In this episode, we break down what’s really going on with New York City’s housing crisis — from strict rent control and proposed rent freezes to a billion-dollar bailout for “distressed” landlords. We talk about how rising insurance, taxes, and maintenance costs crush owners when income is capped, and what happens when the city steps in with taxpayer-funded rescue plans. Is this sustainable, or are we just kicking the can down the road? 

Then we bring it back home and look at how big city projects — like Omaha’s new railcar line — can quietly bleed local restaurants and small businesses while everyone cheers “progress.” We share a Golden Nugget on staying ahead of city planning so you don’t buy into a “great deal” that gets wrecked by construction, street closures, and shifting tax burdens.

If you own rentals, run a small business, or just want to understand how politics and policy actually hit your bottom line, this one’s for you. Listen in, share this episode with another investor, and if it hits home, leave us a 5-star review so we can keep calling this stuff out in real time.
