Yup!
I'm a landlord in NYC, and I'll just refuse to rent to undesirables. No single men. I'll get Bill Cosby 'pound cake; level before leasing to felons. Housing discrimination and intentional vacancies is going to go up. Hell, its happening now. Most of my tenants are black women. With one elder black couple.
I follow a NY Landlord group, and many landlords either did not vote, or voted Republican this last election to send a message to Democrats in NY to shape up. They clearly didn't catch the hint. Zeldin had a close margin, and Democrats lost 5 seats. They sh*t on the working people, to prop up the rich an poor. How does this benefit the public at large? Was there not a case this year in NY about a person who was let free after being in jail for 20+ years for murder. This person was renting an apartment, and dismembered another person, and stuff them in a suitcase. Neighbors shook and traumatized.
They just will make renting while black so difficult, if this passes. Pro-cop Adams supporting this because he needs violence to win elections. Owners and landlords are going to put their foot down, and keep the vacancies going. They may have removed financial incentives with vacancies, but economically strong owners will continue to holdout.
