Last week, the NYC Rent Guidelines Board voted to freeze the rent for roughly 1 million rent stabilized apartments.
The lone board member who opposed the freeze, Arpit Gupta, spoke to me this week to share why he thinks the policy is counterproductive.

I'm happy to report that I'll be joining @DailyMail as a New York Reporter on April 15! I'm super glad to be a part of a great, talented team, and I can't wait to start.
Sending a heartfelt thanks to the folks at my last job who helped me grow as a journalist.
Apparently a 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit New York. I’m so dumb that my first thought was that someone threw a grenade just outside my window
SBF’s legal team filed a last minute mercy plea in the form of letters from both friends of Sam and people who didn’t know him but felt sympathy b/c they have neurodivergent children.
The letters referenced SBF’s veganism and his love of farm animals.

Unfortunately last week was my last @blockworks . I will definitely miss working with such world class, talented/dedicated individuals and wish the company the very best in navigating through to the next bull market.
I am now on the look out for new opportunities. Don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s chat!
Sadly, yesterday was my last day at Blockworks.
I’ll always be proud of what I accomplished there, including covering SBF’s trial live from SDNY.
Thanks to everyone who helped me and taught me invaluable lessons along the way. You know who you are 😉
Shouting out @caseywagnerr who’s still camping out at the courthouse at ungodly hours just to get a seat. Go follow her for the best coverage!

Today was first time Sam Bankman-Fried spoke in his trial, here are some of the best moments:
Prosecution: was it your view that Alameda Research was allowed to spend FTX customer deposits (per PAA)?
SBF: I wouldn’t put it that way, but to some degree, YES.
1/7

Not saying Sam committed perjury, but I’m less than convinced a written “document retention policy” ever existed

SBF took the stand today…kind of.
He endured questions from both sides without the jury present.
This was done so the judge can hear SBF’s testimony to decide what’s admissible.
But tomorrow the training wheels come off. Jury will be back, so follow @blockworks for more!
