The article is fine and sticks to the facts of the law and how it’s being rolled out. The title is just clickbait. But I agree that it’s an absurdity to describe this as an apocalypse while shrugging off the staggering human suffering caused by the housing crisis in New York and many other cities.

Also, pro-tip: if you click the cross-post button, Lemmy auto-generates several mirror links to get around the paywall.
