Скачать или смотреть How Disasters Shaped New York City - Pandemics, WW2 & Rent Control

How did natural disasters shape the history and development of New York City? In today's episode, I take a look at a multitude of major historic disasters which have forced New York City to improve, evolve, innovate and thrive - even when the odds were stacked against it.

I also cover the history of Rent Control and Rent Stabilization - two key policies that shaped the residential real estate market in New York City over the years. Did you know that some people are still paying $100/month for NYC apartments? Watch to find out why.

New York City will recover from the current pandemic and the changes that we are seeing and experiencing today will likely reshape industries and government policies for the better. In part, this video serves as a reminder of some darker days that NYC has already lived through, and the tough fighting spirit that it displayed during those difficult times.
