I’m a big fan of Pat Kiernan, the star anchor for Spectrum News NY1. I especially like his “in the papers” spots and I’ve been on his morning show a few times. He interviewed me virtually to set the stage to describe NYC’s housing challenge.
Check it out!

Michael Herzenberg of NY1 did a great story on the exodus from Stuy Town after the landlord provided terms for people to break their leases. The story was inspired by a press release from CHIP (I haven’t seen) which talked about the pandemic exodus as the reason for the rising vacancies. I thought that was a bit of hyperbole since the other key factor has been the inability of the real estate brokerage industry to do in-house showings by state mandate until June 22nd. The lack of mobility has also been a key factor in driving vacancy higher.

Enjoyed speaking with Michael Herzenberg of NY1 on the Super Tall story in Manhattan. This is a great summary of the phenomenon.

Yesterday I joined Pat Kiernan on NY1’s Mornings on 1 show to talk about the proposed tax GOP tax bills agree to by the House and the Senate. Pat is a local broadcasting legend so it was great to actually meet him in person.
Later that day a couple of sticking points separating the two versions of the bills were addressed in the congressional committee. Once they agree to the terms, they’ll probably hold a vote next week and then send to the president for signature.

Jill Urban of NY1 News came by my office to talk about the state of the New York rental market – she did a great job conveying the state of the market.

Shazia Khan of NY1 does a nice local segment on foreign buyers (no pun intended). You can’t really tell, but due to tripod issues, the video camera is sitting on a pile of my books.
Admittedly, NYC always over hypes participation by foreign buyers (remember stories of Irish carpenters buying Manhattan condos?) but its worth paying attention to.
The dollar remains pretty weak compared to the Euro.

List Price Key In Real Estate Slowdown
By: Jill Urban
It’s all about setting the right price in the current market – sellers have more properties to compete with and need to consider all inferior amenities when setting their list price.
Jill called me to do this piece during an unbelievable downpour on Thursday. You really can’t tell I was soaked.

My firm released the 1Q 2007 Manhattan Market Overview that we author for [Prudential Douglas Elliman](http://www.prudentialelliman.com) today. Its pretty much consumed most of my time for the past week and I am glad it is finally out. The “pretty” version should be online by the end of the day.
Note: I am equally thrilled that I won my March Madness pool last night with a Florida win.
The numbers were released and my summary of their interpretation were provided to the media for the coverage today. The actual [data](https://www.millersamuel.com/data) and [charts](https://www.millersamuel.com/charts) will be available later today as well.
A year ago, I began posting the links to the coverage of each report as they are released to see how each media outlet reports the market using the exact same data. I find it to be an interesting process.
This list of articles is presented basically when I found them. I also include some duplicate news feeds because I like to see what regions are interested in the story – I place those near the bottom because of the repetition. I’ll keep adding links through the end of the week.

Amy Zimmer wrote about the latest [attempt to break the record for riding the entire New York City subway system continuously [Metro]](http://ny.metro.us/metro/local/article/The_next_stop_is/4083.html).
[The 25 hours, 11 minute record was sent in 1998 [Time for Kids]](http://www.timeforkids.com/TFK/class/wr/article/0,17585,90039,00.html) by Michael Falsetta and his friend Salvatore Babones. Michael is a senior executive at our commercial firm, [Miller Cicero, LLC.](http://www.millercicero.com/)
Falsetta, an executive at a real estate firm, remembers drinking just one liter of water and eating three Power Bars. Babones, a sociology professor at the University of Pittsburgh, said, “We took 10 minutes off and missed a transfer at Jamaica station so that we could use the restrooms there.”
Babones doubted their record would be broken, but his partner said they “would come out of retirement and issue a challenge” if their record fell.
I love the convenience of the NYC subway system – I use it nearly every business day. However, I don’t know if I love it enough to ride for 24 hours straight.
