Zohran’s rent-stabilized house: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Andrew Cuomo’s proposal for “Zohran’s Law” to stop the rich from exploiting rent control.
Will New Yorkers lastly wake up and elect somebody who cares about crime, the cleanliness of town and its taxpayers (“Cuo: ‘Zohran’s Law’ to save apt. for needy,” Aug. 11)?
Zohran Mamdani, who talks robust about taxing the millionaires and billionaires, is the son of millionaires and in addition makes $142,000 as a state assemblyman whereas residing in a rent-stabilized house.
He’s nothing however a hypocrite, who will break the backs of New York’s hard-working taxpayers.

As a tenant in a rent-regulated house, I agree with Andrew Cuomo’s proposal to impose a means-test for occupants of these dwellings.
Many tenants of New York City’s million rent-regulated items have low or reasonable incomes. But some are privileged people in energy who abuse the system, like Mamdani.
No one who earns more than $100,000 a 12 months (about twice town median income) ought to qualify for a rent-regulated house. Those items belong to the needy, not the grasping. It is time to reform New York’s rancid rent legal guidelines.

While Cuomo is true to criticize socialist Mamdani for gaming the rent-stabilization system, he’s guilty of a staggering hypocrisy in calling for means-testing renters.
As governor, Cuomo signed the infamous 2019 law stopping landlords from raising rents in exchange for Major Capital Improvements. As a consequence, over 20,000 residences are left vacant, whereas town faces a growing housing scarcity.

Wow. The Post is de facto scraping the underside of the barrel to search out fault with Mamdani. It’s not like he’s paying $150 a month for a five-room rent-controlled house.
If somebody purchased a home at a low price after which property values instantly went up, why would they suppose: “I’d better move. It’s not fair that I was so lucky”?

The Post experiences that Mamdani has a good sponsored one-bedroom house. As a socialist — seemingly even a communist — I’m sure Mamdani would welcome a few new roommates to share his largesse.

The Issue: Mahmoud Khalil’s attempt to justify Hamas’ Oct. 7 assaults in a New York Times interview.
How did terrorist mouthpiece Mahmoud Khalil get legal US residency (“Cries to boot bum Khalil,” Aug. 8)?
This ethical degenerate thinks that Hamas’ rape, beheading and burning of youngsters, men and women was essential to derail a Saudi-Israeli peace deal. He’s now free to spew his demented hatred for Jews everywhere in the media, igniting fantasies of murdering Jews.
Someone ought to inform Khalil that a visitor doesn’t assault the values of those that have invited him into their houses.

I simply don’t perceive how anybody can help Hamas, which engaged in these egregious and nefarious acts in opposition to harmless males, ladies and kids who solely needed to reside in peace.

In my opinion, people like Khalil, whose solely goal is to advertise antisemitism and harming our Jewish buddies and neighbors, must be deported.

Khalil’s justification for the savagery of Oct. 7 is just the tip of the iceberg. Those who applauded the rape and beheadings of innocents on Oct. 7 would even have proudly raised their fists in victory on 9/11.
