Fellow NYC home owner here. Recent one, though.
What are ways in which people are telling you to live?
I'm looking forward to the 3X price jumps of businesses in my neighborhood - it might improve the quality of the food and options. I say that entirely with a straight face - since almost all the food options are 'affordable', the food options are greasy, unhealthy and also lacking in diversity.
My take is, everyone has a right to try to 'make it.' People don't need to take note of how the community was 5, 10, or 50 years ago as the city is continually changing. Almost nowhere in NYC is a neighborhood static in terms of pricepoints, culture or just about anything else.
I think it's reasonable for people who have lived decades someplace to want this preserved, and it's equally reasonable for new people to come in with new ideas.
It's a zero-sum game and so the law has to view these things without biasing any group as much as possible.
