">OpEd: Far Left "Progressives" Hurting New Yorkers, Literally
- Politics
- 4 months ago
New York City prides itself on being at the forefront of innovation and adaptability. However, when it comes to the regulation of motorized bikes, we are falling dangerously behind, and the consequences are piling up—literally and figuratively. Despite growing evidence of the hazards posed by these vehicles, some city politicians, like Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, continue to oppose registering motorized bikes. Their resistance endangers public safety and overlooks the needs of the very communities they claim to represent.

">Undoing NYC’s Short-Term Rental Crisis: Repeal Local Law 18
- Real Estate
- 5 months ago
Who really wins when homeowners lose? This is the question New Yorkers should be asking as Local Law 18 continues to financially cripple thousands of private homeowners across our city. What was once a thriving short-term rental market that supported thousands of small homeowners and local businesses has been gutted by a sweeping regulation that failed to account for the diversity and complexity of our housing ecosystem. A new bill proposes to undo some of this damage by allowing short-term rentals in one- and two-family homes. This proposal isn’t just a step in the right direction—it’s a lifeline for working-class families and small communities struggling under the weight of this misguided law.

The decision, made public via Trump’s Truth Social platform, has sparked significant controversy, particularly given Williams’ reputation for aggressively pursuing high-profile cases involving prominent Black figures.

A recently introduced bill, Bill 1107, led by Council Members Farah Louis (Prime Sponsor), Adrienne Adams, Mercedes Narcisse, and Kevin Riley, proposes critical amendments to New York City’s stringent short-term rental laws. This legislation seeks to address the limitations imposed by Local Law 18 (LL18), which had effectively eliminated short-term rental opportunities for many homeowners in one- and two-family homes across the city.
