After updating guidance in 2019, a Fannie Mae spokesperson said the revision was triggered by confusion from lenders and homeowners who interpreted the contract as barring renting altogether. In reality, the spokesperson said, renting was always allowed. politico.com/news/2025/10/2…
“Instead of drawing residents together over a meal, delivery channels them into lonely, atomized, privatized consumption far from civic interaction: 30% of meals that used to be eaten in these restaurants are now delivered, and it keeps growing.” — Liena Zagare
Warren Buffett famously said, “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.” In the same vein, the proposed City Charter revisions are revealing who is truly pro-housing and who has just been faking it. therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…

If Comptroller Brad Lander challenges Rep. Dan Goldman next year, does that create a path to victory for socialist Council member Alexa Avilés in New York’s 10th Congressional District?
My gut tells me that LIC rezoning will pass with or without Julie Won, and, realizing that, she will announce a deal. Just like with Innovation QNS. She basically wants a new park. Adams can commit to that because delivering it will be the next mayor’s problem. Thoughts?
This line from NY1 News is technically true, but it feeds the myth that developers can just build at will, without acquiring sites and financing: > If the plan passes the City Council Wednesday, developers can begin construction after the mayor's five-day period to review it

Cuomo said Tuesday, “I’ve seen cities spiral and not come back.” Which ones? Any guesses?
Do the people who claimed that DEI means hiring unqualified people view this prosecutor as qualified? ‘By the Way, Everything I Ever Sent You Is Off Record’ thewrap.com/lawfare-report…
Real estate is glad that @ZohranKMamdani supports rental vouchers. But would he actually make them easier to use? The city itself discriminates against voucher holders, which is illegal for landlords and brokers to do. therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…
Politicians love to bail out Mitchell-Lamas whose shareholders don't want to pay more to maintain their buildings. But they are loath to help rent-stabilized buildings, which unlike Mitchell-Lamas have no alternative way to raise revenue. therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…
When a fashion model walked out on her rent-stabilized lease, she left her unauthorized subletter behind. He never paid the landlord a dime, but it took two years to evict him, even though he didn’t have a lawyer. Welcome to housing court in NYC. therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…

I’ve had a unit failed because of a single screw missing in a 4 screw window guard missing - The super was right there , proper tools, corrected the issue in 5 minutes. Nope failed - Next available appointment for inspection was a month later the second inspection- passed…
