How to Dump Tenants and Make a Fortune
The chaotic, abusive process through which New York City landlords turn affordable housing into luxury apartments
I don't like rent control for the reason that its unfair to others. So some mook gets to pay $600 a month rent in a prime spot of Manhattan because they have lived there for 10 years while someone new the area, with the same size apartment, has to pay $2000 a month in rent.
I thought everything today was about "equality for all" and "fairness."
And thats fine - but lets stop having different rules for different people. Shall we?
Pay the rents, or move. Like the rest of the country.

The rules are not the property of a person. They belong to a unit. The person who lives in said unit benefits from the regulation only while they are there. You do understand that it isn't like Section 8 ... right ?
It was once the case that people got "priced out" because they did not fit in and could not get a regulated unit.
This was the most important social function of rent regulation.

It sounds as if you don't understand the concept of equality.

I agree 100% of what you are saying.
