subsidized housing. or should i say lifestyle

how many more of these are out there? forget airbnb, how many are subletting their apts illegally or have second homes?

Thanks for posting yesterday's New York Post.

We are all paying for this women "living" in the rent stabilized unit and making 4500 a month as the city is not collecting the proper taxes on the unit. She should not just lose her apartment but be fined and jailed as she makes it bad for the truly needy

It's an outrage that the landlord tolerated this for so long ... he should have the building taken away from him.

More evidence that rent stabilization must be ended. It is a slap in the face to everyone else who pays market rate.

Put your money where your mouth is. The landlord's lobby doesn't take donations, but you can become an associate member for only $100: http://rsanyc.net/membership-application.html

I disagree with alanhart.

... but not before he's fined heavily for having an illegal banner hanging from his building.

how tiring--now tell us about the gucci-clad person in frt of you in the lineat zabar's buying caviar with food stamps.

Tiring? From the guy who still rants about his ex-wife and ex-business partners?

Abuse of RS is SO common. I know a guy with a nice house in the Hamptons and an RS apartment. It's a yawn.

But also an outrage. Grrr.

Is that abuse of the system as the rules are/were written? You do realize that the RS laws had little to nothing to do with income as initially written, and I doubt those that currently qualify for the "middle-income" new units are not given renewals if their income increases.

Aboutready, you lost the right to take the moral high ground on this and many social issues when you took the money.

You lost all credibility long ago. On many levels.

"I know you are but what am I?" That's the best you could do AR? You need more time with your husband to hear about his time in the courtroom. And maybe a few fewer vacations.

It might surprise you to learn that landlords are not the only people opposed to rent stabilization.

Aboutready doesn't care either way at this point. She took her settlement windfall - at the expense of others - and ran to Williamsburg.

Actually, most landlords are pro-rent stabilization. It gives them enormous tax benefits to develop.

Aboutready, are you planning on moving back to a rent stabilized community? Maybe try your hand at another government subsidy and personal windfall?

On the case I wrote about above, it's actually a rent controlled apartment, not a rent stabilized apartment, that this Hamptons guy lives in as his primary residence, in Manhattan.

It sounds like he's done much better in life than you have. I hope we're talking east of the Canal, though.

Flutistic, how many rent controlled apartments still exist? What percentage are they of the total market? How many RS apartments are above market rate. Or the developer would not have built without the RS element? Your arguments are not flutstic, they are simplistic.

aboutready, if you were any good, you would refute Flutistic with an argument backed by logic and fact instead of merely with questions that you yourself can't answer, plus a dose of sarcasm.

If you were any good, you wouldn't have to change your handle all the time. You wouldn't obsessively post about me and my situation. And you would add value by actually discussing real estate rather than sarcastically and falsely discussing the so-called details of my real estate history. You lie, incessantly. Maybe you're having fun, but you don't seem to be.

That's your rebuttal?
You can't even point to what I supposedly lie about. No facts, no logic.
As far as fun, are you sure you are really in a position to judge fun and happiness?
