilization and more to do with what the rate is. Many of the high rises are under rent stabilization programs and don't have the issues in this article.

You can't maintain apartments with feelings. Eventually, budgetary reality kicks in.

Or really run anything in the city, as NYC is finding out with the migrant situation.

So who in this case pays the funds to maintain the apartment? The owners have abandoned it. So I am fine if it gets sold to the current tenants for free. You think the tenants have the money to maintain it? Because I sure as hell am not using city funds to maintain private housing.

The money has to come from somewhere. So where does it come from here?

You have it backwards. The fact this has 4 upvotes as of this writing shows how fucked our education is.

Properties making money don't get abandoned. It got abandoned because writing it off is a win compared to operating it.

Anyone with a fucking brain could have told you before the first migrant stepped off the bus.

We all know why his race was excluded.

And by your logic, why include any description? Black jacket and pants really? I got fucking black jackets and pants.

Not the way NYC is trying to implement it. At least be fucking honest.

Too much facts.

Which building?

Anyone with a functioning brain could have told you Texas was going to be right about this.

They get shit from the federal government. Do the actual math per migrant and tell me with a straight face that is enough.

That was always the case. Most asylum cases are denied.

Unfortunately, 3 years from now when the courts finally get to his asylum hearing and mark him for deportation, this fucker will go on social media and talk about the life he has built here and the woke/progressives will eat it all up.

It's a couple thousand dollars for each migrant. No where near enough for any city to handle this.

Why couldn't they do that with a fake social security number?
