KINGSTON – Despite the common council’s override of Kingston Mayor Steven Noble’s veto of tenant protection legislation, he continues to justify the reasoning for his action.
The mayor said while he still supports rent stabilization, the issue of affordable housing must be multifaceted.
“There is no magic want that will fix our housing shortage in Kingston. We have to take a comprehensive and thoughtful approach that carefully examines every aspect, every gap, every detail. This is the approach that my administration will continue to take, and as I have said many times, I support keeping rent stabilization for buildings larger than 22 units, which is what the facts clearly support,” he said.
Noble said the city has been in the forefront of the housing issue on all fronts.
