Pretty soon most will be forced out of the rental business and the government will own more property.
Not necessarily.
Or that’s what will happen. No background check price increases since every lease is more risk. They will then do rent control as has been talked about of years. Baby steps like gun control.Not necessarily.
What we need are some rich people to buy up apartment buildings in NYC and evict all the tenants. Leave the building empty, or change it into a warehouse. Jack the rent so high no one (not even rich people) could afford to live there.
There's plenty of ways to tell the NYC administration to fuck off.
From the video in your OP: The proponent for it says "There is no evidence that shows a criminal conviction determines if someone will pay their rent...". I call bullshit on his claim.

"Rental comes with a complementary .22 rifle. No background check for the rental, but NYS says you have to have one for the rifle, sorry."
A cricket single shot bolt action 22LR rifle, which is legal everywhere.
The takeaway being dont be a criminal because there are lifelong consequences? Yeah, I know, that’s crazy talk.From the video in your OP: The proponent for it says "There is no evidence that shows a criminal conviction determines if someone will pay their rent...". I call bullshit on his claim.
New data on formerly incarcerated people’s employment reveal labor market injustices
Newly released data doubles down on what we’ve reported before: Formerly incarcerated people face huge obstacles to finding stable employment, leading to detrimental society-wide effects. ...As it relates to convicted criminals: The overall employment rate over four years after the study population was released hovered between 34.9% and 37.9% — in other words, about two-thirds of the population were jobless at any given time.Also see a BJS Study: https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/eprfp10.pdf
I don't know, but having and keeping a job would sure seem like it would impact someones ability to pay their rent. Money doesn't grow on trees.
Actually corporations have been buying property for a few years now and banks are better positioned to take over, rent or otherwise manage default properties. When the housing crash happens we won't see the banks panic like in 2008. All part of you will own nothing and be happy. lolNot necessarily.

True but I was more pointing put how wrong the guys claim that a criminal record doesn't impact rent payment status. But yes, not being a convicted criminal is beneficial. Who would have thought!
I kinda think thats the long term goal .
Not really driving "private" landlords out. This targets small landlords. Middle-class and the small-time rich. There will be private landlords... super-rich and large corporate ones. NYC rails against "income inequality", all while doing its very best to create it. NY has been destroying the middle-class for years now.
