The multi-million-dollar tourist hotspot where locals can't afford to live
By Caroline Horn
A tourist hotspot with skyrocketing rents, low rental vacancies and a dearth of public housing, has found a way to help find homes for those who can't afford to live in their own region.

NYCHA is turning public housing into a test case for green affordable housing, using bulk purchasing of heat pumps and induction stoves to reduce emissions, improve comfort and lower long-term costs.

He stands alone among primary candidates in resisting plans to replace these homes with private real estate projects lacking affordable housing guarantees. #PublicHousing Schlossberg emphasizes the broader implications of this issue, warning that demolishing public housing for private development could set a precedent affecting similar communities citywide. He argues that the real estate plans prioritize profit over residents' needs, risking the loss of true public housing in New York. Comment LINK (on instagram) and we will DM you the link to @jackuno https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZO_8ZigBjo/ -- PUBLIC HOUSING. SECTION 9. That’s what I fight for. Vote JACK if you think we need to build more public housing in NYC that people can afford. And don’t think we should destroy homes — public housing, and really people’s homes ) to build … not public housing. @laylalawgisik @inge.ivchenko @jackieblue1963 @digifigs_ @micahlasher @alexbores Follow @jackuno for more.

When I say "landlords don't provide housing, they hoard it" there's no better case study than this. Under capitalism one could buy a unit and rent it out with
* affordable rent
* good property maintenance
* fast response for repairs/emergencies
but the only thing holding one to this is personal ethics. Structurally, landlords like Sun are closer to the rule. Gobble up as much supply as possible and hope to stay ahead of consequences
Developer Helen Chan Sun is the sole shareholder of a company that holds the title to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Vancouver real estate. But the multimillionaire will spend the next 40 days in a jail cell after repeatedly ignoring orders to come clean with a creditor about her finances.
