Share Better Coalition to Stop Illegal Hotels

On September 12, I helped launch the Share Better coalition, which includes over 100 elected officials, housing groups, and community activists united in the fight against illegal hotels. We cannot sit by while illegal hotel operators and unscrupulous landlords further exacerbate New York City's housing crisis by taking units off the market to rent to travelers, while NYC residents are priced out of the neighborhoods they call home. Illegal hotels place residents and visitors at risk and must be stopped. As I said at the launch event, we're all are in favor of the share economy but what about the fair economy?
