Weiner at a forum on housing, Big joke. He's always been bought and sold by REBNY:
"Contradictions and Criticism:
Inconsistency: Weiner's record is viewed by some as inconsistent, with his 1994 vote* contrasting with his later pro-tenant statements. Political Opportunism: Critics have suggested that his shift in stance was politically motivated, particularly during his mayoral run where gaining the support of tenant groups would be beneficial. Tenant Advocacy Groups: Tenant advocacy groups remain critical of Weiner's role in weakening rent control through the 1994 vote*. In conclusion, Anthony Weiner's record on rent regulation is marked by a controversial vote in 1994* that is seen as contributing to the weakening of rent stabilization in NYC. While his later pronouncements suggested a more pro-tenant stance, his earlier vote continues to be a source of criticism and debate."
*"1994 Vote on Vacancy Decontrol: A significant point of contention is Weiner's 1994 vote in favor of a bill that allowed landlords to remove apartments from rent stabilization when they became vacant if the rent was $2,000 or higher.
This vote, along with similar votes from other council members, is widely seen as a major contributor to the increase in rents in New York City. Critics argue that this vote weakened rent regulations and fueled the rise of market-rate rents. Weiner has defended his vote, arguing that it was necessary to prevent a complete dismantling of the rent regulation system."
this should be on zoom or the at very least streamed
1994 is pre historic by now. People can change their minds and opinions through out the years. I know I do.
