I’m in a Greystar apartment and i can confirm that they are warehousing units while still keeping rents very high because the YieldStar algorithm from RealPage tells them that people will pay a LOT more when there is an illusion of housing scarcity

The way I see it: the state is essentially subsidizing all these businesses to operate in NYC. Because doordash won’t pay a stable, living wage- the state will need to step in and support these workers- food stamps, housing etc.

Why must the general taxpayer subsidize businesses to operate when they’re not exactly an essential service (like groceries or pharmacies)?

There’s a small minority of disabled New Yorkers who may need to order in on a regular basis, but disability benefits should cover for that

I support this. New York has so many restaurants within walking distance. This should be a luxury service anyway.

Takes me 15 minutes to walk a few blocks in midtown that would have taken me 5 during the pandemic. There are people everywhere!!!! just not in offices as much. ADAPT to it rather than forcing us to go in full time Mayor Adams.
