Then what's your concern for the plebeians? To be quite frank, I frown upon your contributions here. I question your threads quite often.
None of that befronts me, not in the least. Ever since your "vacation" several months back and subsequent return you "question" lots of things. Nothing to see here folks, move along...

I didn't know you had to have a reason to post. We really have a terrible moderator here. Instigating arguments and harassing quality contributors to the forum. If only there was a way to report bad moderators.

Well people usually have a reason to post or else they wouldn't waste their time. Even the trolls have a reason to post...
The topic is on rent control. There's nothing wrong with someone asking how rent control affects the person who posted the thread.
Please. Stop trying to make excuses for a belligerent moderator. He wasn't just asking (although it hardly matters if the OP had anything to do with the topic) he was just plainly telling him he didn't like him posting and making ridiculous accusations about him getting paid. In other words going off topic and starting fights, the very two things everyone here would get into trouble for. You and I couldn't do this and not get suspended or banned.

Rent regulation laws effect everyone in this city with perhaps exception of single family homeowners, this whether some of you know it or not.
Co-ops and condos are taxed as rental housing, so if your building is in an area full of low rent paying RS/RC units, you pay less in property taxes.
If you are paying market rate for rental housing most likely you rent is higher than it otherwise would be due to large majority of NYC rental housing falls under some sort of government control or subsidy.
If you work, and especially those who earn pay a vast amount of taxes that go into the support and creation of rent regulated units. This includes tax breaks/subsidies for creation right down to free attorneys in housing court, and all that is in between.
On a more philosophical note, play with the thought for moment if rent regulation were not renewed. It will never happen, but just imagine the consequences.
Want more? Just what do you think will happen if democrats get their way and spread rent regulation down to buildings with less than six units? Or, force even market rate landlords to offer renewal leases and or prevent them from handling their business as they see fit.
Some of you either weren't around or maybe have forgotten what set off the co-op conversion boom in the 1980s through good part of 1990's.
If most or all of the democrat platform on rent regulation succeeds it likely will mean the end for small landlords. They will sell to large investors or the already big NYC real estate royal families.

Thank you. TBH I can't imagine NYC without a good amount of rent control/subsidy. I heard in San Francisco a lot of the poor/working class have 2+ hour commutes due to not being able to afford rent. I don't know what to say. A lot of people complain about how expensive the rent is in NYC. We've gotten a lot of people from NY here in the Atlanta suburbs. It's one of the things I worry about when I consider moving back to NYC. I imagine myself living upstate and commuting to the city if anything. Rent control or not, I can't stand the idea of living in a shoe box and paying out of my a** for something I don't own. But then again, I suppose depending on the place, the benefits can outweigh the cons. Just thinking out loud.
