Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently launched an initiative called Talk to Tenants, aimed at visiting rental buildings with housing violations to remind tenants of their rights to organize. However, Nicole Gelinas raises concerns that the government's role should be to enforce the law impartially. While the administration intends to educate tenants, this program may inadvertently exacerbate challenges for them. As Gelinas notes, "Widespread collective action to win better repairs" could suggest a rent strike, leading to more distressed buildings, further increasing the current 9.3 percent of rent-regulated structures in such a state. #RentStrike #LandLords #RentFreeze #NicoleGelinas https://www.city-journal.org/article/mamdani-talk-to-tenants-landlords-rent?utm_source=virtuous&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cjdaily&vcrmeid=Kg3qJKalq0mbldxOVq9w&vcrmiid=Os4d1nrKsE218NCTNZmHTw #TenantRights #Socialism #Communism #Taqiyya
