Why is NYC the only major city in the U.S. that insists on giving out luxury apartments to people who have not earned it? Economically, it makes no sense because it only drives up the rent prices for everyone else by limiting the supply of high quality apartments. Will NYC ever learn that these well meaning liberal programs simply don't work?
Rent control, rent stabilization, 80/20, subsidized housing all just raise the price for everyone else - renters and owners. Not sure why people think they have a right to live in Manhattan.
jgr, i agree with you entirely. Living in a nice building in manhattan is not a god given right. But according to the liberals who run this city, it apparently is.
I sincerely hope that NYC gets its act together and get rid of these insane rent policies.

Cracker Boy, the Holidays are definitely sending your mental health to a new low. This is the very topic that you started with when you began plaguing Streeteasy last summer. And clearly you're a short half-step away from revealing your jealousy that some people living in low-income housing projects and you don't.
Glide from rooftop. Bang bang. Gather up all your meds and start swallowing. Bedsheet tied to rafter. Razor lengthwise. Take the gas. Stop a train.
It's painless. It brings on many changes. You can take it if you please. Please.
