One guy owns enough dwelling for 5000 people.
It just says 5000 of their apartments have back rent. Maybe they have 100000 apartments.
Is there only one person per apartment?
I mean…it is in mine. Although I’m not in NYC.
You’re also not 5000 different people
I’m a million different people from one day to the next.
Would any of you like to go on a date? ʕᵔᴥᵔʔ
A percentage yes, but the hivemind must agree and all collectively attend the date together. Good luck getting any reservations for a group that large.
Hope you’re not expecting anything after the date.
Where do you get “one guy” from
From not reading the article but rushing here to share their golden opinion
Some important reasons for the missing back rent:
Many tenants began withholding rent because they had been dealing for years with unsafe conditions, while others fell behind because they could not afford their monthly payments, according to the tenant union. They may now get a blank slate.
Kuo said tenants dealt with a range of problems in their buildings including caved-in ceilings, heat outages and, at times, darkened hallways after Con Edison cut the common area electricity due to the landlord’s unpaid bills.
Fuck these people. They have to be forced to do the right thing. We should be voting to tax the wealth of these fucks.
Agreed
The right thing would be fucking off and giving the inhabitants of these homes equity for every cent they paid in rent.
A landlord with 5100 units? Yikes
i love how much he’s been able to do with housing; now just keep holding his feet to the fire to also not turn his back on trans kids by caving to the federal governments threats too.
Yeaaaaahhhhhh… unfortunately anything less than “Mamdani publicly executes Slumlord exploiting tenants for profit to set example to others” is not uplifting news, just more Hurray for Minor Inconveniencing the Orphan Crushing Machine
Which specific employees and/or officers of Pinnacle Group and/or Summit Properties should be summarily executed by the mayor of the city, in your opinion?
Should he execute the CEOs? The entire C-Suites? The Boards of Directors? The property managers? The maintenance staff? Anyone who has any stock or any other form of equity in either company since they’re technically the ones paying everyone from the CEO down to the most junior employee to do this? Just how much of a bloodbath do you think Zohran Mamdani should personally carry out? How much carnage do you need an elected official to unilaterally enact before you feel “uplifted?”
Or did you expect the Slumlord to be a single individual with a twirly black moustache and a villainous laugh?
