Mamdani Hails Rat-Infested Bronx Slum As 'Model' For His Housing Agenda
Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York on a slew of socialist promises marketed under the banner of affordability.
On his first day in office, he signed three executive orders to address the housing crisis. The first revives the Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants, led by tenant advocate Cea Weaver, to coordinate agencies and crack down on abusive landlords. Another creates the LIFT task force to fast-track city-owned sites for housing, while the SPEED task force will cut red tape that delays construction. Days later, he picked 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx's Morris Heights to introduce Dina Levy as the new Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) commissioner.
Back in 2011, Levy, who will now earn a $277,605 annual salary as Mamdani's HPD commissioner, helped flip the 102-unit building from private ownership to the nonprofit Workforce Housing Advisors. Her group, Urban Homesteading Assistance Board, teame...

Have investors missed the boat on Japan′s property market amid tensions with China? (SCMP)
|
|
|
Japan's property market was less likely to deliver significant rewards to investors because of heightened geopolitical tensions with China, more than a tightened monetary policy, according to analysts.
“The yield spread is likely to narrow as cap rates are unlikely to widen,” said Chinatsu Hani, head of research at Tokyo-based CBRE. “However, spreads should remain in positive territory.”
The Bank of Japan in March last year began unwinding its nearly decade-long negative interest rate policy –......
