Fair Housing, Fair Fees: The New Broker Fee Law

This week, we’re joined by Councilmember Chi Ossé of the 36th District (Bed-Stuy & North Crown Heights) to break down the FARE Act—a new law he sponsored to regulate broker fees in New York City. With the law set to take effect in June, Councilmember Ossé shares the motivation behind the bill, the challenges of getting it passed, and how it aligns NYC with practices already in place in cities like Chicago and Los Angeles. We explore the complexities of housing policy, broker fees, and the broader implications for both tenants and landlords. In conversation with Rabbi Yaacov Behrman, Councilmember Ossé engages with thoughtful questions and alternative perspectives, offering a nuanced discussion on legislative action and housing reform. Tune in for an insightful discussion on policymaking, civic engagement, and how local government is addressing fairness in NYC’s rental market amid an ongoing housing crisis.

Will Congress pass the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship?

In the first episode, Yaacov Behrman interviews guest Yehoshua (Jason) Bedrick, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a former New Hampshire state representative, a Chasidic Jew, and one of the nation’s foremost experts on school choice. The discussion focused on the latest legislation regarding a new federal tax credit for contributions to organizations that provide scholarships for elementary school students attending private schools. This legislation has a high probability of passing in the current budget and could have a major impact on Yeshivas. Will New York and other Democratic states that oppose school choice be included in the bill? Listen to the podcast to learn why your state may be included or excluded from the bill, and find out how you can play a role in what happens. Together, we can strengthen our communities and make a difference through voting, staying engaged, and getting involved. The views expressed in this podcast are solely those of Rabbi Behrman and his guests.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
