He loves housing. Just not in his district.

You mean that cherry picking individual incidents as "proof" that bail reform is dangerous is actually disingenuous? Who. Would. Have. Guessed?

If racist language was used. Then hate crime angle is appropriate.

Tbh food costs should come back down, (even though I doubt they will) I work in wholesale produce and food costs aren’t much higher than they were a few years ago. Eggs are still high but there are always market conditions that cause huge price increases that generally subside when conditions return to normal. Problem is restaurants and chains like chipotle etc raised prices and no matter how much food costs decrease back to normal they won’t change prices back, plus wage inflation plays a big role. Cost of eating out has gotten nuts even at fast food type places but grocery store prices shouldn’t be as inflated.

“Mr. Ossé is the son of a prominent hip-hop lawyer and podcaster, Reggie Ossé, better known as Combat Jack, who died in 2017. Mr. Ossé acknowledges his privileges.”
He’s been able to live in his parents townhome rent free before getting a job with an $150k salary at 24, and even with that salary is still complaining about mundane things like not being able to find an apartment with a washer and dryer. That’s privilege.

Oh yeah. It's funny when people say all the new apts in NY are luxury. As in they're not tiny and have modern appliances? Those are the norm for a lower middle class apt complex in most of America..

For those that do, what types of arrests or crimes committed?

Yeah, I mean. I live in the same neighborhood as this councilman and make roughly the same amount. There are plenty of units in the ~2k range. Nothing really good, but they exist. Dog-shit compared to what you would get in other cities though.
And that's the problem. For what you pay to get your own place in an outer borough in NYC, you could get a brand new apartment with a dishwasher/washer/dryer, balcony, gym, pool, etc in LA. And LA is not a cheap city.

Huh? His mom is a baker and his dad was an attorney who died when he was 17. He worked his way up as a grassroots activist

But some of them don’t have a washer and dryer. The absolute horrors this individual is facing while searching for an apartment are unimaginable.

Lol this dude is a 24 year old former promoter born into a family worth multiple millions and is bitching about not getting a dirt cheap apartment to live by himself in after living at home his whole life?
Fuck off with that, maybe he can affect some real change given his position but I highly doubt it.

150k a year is more like 7k a month

The going rate in his district is now $3400/month.
TarumK t1_jcabol1 wrote
I mean 2k per month on 8500 post tax comes to 23 percent. Which is a pretty low percent of income to spend on rent in tis day and age..

What instances are you referring to? On twitter at least he’s somewhat pro-housing.

He could have stated as such and no he meant... World Star which didn't have those comments but did have a lot of Anti-Asian comments when I checked.

Nothing, NYC teenagers are terrifying, they do not give a fuck and they are rarely ever held accountable, you even try to stop one of them and your ass will be the one ending up in the hospital
