The only thing scarier than a housing shortage is lying about solutions to it. Luckily Kenny is on the case to solve this spooky mystery.

Yesterday at the Zohran rally for a rent freeze on rent stabilized housing, multiple lawmakers asked why does the RGB increase rents but somehow buildings don’t get better?

Here’s one major reason why.

The Comptrollers office is supposed to save the pension fund money.

So what happens when politics is more important than that?

Here’s how the rent law and calls for a rent freeze cost the NYC pension funds hundreds of millions of dollars and broke rent stabilized housing in the process.

Why does your rent keep going up ?

One reason you might not expect.

Fraudulent insurance claims.

At an average of $500 per month the renters in this building pay $2000 per year more in property taxes via their rent check than the two family home that is right next door.

Property tax reform is good for renters. Let’s get it done.

Relatively speaking there are very few evictions in NYC. And if we want to lower that number even further we should ask renters if we want to spend 100s of millions on lawyers (where they’ll end up owing rent anyway) or, just help them directly when they struggle.

US Open in NYC. How about us OPEN more housing? Amiright??

Anyway Kenny answers some fan mail from comment section experts and sets the record straight on some housing facts.

Want to make New York more affordable? We don’t need to look to Austria; we need to look much closer to home.

New York City’s property tax system actually punishes apartment buildings the older and more affordable they are for renters.

It makes no sense.

You’ve probably heard a guy running for mayor say rent stabilized properties profit is up by 12%.
Here’s why that number is nonsense.

There’s pandering to the uninformed, and then there’s this.

Sadly, many in this district believe this nonsense.

New York Strong means acting now to save our regulated housing.

It is possible to have strong tenant protections while allowing for buildings to be properly maintained and renovated.

Here’s how San Francisco does it compared to NYC, which is killing rent-stabilized housing with its system.

Facts about how Rent Control in California is more transparent for renters and property owners then New York’s RGB system.

Big thing… harder to hide government costs and mandates!

San Francisco Housing policy more rational than New York policy? Yup!
