What's hilarious is that, according to the article, he had been screaming and cursing at other residents in the lobby for weeks, before he set his first fire last July.
If he screamed stuff like: BLM, "You oppress me", "Go away, white devils", that would have been brilliant.
I'm on Team Christian on this one.
Its one of the worst situations to be in, having a building terrorizing tenant. Thats daily stress, fearing for your safety and that of your family. Home is supposed to be the one place you escape the often hostile world. The kicker is this guy pays nothing, and set TWO fires.
This city has truly handed the asylum gate keys to the lunatics.
"The builders would stop taking the subsidies if market-rate people stopped accepting the arrangement."
Obviously, the market doesn't care. My building filled up practically instantly, with market rents I thought were downright stupid and would never have paid even when I was earning enough to. Too bad, Republicans. You worship the market, and it's told you to shut up.
(Also, I am a better neighbor than the market-rate tenants who: (a) smoke MJ so the whole floor has to smell it; (b) play their music too loud at some ridiculous hours; and (c) don't freaking understand how a trash chute works so whenever I go to put mine in I have to shove theirs down, too!!!)
Ah, clearly it's a great arrangement. Randomperson says so! Lol
Btw, this Republican got exactly what he wanted. A huge pension, a big house and yard in the suburbs that I can hunt behind, and a front row seat without the risk to the comedy that is NYC in 2021.
The market absolutely does care. Why do you think home prices in Long Island or New Jersey suburbs are going up, while they are clearly down in the Upper West Side?

No offense, but it doesn't sound like you are in a classy or desirable building at all.

Unless it is an article bashing landlords , then kefir says it’s fine
NOTHING in the Post is ever "fine." It is the very definition of "tabloid sensationalism" meant to appeal to those who can barely read, and cannot think at all.

That sounds just like the building I just moved from, which was 70% market rate. The building I am in now is only 20% market but the neighbors are so much better (so far) and are more respectful of their surroundings. And the market apartments don't stay on the market long either.

These types of buildings are beautiful massive trees that are rotting at the trunk. Funniest part is the lower subsidized units are all full while the "normal" part of the building is 75% empty. Hahaha liberals. The ghettos move in and complain their brand new free apts dont have the same amenities as their market rate counterparts. Lmfao!
I can answer that. Its called warehousing and tax breaks. Basically keeping units vacant is more profitable than renting out and converting units into condos to sell means more money. It's often intentional.
Also, $6,000/m um thats typically the price range for a condo not an APT.
