Great, now bring back the congestion fee and we can say we live in a better city than we did last year.

- crazygringo 2y agoSeriously, two good pieces of news for New Yorkers today. I'm shocked.
- cyberax 2y agoLOL. The effect of this on prices: zero.
- hooverd 2y agoRight, I doubt it lower prices but it will save people money on the buyer side. I don't know how you would lower prices in NYC other than building even more.
- kelnos 2y agoThat's the point. Rents should stay more or less the same, but now renters won't have to pay a bullshit fee up front. Landlords can list their units on whatever listing sites/services for like $500 a pop, and renters won't have to pay $5k-$10k to a broker who did basically nothing for them. Rents will not go up; rents are a function of what the market will bear, not of a landlord's costs.
