Curious what you think of rent stabilization

Discussion about
Would you be in favor of these rule changes? 1. No more succession rights. When the tenant of record dies their apartment goes back to the owner. 2. Minimum rents of $500/month. 3. 10% annual rent increases. 4. Eliminate housing courts, HPD and DHCR and taking the funds to establish temporary housing vouchers for the poor. Having a two tiered system like we do today doesn't make sense. The cost to monitor it alone is enough to make it obvious that it doesn't work.

aboutready - "You have yet to support your claim of a material adverse affect by "rich RS tenants" on the market."
You've misread my posts - the material adverse affect is by all of rent stabilization, not just the rich with stabilized units. I have not make the claim that it's the rich stabilized tenants who create all pain for 20 somethings - I'm just saying the rich are the most egregious of the lot.

fieldchester -" You do realize that your policies, and actions of people like aboutready, have real consequences to real people?"
And you do realize that your inaction has real consequences for a lot more people than my actions would right???

Fiedlchester - I am not a fan of Obamacare for that very reason - it is another example of generational theft. Taking from 20 somethings to give to the elderly. Research Stan Drunkenmiller (the hedge fund guy) for more about this generational theft.

Fieldchester - "At least Jazzman's position is consistent with his money" How so?? I've said that 1. I think my rents would actually go down from this. 2. If I'm wrong I'm willing to give any "windfall" to the City via increased property taxes.

I'm saying I'll lose money and if I don't then I'll give away any of the upside. That locks me in as either a loser or at break even.

Can rent stabilized tenants use AirBnB for their places like regular tenants?
