# NYC Budget Crisis: Trump's Spending Cuts Throw NY Finances into Turmoil

<img src="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2025/03/27/multimedia/27met-budget-gchz/27met-budget-gchz-articleLarge.jpg?quality=75&amp;auto=webp&amp;disable=upscale" alt="Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York" width="600" height="400">

**Governor Kathy Hochul** is facing a budget crisis as President Trump's plans to slash federal spending leave New York's financial future uncertain.  The state initially anticipated $91 billion in federal aid, a figure now looking increasingly unrealistic.

## Billions in Federal Aid at Risk

The state's budget, due April 1st but expected to be delayed, relies heavily on this federal funding.  The **uncertainty surrounding potential cuts** has left state leaders scrambling to understand the potential impact on crucial programs, including the expansion of free school lunches and Pell Grants.

##  Uncertain Future

Senator Liz Krueger, the Democratic leader of the Finance Committee, notes that significant portions of the budget may need to be reevaluated if federal funding is cut.  This means that even after the budget is passed, major revisions are likely, creating a chaotic situation for New York's financial planning.  The current budget projections also don't account for recent **stock market turbulence** following President Trump's tariff announcements, adding another layer of complexity to an already precarious situation.

The situation highlights the **significant reliance of states on federal funding**, and the potential devastating consequences of drastic federal budget cuts.



State leaders no longer expect to get the $91 billion in federal aid they originally anticipated, but exactly how much they will get remains unknown as they try to pass a budget.

# NYC Takes on Scaffolding Eyesores: A New Era for City Life

<img src="https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/16086875_032625-wabc-scaffolding-img.jpg" alt="City Council approves sweeping changes to scaffolding laws">

New York City has approved major changes to its scaffolding laws, aiming to address the pervasive issue of unsightly and sometimes dangerous scaffolding structures across the city.  For years, these structures have cluttered sidewalks, blocked views, and even posed safety risks, as seen in a recent collapse outside Yeshiva University. 

**The problem?**  Over 300 miles of NYC sidewalks are currently covered by scaffolding, creating a negative impact on the quality of life for residents.  Council members pointed out that these sheds darken sidewalks, hinder law enforcement efforts, and even attract crime.

**The solution?**  A package of bills passed by the City Council aims to update the outdated 1980s scaffolding regulations.  The hope is that these changes will lead to a significant reduction in the number of unsightly and long-term scaffolding installations.

Council Member Erik Bottcher highlighted the widespread resignation among people that the excessive scaffolding was simply an unavoidable part of city life, and expressed the council's hope to change that perception.

This move comes after numerous complaints from residents and officials alike, signaling a major shift in how the city manages construction and its impact on public spaces.  The changes promise a more visually appealing and safer urban environment for all New Yorkers.

New York City voted yes to sweeping changes for scaffolding standards on Wednesday.

# NYC Apartment Market: A Tale of Two Sectors

<img src="https://specials-images.forbesimg.com/imageserve/67e2f61677f2db4a0fe88f1b/Overhead-view-First-Avenue-with-traffic-drivings-through-the-buildings-of-Manhattan/960x0.jpg?fit=scale" alt="Overhead view First Avenue with traffic drivings through the buildings of Manhattan in New York City">

New York City's multifamily sales exploded to **$8.9 billion in 2024**, a 14% jump from 2023.  But this success story has two sides:

## The Free Market Frenzy

**Free market** buildings dominated, accounting for 63% of the dollar volume.  Manhattan and Brooklyn saw particularly strong growth, fueled by **attractive pricing** and **high rental demand**.  Investors, including major firms and international buyers, are flocking to this sector.

## Rent-Stabilized Reality Check

In contrast, the **rent-stabilized** market is struggling.  Values have plummeted by **35-60%** since their peak, due to rising expenses and rent caps imposed by the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act (HSTPA).  Many owners are eager to sell but are hampered by high leverage and difficulty covering loans.

<img src="https://specials-images.forbesimg.com/imageserve/67e30adb02e76810b4125d2e/Multifamily-Real-Estate-Timeline/960x0.jpg?fit=scale" alt="Multifamily Real Estate Timeline">

However, discounted prices are attracting some buyers, particularly family offices and private individuals betting on future regulatory changes.

## Affordable Housing: Preservation Efforts

The affordable housing sector, while down from 2023, still saw significant investment in 2024, driven by **preservation efforts** and government initiatives like **Section 610** of the Private Housing Finance Law.

## Financing the Future

Despite the contrasting fortunes of different sectors, there's ample capital available for well-positioned investments. Lenders favor free market assets, while the rent-stabilized market still has some financing options, including private lenders offering flexible terms.

# Simcha Felder Wins NYC Council Special Election in a Landslide

<img src="https://cdn.cityandstateny.com/media/img/cd/2025/03/25/54408402154_5b004bb4d4_o/860x394.jpg?1742952840" alt="State Sen. Simcha Felder, right, speaks with state Senate Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gianaris.">

State Senator **Simcha Felder** has secured a resounding victory in the New York City Council special election, capturing **81.7%** of the vote.  This win marks his return to the council after previously serving two terms.  His opponent, **Harold “Heshy” Tischler**, a self-proclaimed “Team Trump” candidate and known COVID-19 rioter, failed to gain significant traction.

Despite low voter turnout (just under 700 in early voting), Felder's win was decisive.  His experience as a veteran lawmaker and prior representation of the largely Orthodox Jewish district in Brooklyn played a significant role in his success.  While Felder's past political alliances, including a period of caucusing with the Republican Senate conference, might have been expected to influence the results, his strong local support overshadowed these factors.

Felder's victory indicates that **MAGA politics** may not have as strong of a hold in this specific district as initially anticipated.

## Felder's Political Journey:

Felder's political career has seen its share of twists and turns.  He previously caused a stir by aligning with the Republican state Senate conference, even giving them a slim majority. However, after Democrats took control of the Senate, he rejoined the Democratic party.


“Team Trump” candidate Heshy Tischler failed to garner much support in the largely Orthodox Jewish Brooklyn district.
