New York freezes rent on 1 million apartments. Here's the hidden loop.

By the way, I don't like seeing news outlets referring to the rent freeze vote as a win for mayor Mamdani.
It's a win for *two million New Yorkers. I'm happy so many of my neighbors close or far got some welcome news today.
It also makes it a lot easier to convince people to vote for DSA and WFP candidates in the future, especially if their slogan becomes "we get shit done".
*Edit: one million units, two million people.
Context of the rent guidelines board member quitting before a rent freeze vote:
"In her resignation letter, Christina Smyth, a member representing property owners appointed by former Mayor Eric Adams, accused the other members of ignoring rising operating costs of landlords in its monthslong process to decide whether or not to raise rents."
Oh, so sad. Poor landlords.

JW Mason on affordable housing in Mamdani's NYC
'The great majority of residential buildings have rental income well above their operating costs, and they could be profitably operated even with rents much lower than today’s. So in principle, there is space for the RGB not just to freeze the rent, but to roll back regulated rents by some significant percent. The big obstacle to a mandated rent reduction is not the real costs of providing housing, but the financial commitments inherited from the past'

ACCE Action needs your help TODAY to freeze rents in LA County in the wake of the recent devastating wildfires.
South Los Angeles Assembly Member Isaac Bryan has introduced Assembly Bill 246, which would establish a temporary freeze on rent increases in LA County during this crisis period. The bill is scheduled for a critical vote in the Assembly Judiciary Committee TOMORROW MORNING (Tuesday, March 4th).
Why This Matters:
- Rents in LA County were already unaffordable BEFORE the fires
- The wildfires have destroyed housing and created even more competition for remaining units
- Without a freeze, landlords can exploit the disaster by hiking rents to unaffordable levels
- Families are facing impossible choices between temporary housing, rebuilding, and covering basic needs
Take Action in Just 5 Minutes:
Click this link: https://www.acceaction.org/freezelarents
- Follow the simple instructions to be connected with key Assembly Judiciary Committee members
- Use the script below when you call (or use your own words to share why this matters to you)
- Calling Script:
"Hi, I am calling to urge Assemblymember [LEGISLATOR NAME] to vote YES on Assemblymember Isaac Bryan's bill for a temporary rent freeze in LA County following the recent devastating fires - Assembly Bill 246.
Rents were already sky-high before the fires. The high cost of living is ridiculous compared to incomes, and housing is a big part of this problem.
In LA County, the fires have made a dire housing crisis even worse, with more people competing for even fewer housing options. Too many landlords will take advantage of this situation and make a bad situation worse. Now is not the time to be raising the cost of rental homes even higher!"
Key Committee Members to Focus On:
- Rebecca Bauer-Kahan: 916-319-2016
- Diane Papan: 916-319-2021
- Catherine Stefani: 916-319-2019
- Rick Zbur: 916-319-2051
Your voice matters! The committee is already being pummeled with calls by the corporate landlord lobby pushing against this bill - the committee needs to hear from YOU and as many concerned citizens as possible BEFORE tomorrow's vote!
Please take action now and share this email with friends and family who care about housing justice in LA County.
Thank you for standing with our community,

Have been waiting to hear about whether my #PropertyOwner will let me sign another 12-month #lease, and was mentally preparing for a #rent increase of $50 or more per week.
The email finally came today. There will be another 12-month lease, and increase of $40 per month. I am beyond relieved. And I am so lucky that this well within my means.

What would happen if froze all rents at the level they are now? We wouldn't have to worry about our rents rising ever again. Could there be any unintended consequences?
VisualEconomik takes on this idea and shows what happened in some places that implemented a similar scheme.
