Protect small business owners by enacting commercial rent regulation in New York City.
Why is this important?
Everywhere I look in my upscale Manhattan neighborhood I see the blight of empty storefronts. Small businesses constantly fail, sometimes businesses that have been in the same location for years, because there is no regulation of commercial rent. I am saddened by the loss of businesses I have patronized and business owners who have been my neighbors over the years.
