Op-Ed: The luxury rent control proposal in Jersey City is a vibe-based policy

In an editorial, Jersey City resident Ivan Ovalle gives his take on why he’s deemed the luxury rent control proposal before a City Council a vibe-based policy. Jersey City has endured significant strain so far this year from a 15% property tax increase to a mayoral staff overhaul and the removal of public trash cans. It has taken a toll on residents across every ward.

Dem councilwoman rips Mamdani’s affordable-housing fast-track plan: ‘He doesn’t know anything’

Dem City Councilwoman Gale Brewer blasted Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday for not knowing “anything’’ about housing, as she and other pols weighed his nominees for the powerful local Planning Commission. “This is a fine mayor, but he doesn’t know anything about housing or development. He knows other things,” the Upper West Side rep said at the council session where Hizzoner’s five picks were pressed on whether they’d stand up to his affordable-housing policies. The city Planning Commission will get final say over affordable-housing rezonings in the 12 neighborhoods built with the least amount of it, after a November 2025 ballot measure stripped the City Council of its voting power in the approval process starting Jan. 1. City Councilwoman Gale Brewer speaks at a news conference in Central Park on Oct. 26, 2026. Robert Miller for NY Post UK’s dire warning: Resist Islamist politics — or lose America’s freedom The city’s typical seven-month rezoning review process for affordable-housing projects in the 12 neighborhoods also will be shortened to a 90 days as part of the new laws. Brewer, whose district is among the 12 targeted neighborhoods, has raged against both changes. “I’ve done about over 200 [proposed-rezoning reviews], and I

Stewart-Cousins eyes ‘progressive taxation’ push

With help from Molly Reinmann HAPPY TUESDAY. This is Nick Reisman in Albany. Massive Democratic majorities are returning to Albany in January, giving a boost to the tax-the-rich forces. I’ve got new reporting on that dynamic. Plus my colleague has the details on a New York City Council hearing next month on student sexual assault. Have news tips or just want to share what’s on your mind? Reach me at nreisman@politico.com . Driving The Day A MASSIVE MAJORITY : Legislative Democrats will come roaring back to Albany next year with turbocharged majorities in the state Senate and Assembly. They intend to use that refreshed mandate to major effect — especially when it comes to pursuing what Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins called “progressive taxation.” “We’ve always looked at the ability of those with extraordinary wealth to be able to pay more, do more,” she told Playbook in an interview Monday. “That’s been something that our conference has talked about.” What those proposals will look like won’t be clear for months. But if the past is any guide , the Democrat-dominated Legislature will likely seek a suite of income tax hikes on the richest New Yorkers — changes designed to generate
