New York, NY –  Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, candidate for Mayor of New York City, today announced ‘Zohran’s Law,’ a plan to protect the city’s rent-stabilized apartments from being occupied by high-income individauls, ensuring these limited, affordable units go to New Yorkers who actually need them.

Under Cuomo’s proposal, when a rent-stabilized apartment becomes vacant, the incoming individual income would be capped so that the annual rent makes up at least 30 percent of that income. For example, if an apartment rents for $2,500 a month ($30,000 per year), the new tenant’s income could not exceed $100,000. 

New York City is in the grip of a housing emergency. The city does not have enough units, and the drastically low vacancy rate is driving up prices, squeezing families, and forcing many to leave in record numbers.

In urban policy, it is considered bad for someone to be rent-burdened (spending at least 30% of their income on rent). But Cuomo's newly proposed law would *require* that people be rent-burdened. Absolutely insane.

Making a guess that you're referring to the hatchback version of that car given the comparison to the Fit - unfortunately it (the Nissan Versa Note) was discontinued in 2019. Sorry in advance if you meant the sedan version.

If the fact that someone was in Hamas military's cadre at some point makes him a target for execution years later, that means the vast majority of Jewish-Israeli journalists (who were conscripted to the IDF at some point) are a legitimate target while they do their journalistic job.

Israel released Hamas documents purporting to show that he was a Hamas fighter.
If the documents are authentic, they show he joined Hamas in 2013, and was wounded in 2017.
There's no evidence (that I've seen) he served as active fighter in the last two years. Which means he is not a fighter.

"proposing a law" isn't a formal thing, it's just saying words

All of Mamdani's policy proposals are the same in this way

Even as governor you can't directly introduce bills, you need a legislator or standing committee

Anyways this is a stupid idea

I honestly think the original poster asked about coding experience because of how pervasive LLM usage is in professional contexts in that domain.

"refusing big donors" is not the same thing as "refusing all donations". Mamdani has a team of people working on this.

Yeah, if you compare cheap wired headphones from 10 years ago to cheaper bluetooth headphones today, headphones have gotten bigger, more expensive, and worse at sound quality.

I have my differences with that article, but what we know for sure is that only a minority of Israelis reject ethnic cleansing altogether (20% of Israeli Jews, so about 35% of Israelis). At the same a large majority supports ending the war. Clearly there is a contradiction here. >>

No way lmao.

This mf literally is the one who was looting all the aid. Shooting and killing aid truck drivers while the IDF watched and did nothing.

this reminds me of when I tried to figure out why the (torque converter) automatic transmission predates the automated manual transmission. as far as I could find, the answer is machining/manufacturing/computers

This under-construction 7-bedroom, $14mm mansion did not have to pay any affordable housing fee.

If you built a five-unit apartment of the same size, it'd need to pay a $360,000 affordable housing fee.

How do five small homes negatively impact affordability more than one mansion?

Called in and got one trip adjusted but apparently the other one hasn't shown up yet so I need to call again later. I'll just wait a few days for things to settle...

I accidentally missed a tap on Caltrain (I think the tap errored - there was a loud sound but it flashed red? I was unsure) and now my Clipper Card seems like it's in some bad state where every transaction is billing me 1-2 extra zones
