We win as a movement. #NotMeUS

Fixado

I am going to paraphrase @BDLimm. The housing problems caused by luxury development will not be solved by more luxury development.

Ithaca is now the FOURTH City to opt into #GoodCause -- under the strongest terms possible, covering nearly every Ithaca renter. @GovKathyHochul tried to leave upstate out. But upstate tenants are organized. We're winning the protections we deserve.

🎉WE PASSED GOOD CAUSE! Tenants all over ithaca organized for years for the is victory, elected ITU members, flipped our council, and built a city run BY tenants FOR tenants. Special thanks to our endorsees in office Kayla Matos and Phoebe Brown!

Rochester introduced #GoodCause last month and could become the BIGGEST UPSTATE CITY with the protections by September. @RocTenantUnion + their elected allies are fighting HARD to make sure #ROC opts in and covers as many renters as possible. x.com/marylupienroc/…

Albany, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, & now Ithaca have approved the strongest possible Good Cause Eviction Protections. #Roc has the opportunity to do the same. I am committed to safeguarding tenants and tackling our housing crisis head-on with stronger protections than were drafted.

Real estate spent BIG to try to take out tenant champions. But tenants mobilized from Rochester to Queens to defend elected officials fighting to expand tenants' rights. We protected all of our incumbents -- and picked up two seats along the way. Tenant power is here to stay.

Now, as I head to Albany with a mandate to fight for affordable housing, universal childcare, a Green NY and the democratic socialist future we need to thrive, I want you to know—our movement is only getting started. Workers deserve it all, and I will never, ever settle for less.

I'm so incredibly proud of @eonforassembly. The 4 Horsemen of NY politics, Real Estate, Wall Street, Charter School PACs, and AIPAC, spent hundreds of thousands of $$$ in AD56 in order to eke out a victory by ≈400 votes. They are terrified of our movement. And they should be.

WaterBottle, a worker-owned cooperative,... includes property management and construction service and spreads control among its employees, owns 22 properties. It’s restoring dilapidated buildings and renting them out with first dibs offered to the workers. thebaltimorebanner.com/community/hous…

Landlord lies! IMPROVEMENTS are different than REPAIRS. Landlords won't need lots of $ if they keep the apartments in good repair throughout a long term tenancy. There is an incentive to withhold repairs for decades and add its cost to an IAI to raise rent if caps are ⬆️

Multiple sources confirm that the general framework of the IAI cap changes are: - $30k for most apartments - $50k for units vacated by longtime tenants (25+ years) There are more specifics re: building size, recently vacated units, but this is the broad strokes

The housing profiteers have been able to sway elected officials with their smooth rhetoric. But they can afford to rent their vacant apartments. They'd just rather taxpayers foot the bill. And elected officials are falling for it. Tell them no! No rollbacks to the HSTPA!

No housing package without #goodcause. No developer tax breaks without strong union wages. REBNY can whine and obfuscate all they want, but these are the facts. Either get with the program or get out of the way.

The real estate industry is holding our state hostage. It’s clear that no housing package will pass without #GoodCause Eviction — so they’d prefer to see no housing package pass at all. Our statement on ongoing housing negotiations:

Across New York, community organizations like @EastNewYorkCLT are fighting to win cooperative ownership. Let’s make the fight a little easier — and give all tenants the right to take over their homes — pass #TOPA this year!

Why did landlords allow buildings to fall into disrepair? Landlord profits increased for 20 years straight, but now they say they can't repair buildings. The fact is they profited of tenants living in terrible conditions and now want a government handout for doing so.
