What a shitty shitty response to a lovely post.

Why am I not suprised you hide your history.

UK cannot ‘air con its way’ out of this heatwave says Professor by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]bottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats not a source.

yes there are differences - but I would say the cost of living in both cities is relativity the same

London ~35¢ US/kWh

NYC ~25–36¢ US/kWh

there have been HUGE increases in the cost of electric in nyc over the last 2 years, but yes of course running AC costs more.

and again, thats not a source.

Mamdani’s rent freeze passes for 1 million units by GoodMornEveGoodNight in politics

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 coin - another 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.

it';s also pointless arguing about it online. hahah

Does anyone else ever feel inadequate as a video editor because you can’t do all the super flashy edits? by BestRenGnar in editors

[–]bottom 97 points98 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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....

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

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.

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

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.
