You probably mistook that as a look of disgust about you trying to sell her out of her home, raise up her carrying charge, and force her to leave her community.

For all the rah-rah you've made on this thread, you still have no shown one thread of evidence that people's carrying charges would not go up and thus hundreds of people forced out of their community to make way for the rich

My state: I have a terrific and secure housing deal, one of the best in the City. And the price I must pay is never having my own bedroom, a guest room, an office and a garden. I have to live with that.

If you don't like it then sell your apartment and move somewhere nicer.

"The price you pay"

Wow so spoiled. You benefit from subsidized social housing and are complaining the apartment is too small and you are making some sort of sacrifice.

Meanwhile millions of New Yorkers would kill to live where you live.

What is it you've been doing in your own interest since you're so keen to point out the faults of your neighbors?

How presumptious of you to assume I haven't been saving money.
I have enough in the bank to buy an average home,all cash and a credit score well over 800. But an interesting thing about savings is they can be spent only once. I would not feel secure without a few hundred G's in the bank.

So then you CHOOSE the financial security over the guest room and garden and office. Oh, the luxury of first world problems.

Yep, and privatization would have given me both but now I must choose one or the other. I choose security.

Reading this thread over I am gobsmacked at OP's greed. Has multiple hundreds of thousands in the bank and wanted a buyout. I am glad privatization went down in flames.

I accept what I got. I might have liked an otherwise possibility but I accept reality.


We only live once and we'd like the BEST reality.
