The Common Council's decision to opt in to New York State's Good Cause Eviction Law was the topic of a report on News 10 tonight: "Hudson 9th locality to opt-in to Good Cause Eviction." The report includes comments from Vicky Daskaloudi, councilmember from the Fifth Ward.
Let's see how much attention Hudson is paying this time.
ReplyDeleteFor The Many and their spokesperson Brahvan Ranga cannot be accused of not being transparent. Thus spake he: "This is only the first step. There is additional legislation that we are pushing for on the local and state level that will further help address the housing crisis".
So back they will be with new legislation in tow. It's anyone's guess what it will be but we can narrow it down quite a bit by looking at https://forthemany.org/our-work/housing-for-the-many/.
A bunch of those are at the state level, e.g. Expanding Rent Stabilization which as it stands currently isn't applicable to Hudson without changing the underlying ETPA.
Others can be enacted at the municipal level such as Homes Are Not Hotels. Some of those sound harmless such as the Tenant Opportunity To Purchase Act but in reality can turn any multi-unit building into public housing.
Given that there's barely been any reactions on FB about the passing of good-cause eviction, I will for now assume it's still Hudson business as usual.
