You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. Most housing under regulation isn’t under rent control it’s under rent stabilization; landlords haven’t been going without rent increases that is more than incomes increase at all.

Do you think anyone was doing anything at all before without these regulations? At least they can’t jack up the price so easily on current tenants and have something in place. It’s a jumping off point that should be observed and improved upon. Will it be, eh? However saying this will fuck up things now so... Let’s not…

So you know nothing about New York and you’re just spit balling here?

Why do all of the best dystopian apocalyptic movies involve animal activists?

I hear he knows his way around an organ.

I hear when they finally caught him, he plead ‘Not Me’ in court.

Media kept it quiet but it is true. You know those comics where he would show one of the kids running all over the neighborhood getting into mischief with the dotted arrows? Turns out if you put those over the map of the city he lived in it would lead right a body.

It doesn’t help that the authorities actively encourage this line of thinking. A few years ago, I went to one of the National Night Out/meet your neighbors nights in a suburb where there were talks (that have finally, blessedly, started to result in some actual construction) of expanding the light rail that primarily…

The dead guy should be put to death? It’s like you’re not even trying anymore.
