    Q2 numbers will soon be released but q1 was at a decade high. Manhattan office leasing reached about 11.8 million square feet in Q1 2026, the strongest first quarter since 2014. It was roughly 44% above the five-year average.

    You dumbass MAGA live in a delusional reality. Low iq individuals posting Twitter polls LOL

    So you have no source for the bold and odd announcements you made about the commercial real estate market in NYC? WOW. Has @astros123 just resorted to literally making stuff up? He continues to plumb new lows. It's a sad state of affairs, amigo! He's not in my league, that's for sure!

    So kindly provide your source for your NYC real estate market information. You painted a very strong picture for the commercial real estate market... and tried to claim that Mamdani was the reason why it was hot. I know people at the top of the NY real estate market -- they think Mamdani is a disaster for real estate development in the city. They are right, too.

    50% of the city on Medicaid... socialists create dependency among society's least productive thereby ensuring that they vote for them for survival... this is not American exceptionalism. It's third world failed policies. My advice: Get out of NYC before things inevitably turn ugly. It's yesteryear's city -- its past is brighter than its future.

    Kansas City ditches another failed experiment with ‘free’ buses
    A bus that rarely comes isn’t much of a bargain.

    https://wapo.st/4oSryaC

    excerpt:

    New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) repeatedly cited Kansas City as a model to make the case for free buses in the Big Apple. Now it’s another cautionary tale. Policy experiments are great. But not when taxpayers keep getting taken for a ride.

    The NY real estate market is on the brink of collapse. Who will invest in new housing stock when prices cannot compensate them adequately to make a rate of return? This is economics 101 -- and Mamdani doesn't get it. The doom loop will continue. This city is absolutely screwed -- get out while you can. It will get ugly.

    Google billionaire Sergey Brin exits NYC real estate as landlords suffer from rent controls, explosive costs: report
    https://nypost.com/2026/06/29/busin...er-from-rent-controls-explosive-costs-report/

    Google billionaire Sergey Brin is reportedly among the many New York City landlords fearing more hurt from capitalism-hating Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s rent freeze — seemingly dumping his stake in a real-estate fund for pennies on the dollar.

    “The simple and deeply troubling fact for renters is that institutional capital – both equity investors and lenders – are fleeing New York City’s rent stabilized apartment sector,” an A&E spokesperson told The Post.

    “They understand New York is in a doom loop created in large part by the 2019 Albany rent laws, which handcuff owners’ ability to recoup costs for necessary capital repairs and improvements, coupled with rapidly rising operating expenses and a hostile political establishment determined to freeze the rents no matter the real-life implications for residents,” the spokesperson added.

    “Absent changes, the city’s working class housing stock will continue to steadily decline.”

    The city’s Rent Guidelines Board voted in a 7-1 decision Thursday to freeze increases on 1 million rent-stabilized apartments, delivering a key tenet of Mamdani’s affordability-focused campaign to a crowd of cheering supporters.

    But landlords are warning it could be the final straw, complaining that they are already struggling to survive in the Big Apple following 2019 legislation that restricted their ability to raise rents, and pandemic-era conditions that caused borrowing costs and insurance premiums to spike.

    I don't have a lot of confidence that liberals here will be able to understand the piece below, but it does lay it out nicely. In summary, buildings will decay if owners cannot make a profit. Costs go up every year... and if their revenue cannot increase due to political actions, then no money will be available to maintain, much less improve, the building.



    Get out of NYC while you can. Things will get very ugly.


    GOOD DAY

    in related news AOC wants to break up Apple because they raised the price of Macbooks by $200 . . .

    AOC says ‘we need to break up these companies’ after Apple raises prices by $200

    https://nypost.com/2026/06/28/us-ne...looming-price-hikes-for-macbooks-and-iphones/

    excerpt:

    WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decried Apple’s recent $200 price hikes on computers and tablets, which the tech giant blamed on a memory chip crunch — and called for breaking up Big Tech.

    “We need to break up a lot of these companies that are far, far too big, and we need to be instituting consumer protections for people,” the New York Democrat told Fox News.

    Mamdani tricks people with his fake smile, soothing lies, and huge social media productions... but is uneducated on history and policy. AOC tricks people with her "Jenny from the block" fake persona and her (now fading) good looks. Not much substance or experience to either one of them -- they are certainly not executive leaders capable of making great decisions on behalf of the people. But they play on the "feels" and "vibes" of their followers -- who also do not know any better and most are foreign-born and not heritage Americans whose ancestors built greatness.

    NYC is in a very dangerous position -- with real estate on the brink of collapse, taxes soaring, and companies moving out... Just like people, capital (money) flows to where it is treated best. And NYC is absolutely assaulting businesses and people with money. I could see a fast descent here -- especially if the "producer class" gets nervous and bolts -- it will look like a run on a bank. Which is why I advise New Yorkers with means to leave now -- while you can.

    In the Fox News short interview, the interviewer was talking about Apple saying AI data centers were causing the price hike, and she agreed with that and talked about AI data centers and AI companies. It is true that AI and AI data centers are the cause of shortages and price hikes (including electricity). Yet Fox News itself and NYP do not seem to understand this and instead focus on "breaking up companies like Apple".

    Both Fox and NYP show how low quality they are here.

    I am very confused. AOC, a Democrat socialist, is the one wanting to break up apple. Shouldn't you have a problem with her proposing that and not the media source presenting this complete stupidity?

    I watched the video, they supercut it, it's not clear she's saying "break up apple because of data centers", it seems like she is answering 2 different questions (what to do about AI companies, and then separately - what to do about mega corps, both in regards to "how can the gov help to protect consumers".

    Sounds exactly like what the people want. Rents stay low. It's not like they were building more buildings NY. More capital only brought higher cost with no value.
