Move

Best way to increase housing stock is processing eviction backlog quickly. That will open up more apartments to the market. In addition to building additional housing of course as longer term fix.

Got’em

Other areas in NYC more affordable. Too many transplant love living directly in the city.

NYC isn’t another country?

NYC is out of the country

Not a transplant just moved back last year after 3 years in LA

try living somewhere else and you will agree

NYC and Santa Monica are actually in the same country believe it or not.

So, by "processing eviction backlog quickly" is a euphemism for kicking out people overpriced out of apartments they used to be able to afford so more gentrification can happen?

Sounds like they did you a favor

Ok and? Are you saying people who don't pay rent should get priority to live in the most expensive city in the world over people who can?

hmmm Nice! Thanks

perhaps

That

I can't afford to live some places. I acknowledge that and live where I can afford.

That doesn't increase housing stock; it just redistributes it.

The only leverage you have is a willingness to move.

I ever see you at a bar, drinks on me

I can't afford to live where I was born and raised. That happens

That was the biggest wipe out of a post have seen on Reddit in a decade. Crushed on the spot.

Seeing delete delete delete. The entire account is now deleted.

Tip? Your posting to over 600,000 people. Think before your post.

in your opinion, how long should deadbeats get to live rent-free before being kicked out? Because we’re at three years and counting.

>euphemism for kicking out people overpriced out of apartments

No, it's means kicking people out who haven't paid their rent. Renting doesn't guarantee you get to live there forever.

Yes it does

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

I’m not talking about fairness or justice (and am not really interested in this conversation spiraling out into new topics). Evictions incontrovertibly does not increase housing stock.

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

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.
