There is nothing "unfair" about an area becoming wealthier and poorer people no longer being able to afford it. Artificially "stabilizing" rents at low levels in order to prevent the city from developing is unfair to the city and to the people who want a better life, and not live in a slum. Progress can't be stopped to cater to those too weak to keep up.
I can't understand why new yorkers dont go to jersey city or newark , or paterson .... New york is overcrowded... I am sorry the city/landlord did that to you.. The same thing is happening in washington dc. poor people forced out into other counties. it's a housing war on the poor and middle class ... really who can buy a 1 br apt for 300,000, not the average person... or a 2br for 400,000 + condo fees as high as 900 a month...
It is very unfair, being forced out of New York. Rent control laws need to be strenghtened not weakened. Mike Bloomberg is a con man. He talked about affordable housing, which is why I voted for him a second term. He is a con man. All that has went up is Luxury Condos, Luxury Apartment buildings for the rich. Housing urban development giving grants with the purpose of weakening rent control. Vacancy Decontrol, Luxury Decontrol needs to be abolished. For sure personal use evictions.
