LOL. I totally forgot about that Hudson Yards/New York Times prediction!

Love this quote about avocados: “You can't substitute anything for it. If there's no iceberg lettuce, what do you buy? Green leaf, romaine, spring mix. If there's no broccoli, you buy cauliflower. But an avocado is an avocado.” gothamist.com/news/why-an-av… via @Gothamist
Mayor advances $1.8B to speed up housing projects therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…
Mayor Adams’ housing legacy will endure, even if (because of the scandals) few remember him for it therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…
Housing policy should determine the vacancy rate, not the other way around, which unfortunately is what happens in New York City. therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…
Two takeaways on the rent-stabilized building profiled here: 1. It lost $204,000 last year despite a very favorable mortgage rate (3.84%) and zero capital expenses. 2. It spent only $34,000 to prepare 8 vacant apartments for re-renting. vitalcitynyc.org/articles/what-…
Old gas stoves pollute indoor air and make people sick. Lint builds up in old dryers and vents, creating a fire hazard. NYC should be incentivize replacement of old appliances, not discourage them by dramatically raising installation costs. therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…
NYCHA & TCB just closed on $272.6 million in financing to renovate 520 apartments at Metro North Plaza and Gaylord White Houses in East Harlem. That's $524,000 per unit. This is where @jaymart222 of @housingny chimes in on HSTPA allowing $15,000 in rent increases for renovations
One thing puzzling me about this saga is how the HDFC co-op ended up owning so many units. Why weren't units listed and sold when their owners died or moved away? Maybe the co-op quietly foreclosed, citing unpaid maintenance? ACRIS records are missing. therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…
Much attention is being paid to the @NYCCouncil overriding the local Republican member to approve a Bronx project for ailing ex-Rikers detainees. But the chamber also bucked "member deference" for a more typical project in a Brooklyn Democrat's district. therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…
Re progressives' shift in favor of development: "It's been an evolution over the past decade," Restler said. "It has accelerated...as the housing crisis has gotten worse, and progressive elected officials have recognized that we do have a supply issue." crainsnewyork.com/real-estate/wh…
Housing is still a big open question for Zohran: He told Odd Lots he'll interrogate how Tokyo builds. He told NYT he's changed his mind on private construction But the campaign text still opposes MIH+485x upzoning 😬 Why not update the text at that link to his current view?
