- 0:12Speaker 2: And Friends in the morning Entertaining and informative on the
- 0:16Speaker 2: Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 0:20Speaker 3: All right, tell us what the heck is going on in.
- 0:26Speaker 4: One moment? I know.
- 0:29Speaker 3: What happened San Miller on, Yes, she's on, All right.
- 0:34Speaker 3: I mean I think that song. They played that song
- 0:36Speaker 3: for you. But tell us, tell us, uh, what's going
- 0:40Speaker 3: on in real estate in the You know, Bruce Moser
- 0:43Speaker 3: told us about the commercial markets, you tell us about
- 0:45Speaker 3: the residential markets.
- 0:47Speaker 4: Well, what I really want to talk about, John, is
- 0:49Speaker 4: all these new proposals that suggest that outside capital is
- 0:54Speaker 4: not welcome in New York. I have to tell you, John,
- 0:58Speaker 4: I don't think the cash one is going to pass.
- 1:00Speaker 4: The piano tear one will. But if you're a foreigner,
- 1:03Speaker 4: and last year eighteen thousand apartments were purchased, transactions closed
- 1:08Speaker 4: up sixty percent, we're all cash. So now we're talking
- 1:11Speaker 4: about we don't want cash buyers in New York. We
- 1:13Speaker 4: don't want foreigners in New York. You can't even get
- 1:16Speaker 4: a mortgage if you're a foreigner. The most you you
- 1:19Speaker 4: can get fifty percent. So this is a direct attack
- 1:22Speaker 4: on people that want to be in New York, that
- 1:24Speaker 4: want to invest in our great city, and we're saying
- 1:27Speaker 4: you're not welcome. I think this is going to be
- 1:30Speaker 4: extremely harmful. I think that people are going to sell
- 1:33Speaker 4: I'm already getting phone calls. My entire business is purchased
- 1:37Speaker 4: by investors that want to be and love this city.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Why are we telling them that we're going to charge
- 1:42Speaker 4: you to be here? No, I kind of understand the
- 1:45Speaker 4: transaction of the recording to when you buy an apartment
- 1:48Speaker 4: in New York and you do get a mortgage, you
- 1:50Speaker 4: have to pay about two percent for a mortgage recording tax.
- 1:54Speaker 4: Now he's trying to say that, Okay, we understand we're
- 1:57Speaker 4: losing that money, so we'll put a penalty of one percent.
- 2:01Speaker 4: Maybe I could see that, but it's going to discourage
- 2:05Speaker 4: anybody that wants to be in New York because the
- 2:07Speaker 4: pieda tear tax, and John, you and I have talked
- 2:09Speaker 4: about this in length, is going to and that's an
- 2:12Speaker 4: annual tax that's going to completely discourage foreigners from coming here.
- 2:17Speaker 4: I'm getting phone calls already about it. I think that
- 2:19Speaker 4: it's like a fire on a bridge. It's small. Right now.
- 2:23Speaker 4: The market is still doing very well because we have
- 2:26Speaker 4: a vacancy issue. There's not a lot of apartments right now.
- 2:29Speaker 4: You can see a lot of cranes. There's not a
- 2:30Speaker 4: lot of new construction on the residential side. So we
- 2:34Speaker 4: do see that the rents are very high and the
- 2:36Speaker 4: sales prices have still been stable. But I think this
- 2:40Speaker 4: is going to be very bad to the business. And
- 2:42Speaker 4: I don't I think this is a nail on the
- 2:44Speaker 4: coffin and it concerns me very much.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Well, it's gonna hurt And let me tell you something.
- 2:54Speaker 3: I think that November election. You know, I tried to
- 2:57Speaker 3: be fair and square to everybody, but that November election,
- 3:02Speaker 3: if it hurts business, I mean that congestion tax says
- 3:07Speaker 3: is in. If I drive up and down Third Avenue,
- 3:10Speaker 3: Second Avenue, First Avenue, Madison Avenue, you got empty stares.
- 3:19Speaker 4: John. The biggest thing I don't think people were like
- 3:21Speaker 4: how much New York has been the home and the
- 3:25Speaker 4: love of people from Italy, from China, from Israel, from
- 3:29Speaker 4: all this. They loved New York. It was their dream
- 3:32Speaker 4: to buy apartment in New York. We'll then have a
- 3:34Speaker 4: place in New York, a place in London, a place
- 3:36Speaker 4: in Paris. Now they don't want to be in New York.
- 3:39Speaker 4: This is going to come crashing down. It seems to
- 3:42Speaker 4: me it's almost intentional. We need to stop this. We
- 3:45Speaker 4: need to stop between the anti Semitism and the attack
- 3:48Speaker 4: on the landlords or people, the investors. I want to say,
- 3:52Speaker 4: not landlords, investors. Why do we want to discurge them.
- 3:55Speaker 4: We want to welcome them. We want to say, come here,
- 3:57Speaker 4: spend money. We want your sales tax. We want you
- 4:00Speaker 4: to spend money on ubers, on restaurants. We need these
- 4:04Speaker 4: people for every job, for every I think the numbers
- 4:07Speaker 4: are for every one hundred and fifty thousand dollars of
- 4:09Speaker 4: the salary, we lose seven jobs. That's the mass. You
- 4:13Speaker 4: lose the restaurants and lose the hair salons. We don't
- 4:15Speaker 4: want to lose these people. We want to welcome them. So, John,
- 4:18Speaker 4: we need to stop us.
- 4:22Speaker 3: I agree with you. I agree with you very much.
- 4:25Speaker 3: So and it's uh. You know, we love New York.
- 4:30Speaker 3: We want New York to make it and God blessed
- 4:34Speaker 3: the New York. I mean and Suzanne, thank you for

- 5:16Speaker 5: we've lost the whole week.
- 5:17Speaker 3: There's no sunshine though. The rain is stopping, but there
- 5:20Speaker 3: is no sunshine. And I look up and down Third Avenue.

- 5:39Speaker 7: But it's gonna get heavy about two pm.
- 5:42Speaker 6: Yeah, I want to be.
- 5:45Speaker 3: I think a lot of people came home early because
- 5:47Speaker 3: there was nothing to stick around for.
- 5:49Speaker 7: Maybe, but I certainly you can get I said Rosenberg,
- 5:55Speaker 7: went to the Rockaway Beach. Well, I hope not because
- 5:59Speaker 7: Rockaway Beach was closed, but there were some beaches closed
- 6:01Speaker 7: on Long Island this week. There was some sewage that
- 6:05Speaker 7: leaked into the Long Beach. Boy, I gotta say, I
- 6:10Speaker 7: live very short distance, eight minutes to the parking lots
- 6:13Speaker 7: of Jones Beach, Long Beach, a ton of other beaches wow,
- 6:17Speaker 7: and I'm looking forward to that, but not in this weather.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Guys.
- 6:19Speaker 7: There's two things I don't like to do when it's
- 6:21Speaker 7: even remotely cold, baseball games in the beach. There's nothing
- 6:24Speaker 7: worse than sitting through. My heart goes out to those
- 6:27Speaker 7: Yankee fans who went to that game yesterday. I know
- 6:29Speaker 7: that they got to see Aaron Judge win it with
- 6:31Speaker 7: the late home run, but sitting through a cold baseball game.
- 6:33Speaker 6: Is the worst, absolute worst. It can be football, but
- 6:38Speaker 6: not baseball. It is it is.
- 6:40Speaker 5: But I'm just glad that it's daylight and that it
- 6:43Speaker 5: stopped raining, and that we're going out to great music
