So the comptroller hasn't filed a “spotlight” regarding this (maybe too busy with his mayoral bid), but I have found some alternative numbers that seem credile. https://www.cushmanwakefield.com/en/united-states/insights/us-marketbeats/new-york-city-area-marketbeats
They report 23.6% vacancy in Q2 2024, and 22.6% in Q2 2025. The comptroller's numbers for Q2 2024 were 15.2% vacancy, so clearly they're measuring things quite differently… but anyway this is likely the best numbers I'm going to find, and I expect that whatever their sources are, the trends at least should be similar.
So I'm gonna mark this as "remain", and if any of the five of you wanna take umbrage with my methods, I offer my sincerest apologies.
