Reply to comment by Major_Supermarket_57 in NYC has thousands of 3-K vacancies. City Council says that’s an outreach problem by Ok-Training-7587
I wasn't up to 48k/year before 3K, but same. With 3K we pay for extended care to cover the entire work day and also DOE holidays. The daycare my kids go to received 1000s of applications this year for 3K. There's only space for something like 10 kids, with priority to applicants who are already students at the center.

why should any of us pay a tax for streaming? this city is already on incredibly expensive and difficult to live in, why on earth should another tax be levied?

While what you say is true, there’s a lot of 3-K options that function in private daycares that provide an option to pay to complete the full day (8-6pm). My youngest kid is enrolled in one of them, and while you still have to pay (18k/year in my case) it’s a lot less than I paid with my first where 3-K for all wasn’t available in district 2 yet and the same school cost me 48k/year.

Yes, and that’s a bad thing. surely it should be easy for someone like that to find an apartment in a healthy housing market, wouldn’t you agree?

No. There is no funding mechanism. Is it a “market distortion”? By limiting rent increases, surely, yes, but it’s not subsidized by the state or the city or federal government or anyone else. Also rent stabilized does not necessarily mean that the maximum legal rent is less than the market rate rent. There are many RS apartments whose rent is close to market rate (on average, they’re well below).

Annex the rest of the original borders of Queens County (Nassau) and make it into a new borough. Nassau county is far denser than Queens was at consolidation.

If only more people knew of our amazing service, surely they would be throwing their young children at us to educate.

You make a valid point except none of those people care about the agents or the students who become victims of their policies. Do you think any of the people who are screaming "NYPD out of schools" 3 years ago feel any remorse? Nah

Upstate towns with prisons probably have higher rents than those that don’t even have any major employer like that

The success and profitability of AirBnB is due to the demand for lodging, temporary and permanent, shadowing the small amount of supply. If apartments (and hostels, SROs, and other options) were abundant and plentiful and easy to come by, then far fewer people would be using AirBnBs as temporary housing.

You can’t deduct money you don’t earn. It’s not writing off an unpaid invoice using the accrual method. You can’t invoice a tenants that’s not there.

LLCs are pass-through entities, if the landlord owned the building as a direct partnership or in their own name (no incorporation), it would not affect their tax status or rate.

There are 3.5 million units of housing, there should be more, so much more that vacancy rises above 10% and rents start to collapse like they did in Fall 2020.

Given the vacancy rate in NYC is very low (<1%-3% over the last decade or so), this won’t actually do anything to make it easier to find an apartment for anyone and might just make it harder (by introducing more rules and more small landlords who have more time to be busybodies over micromanaging their tenants in their 10 apartments).

More restrictive zoning laws will make the city worse and more difficult to find lodging, both permanent and temporary. They just made it more difficult to build hotels a few years ago (NYC had a huge hotel construction boom… and corresponding boom in tourism). There is a shortage of lodgings, both permanent and temporary, which has manifested itself in AirBnB being very profitable for some people (it shouldn’t be)

It’s an absolute crapshow post-pandemic. Everyone we know has pulled their kids out. We hear things started declining back in like 2013 but the pandemic just threw things off a cliff.

District attorney handles arraignment and everything beyond.
Idk why people feel the need to omit them from their role in our justice system. Cops have no say in anything beyond the initial arrest
