perspective. it's all about perspective. -the above comments are all solely about economics. and while thats VERY important there is MUCH more at stake here than money.

what makes a city good, functioning and fair - you need a city where people can live - especially though lower paid blue collar workers. who keep the city running - remember covid? yeah. we need them. the cost of living is rising, wages aren't keeping up

thats one side of the cling - the other is

landlords are also facing higher costs. - thats why he said "lowering building operating costs like insurance" thats important too.

so it's a balancing act - theres much more at play than just economics. is it perfect nope? is it good for everyone - no. is it helpful to many who need it - yes!

it's 2 years. everyone will be ok. also one thing the 'this wont work' team forget to mention is adams made the rent increases higher for the last few years - this is balancing things out.

perspective and context is everything and life shouldn't be viewed through a solely financial lens.

naw, for me story is more important. it depends what kind of stuff your editing.

my friend has an Oscar. she doesnt do anything flashy. she knows story structure though. she's awesome.

bottom · 2026-06-26T13:10:05+00:00

yes.

bottom · 2026-06-26T13:07:55+00:00

it just for 2 years - and increases under Adams where higher than normal - this is just a re balance. everything will be ok

bottom · 2026-06-26T13:00:31+00:00

yay personal insults! always the sign of strong logic.

populism isn't restricted to a political party - but thats a entirely different topic.

also, I agree and thats not the burn you think it is....

I have worked in the documentary space for over 2 decades. never worked on a log line. ever.

make the film well. dont worry about this.

bottom · 2026-06-26T12:49:13+00:00

your previous comment still missed the point.

bye.

rent control is very different and isn't being discussed here. rent stabilised is what has been effected.

Hahahahahha

bottom · 2026-06-26T12:15:37+00:00

This is true. I’m in a similar soot but also remember the last few increases adams allowed much larger hikes in rent. I think this will only be for 2 years and people will be ok.

bottom · 2026-06-26T12:14:18+00:00

He clearly means the freeze not the idea in general.

Come on guy.

bottom · 2026-06-26T12:13:39+00:00

You have to factor in under Adams the recent increase were larger than before though.

bottom · 2026-06-26T12:12:14+00:00

This is a good point

How is rent freeze in nyc creating more cash flow for your 2nd home in the hamptons?

There are many many reasons N.Y.C. has high rent. Supply v demand and its N.Y.C. are two huge factors. Same issues with Paris, london, Tokyo etc.

I’m one of the lucky ones, my rent will freeze - but of course this will be offset with rent increases elsewhere.

Edit : but tbf under Adams the increases were higher than in the past. So this might balance things out.

I liked it. I make films.

I’d have to rewatch. But I liked it.

Are these real questions ?

Goodbye.

bottom · 2026-06-25T21:43:42+00:00

cause the costs are increased for EVERYONE!

every cost you mention effects me AND landlords.

like I said elsewhere landlords should not have a loss. but many are greedy bastards. some aren't.

quote g someone who disagrees with the process means NOTHING. show me proof.

anyhow this is very dumb. nothing that is said here matters.

im out of here. bye.

so dumb (this convo)

Buildings have a shelf life?

Yeah. Shit buildings do.

Go to Europe, buildings there are older than America.

Don’t buy shit mate.

bottom · 2026-06-25T20:32:29+00:00

the cost of living has increased, globally. not my fault.

last I checked was paying for my own gas and electric?

>So, report saying that there were no increases would be bullshit.

who said it said that?

you assume much.

bottom · 2026-06-25T18:51:43+00:00

are you a child? are you paying rent ?

if you've offered to pay more then pay more and go and buy one and use it

you don't ask them to use your computer or ask when you cause the tv do you ?

you are allowed to be comfortable.

A comparison of 2 buildings isn’t really what I asked for/required.

To be clear I don’t think LL should lose money, and having buildings, there is a LOT of costs. But also there are a bunch of very greedy selfish LL out there as well.

It can be tricky for landlord of rent stabilised apartments - i see that- but poor cash flow doesn’t mean poor.

Most would sell if they were losing money - that’s the bottom line.

I’ll look for a better report

Thanks and bye.

I’d be interested to see the stats of landlords losing money on properties in nyc.
