Instead of doing half-measures, @NYGovCuomo should #CancelRent. It would make things clearer for tenants and landlords.
If the governor froze mortgages and all utilities, this would be possible.
3+ million more people lost their jobs this week. Half-measures won’t do.https://twitter.com/ZackFinkNews/status/1258422938161819648 …

but laws impairing private contracts are a more difficult matter, aren't they? we know that from the history of the rent control laws.
NY’s rent control laws say that in extraordinary circumstances - a housing emergency - the state should intervene. Idk abt u but I say this counts!

The courts - and the laws - are not immune to political context, and canceling rent is OVERWHELMINGLY popular.

Finally - as we argue to cancel rent w/ a small landlord hardship fund - we know some landlords can absorb cancel rent and some can’t - those who can’t shd be paid - that address some takings concerns
