There are definitely empty apartments, usually rent regulated, in NYC intentionally left empty, because they are not habitable in the condition they are in and require significant investment with a poor ROI to bring up to code or at least inhabitable.

After demonstrating how useless they were at stopping a violent crime, preventing the perpetrator from escaping, or even recording a video of the terror event, the police are trying to prove their value by bullying people.

The main thing is that American apartments are designed to punish people because zoning encourages small spaces. More apartments should be built that are 2,000 to 3,000 square feet like those ugly McMansions.

It’s actually a lot harder to breathe when the air quality is so bad — NYC hit an AQI score in the 150s yesterday. It’s because of the cars. The combustion engines create smog. So sure, I’d love to take a breath, Kathy, but thanks to you I’m breathing toxic air.
