A new trend in NYC is for uber rich people to buy up literal airspace to build ugly pencil like towers for apartments they will never live in. Its a investment nothing more. There is a housing shortage in the city and officials have the nerve to wonder why? Fix the loophole in the law that allows this and build only affordable housing.
Housing should not be a privilege only the rich can afford. They should fix the law stop construction of these luxury towers and tear these eyesores down.
Let these rich people build mansions instead how about a novel idea of them not having investments at the expense of everyone to flaunt their wealth?
Your thoughts NSG?

No one is renting these places out. Its merely a place for uber rich to park their massive wealth. No one lives in these towers. They are eyesores and a waste of space.

The poor can't live there anyway, so what?
No matter if you even let them live rent free there's still extremely high food costs, transport costs .. why should everyone subsidise them?
Much cheaper and better to move them out to suburbs. Or other cities in NY.
