Boortz Report: How Rent Control Could Open the Door to Government Housing

Boortz Report: How Rent Control Could Open the Door to Government Housing

Boortz argues that New York’s rent control laws could pave the way for greater government ownership of housing under Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He explains how limits on rent increases can leave landlords unable to afford repairs and upgrades, causing properties to fall into disrepair and become uninhabitable. Boortz contends that this could allow the city to acquire or seize those properties, renovate them, and convert them into government-controlled housing, with middle-income property owners bearing the brunt of the impact.

Boortz Report: Seeing America Through the Eyes of Visitors

Boortz reflects on meeting FIFA tourists who were amazed by everyday American experiences, from restaurant portions and free drink refills to Buc-ee’s and Waffle House. Their appreciation prompts him to think about how constant exposure to the news can overshadow the positive aspects of life in the United States. He encourages listeners to spend less time focused on the daily news cycle and more time appreciating the country from the perspective of visitors seeing it for the first time.

Boortz Report: A Grizzly Bear Lesson Every Hiker Should Hear

Boortz shares a humorous story from a trip to West Yellowstone, where he asked a local outdoorsman whether carrying a .45 pistol was enough protection against grizzly bears. The man jokingly suggested filing down the barrel because a handgun would be useless against a charging grizzly. Boortz uses the anecdote to emphasize that bear spray, not a handgun, is the recommended defense when hiking in bear country, ending with a tongue-in-cheek remark about its usefulness in other situations.
