The claim that “New York now forces homeowners to offer their property to the government or NGOs before selling” isn’t true. The new rule only applies to certain distressed rental buildings in New York City, not regular private homes. Owners still get to sell on the open market after nonprofits get a short first-look period.
🚨 This is real. And it’s happening right now.
New York just passed the so-called “COPA Act” — a law that would force homeowners to offer their property to the government or NGOs before they can sell it freely.
And one city councilwoman blew the whistle.
