Why don’t you do the same as suggested by anon 1:14 Bx2BKlyn. When people can’t afford to live in area they move.

When was that, anon 4:07? 1955? Aren’t you just so special!! Where do you think poor people ought to live? In a cardboard box? Because that’s the only alternative people like you give them, besides crappy, roach infested hellholes that well to do landlords invest in but don’t take good care of. DId you get a roommate? I thought so.

I opened the Post article on Liars in Rent Control expecting to read about some well off person bilking the system for all it’s worth, and living at the Dakota for $600 a month. Instead they are complaining about some poor woman who only makes between $14K and $28K, who may be paying $214 a month for an apt? What are we turning into in this country, Les Miserables? Damned for stealing a loaf of bread? Many of the people on this blog spend $14K in restaurants in a year, and most Post reporters certainly bring home much better than that. While I don’t condone cheating as a way of life, I would rather my taxes paid for this woman to live in her apartment, than pay for the countless dollars wasted by the big time cheaters who have been siphoning money from the city for decades, and that includes many developers, slumlords, and real subsidized rent cheaters, and the worst offenders – landlords who get rich renting to city programs for the homeless, disposessed, and mentally ill. How about some real ink on those people, NY Post, not some poor woman just trying to keep a decent roof over her head.

Gee- what a great living- 14,000 to 28,000 a year. And they’re complaining she pays a low rent? Obviously none of the city shills have to live on that. Can you imagine how much is left if she has to pay 3 x’s 214$ as they say she should?

In the Skyline for sale article Miss Brooklyn looks exactly like my blender.
