  • it must be short term as a response to market shocks

    NYC has had rent control for decades. If we are talking about short-term rent control working, we are necessarily talking about removing rent control from NYC.

    Talking about adding more rent control in NYC is doubling down on failure, doubling down on fucking over NYC renters.

  • Economists of all stripes agree rent control doesn't work. A mere 2% think it has positive effects, according to a 2012 survey by the IGM Forum.

    The analysis of rent control is among the best-understood issues in all of economics, and – among economists anyway – one of the least controversial. In 1992, a poll of the American Economic Association found 93 percent of its members agreeing that 'a ceiling on rents reduces the quality and quantity of housing.

    NYC renters have suffered enough. Why would you subject them to failed policies like rent control?

  • Three-week-old fuel is brand new. I don't even fill up my car that often.

    No issue here.

    This part in particular really pisses me off. It isn't learning, it isn't 'going to do better', it's just saying what it thinks you want to hear.

    I fucking hate sycophants.

  • When a cost goes up for all owners at once, this leads to everyone raising rent prices at the same time. There is no opportunity for a renter to jump ship to a cheaper property, they all went up. The maximum changed.

    Yes, this will price out many people from being able to afford housing.

  • Better pass a rent freeze first

    Renters are already fucked in NYC. Stop making their lives worse with proven failures like rent control.

  • the middle class disproportionately rents. It is the wealthy who own.

    Just like every other cost related to owning and maintaining a rental: property taxes get passed down to renters.

    This tax hike disproportionately affects middle and lower class individuals.

  • NYC has some of the highest taxes in the country. The alternative is less taxes.

  • spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours

    Even worse: if you get a proper night's sleep, 16 hours is literally the entire day. Dude is saying if you are getting healthy amounts of sleep, it is perfectly acceptable to spend 100% of your time doom scrolling on their website. No eating, no going to work, no showering.

    It's an absurd statement.

  • Remake took so long I don’t even care to play anymore.

    I was going to buy the remake until I found out it was only partly done. Now that it has been six years and it still isn't out, I'm pretty sure I'm just not going to bother.

  • Can i use my small kitchenette as a sauna?

    Jump

  • I would highly advise against pumping the humidity up in your home to anything past 60% and it really should not go past 50%. Mold is no joke and is going to present a serious problem in this situation. Saunas are built in specific ways to account for the high humidity, your home isn't and will mold up.
