If the Fed Reserve funds its over budget (including $2.5 Billion renovation) with interest earned on securities, isn't it directly or indirectly against the Fed's interests to reduce interest rates @grok? @cnn @pulte #federalreserve #interestrates cnn.com/2025/07/24/pol…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. The long-simmering clash between President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was on full public display during a Thursday afternoon tour of the renovation site at the central...

Ok so this gov’t grocery store in Kansas City. It’s cost KC taxpayers tens of millions and lost 900k last year. Imagine the loss in NYC if @ZohranKMamdani plan to add 3 of these was realized. #nyc #grocery #socialism foxbusiness.com/economy/govern… #FoxBusiness

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. A community-owned grocery store in Kansas City received millions in subsidies but has struggled with inventory and customer traffic as other cities weigh publicly owned grocery stores.

Hang on! So, we went from national home prices being too high and unaffordable to national home prices being alarmingly affordable? It's all related supply and demand - which varies depending on interest in area. #HousingMarket #RealEstate @Newsweek newsweek.com/house-prices-f…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. A recent report found that house prices are now falling in 110 of the 300 largest metro areas, up from only 31 in January.

It’s been months since the @NewYorkStateAG mortgage fraud case was referred to @AGPamBondi @FBIDirectorKash. Story has since oddly disappeared (crickets). It’s either fraud, no fraud or not a priority. Wonder which. @CNN @pulte amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/19…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing the Democratic New York attorney general’s real estate transactions, Director Kash Patel confirmed in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.

The answer to a housing affordability problem in NYC (or anywhere else) is not socialism, not more government/more regulation. It’s the opposite. Let’s incentivize builders and landlords again so it makes financial sense to create this much needed housing. #realestate #housing

Looks like @NYCMayor’s “City of Yes” attempts to force zoning changes on my hometown of Staten Island while bypassing State environmental requirements. SI not having it as single family zoning needs to be protected. @siadvance #cityofyes #nycrealestate silive.com/news/2025/07/c…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. Opponents of the plan brought the case in March, and Wednesday saw its first court hearing.

As eloquently pointed out by my partner @pierredebbasesq in this segment, Mamdani policies would be terrible for NYC real estate. #nycrealestate #mamdani

Criminal referral" is popular term but means nothing until charges are filed. NYAG "referral" already left the news cycle. Lying on an application for preferred rates is illegal plain and simple. Let's see what happens. #mortgagefraud @jsolomonReports bit.ly/4eVR9dL

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. Schiff is facing scrutiny over claiming two primary residences, one in California and one in Maryland, awarding him tax and loan benefits in an arrangement that may violate federal law.

Per @pulte @FHFA, @FannieMae has balance sheet of $4.4 T (#25 on Fortune 500), @FreddieMac $3.4 T (#38). As all bail-out $$ has been repaid, seems like a good time to privatize (w/ oversight), lower Fed borrowing rates, cut red tape and unleash the housing market. #housing…

Appreciation (capital gains) on a primary residence never should have been taxed in first place. Eliminating it completely will spark activity. Time to incentivize home ownership. #housing #capitalgains @Newsweek @realDonaldTrump newsweek.com/trump-eliminat…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. "I think it's going to be a great incentive," Trump said when asked about a bill that could eliminate a tax on primary home sales.

Michael J. Romer@MichaelRomerEsq · Jul 14

Great idea. Ending capital gains tax on ALL sales of primary residences nationwide would increase housing inventory and incentivize homeownership. #capitalgains @Newsweek @pulte @realDonaldTrump newsweek.com/home-sale-tax-…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill would eliminate capital gains tax on the sale of homes considered primary residences.

Socialize the housing market? Turning private homes into communal living. Good lord! These are some scary, radical proposals by @ZohranKMamdani. @FoxNews #nycmayor #nyc #housing #socialism foxnews.com/politics/resur…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. Democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani pushes housing proposal that promotes living in communes during a 2021 video released by nonprofit advocacy group The Gravel Institute.

Michael J. Romer@MichaelRomerEsq · Jul 3

Time to step aside indeed! Have admit that @BillAckman is spot on in his analysis by urging @andrewcuomo to step aside and endorse @NYCMayor Adams. It's the only logical path to avoiding socialism in NYC @nypost #nycmayor #newyorkcity #Socialism #NYC nypost.com/2025/07/03/us-…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. Billionaire hedge fund titan Bill Ackman has urged a "subdued" former Governor Andrew Cuomo to drop out of New York City's mayoral race -- as he officially backed Eric Adams’ bid for reelection.

For those of us in high tax states, the BBB (if passed) increases State & Local Income Tax (SALT) deduction from 10k to 40k. @CNBC #BBB #SALT #incometax cnbc.com/amp/2025/07/01…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. Senate Republicans’ tax bill raises the "SALT" deduction cap to $40,000. Here's who could benefit from the change.

Michael J. Romer@MichaelRomerEsq · Jul 1

NYC Rent Guidelines Board approved 4.5% increase on 2 year leases/ 3% on 1 year leases. Not what landlords wanted to keep up with expenses BUT further proof that @ZohranKMamdani's rent freezes are not realistic. @CBSNewYork #rent #nycmayor #landlord cbsnews.com/newyork/news/n…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. The New York City Rent Guidelines Board voted on Monday night to increase rates for rent-stabilized apartments.

Michael J. Romer@MichaelRomerEsq · Jul 1

NYC not Socialist yet! Updated mayoral results are in. Only 446,163 voted for @ZohranKMamdani and 580,620 voted for other Democrats. Those 580k + millions who didn't vote could easily put @NYCMayor OR @andrewcuomo in City Hall. @NBCNewYork #NYCMayor nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. New York City’s Board of Elections released the first tally of ranked-choice voting results Tuesday, a now-less-climactic tally that appears to seal the Zohran Mamdani deal for Democrats after the...

Michael J. Romer@MichaelRomerEsq · Jul 1

Why voting (and weather) actually matters. @nypost predicted this. Only 1 million of the 3.5 million NYC registered Democrats voted in the mayoral primary a 100 degree day. Don't be too quick to assume @ZohranKMamdani beats @NYCMayor Adams. #NYCMayor nypost.com/2025/06/21/us-…

MichaelRomerEsq's tweet card. Primary election results on Tuesday -- the worst day of the NYC heatwave -- when temperatures could hit 102 degrees, may be good for far lefties and bad for Andrew Cuomo, pundits said.
