I just think we should try to be kind to our poor and elderly.
Plus, like I said, the renter would be helped through lowering his taxes given it is rent-controlled/stabilized.
I guess you are saying "when the area is becoming better, and you are not, then you must be kicked out." I guess that there is nothing specifically wrong with such economic segregation. But I think we should care about our elderly being comfortable and our poor feeling at least somewhat cared for.
I have never said we shouldn't be kind to the poor and elderly so stop with the virtue signaling. The landlords of this particular building were just that to the elderly man who lived there for years and died. The woman then took advantage of the situation.
So some lady manipulated the legal system to live in someone else's property for life essentially for free, but it's the PROPERTY OWNERS who are the greedy ones.
This is what America is up against -- people like this poster, the lady he supports, and a legal system that sides with them against all common sense never mind sensible public policy.
Keep on licking the boots of the wealthy maybe one day you can join them
It is indeed horrible that rich people like Trump keep abusing any loophole that they can find (and they sure find plenty given that they already have the resources to find the loopholes).
Yeah , older people have had decades to build up their careers , save and invest .
There are a ton of people living in NYC I’m sure that could afford market rents but wouldn’t pay them if they had to and would actually move to another city .
Same thing in LA and San Francisco.
I just don’t think having such a huge number of people subsidized is a great thing .
Do they teach investing in public school?
Do they teach saving money?
Do they teach how to build up a career?
Seems like things that only rich people would find easy to develop and practice.

Google , YouTube and books and resources available free in every public library teach it .
In a post about loopholes and cheating the system?
Who else would come to mind? He is the POTUS and extremely vain and egotistical, his horrible image inserts itself in everything.
Trump said that "of course I cheated the system! It's smart!"
So he brought himself up in this horrible and dirty topic, really. Sad.
He said he abused bankruptcy rules to steal money from taxpayers.
Has he changed bankruptcy rules yet, BTW? He said he would do so in his first day of office since he "knew how to cheat the system" and pull one over the tax payer's Representatives from personal experience.
Keep being naive enough to think the non-wealthy benefit from rent control, maybe one day you'll be priced out of your local rental market
Keep giving government the power to appropriate other people's property, maybe one day they can appropriate yours.
Are you fixing loopholes? Or just removing any means of any sort of control (which naturally moves the control to the rich, rather than all The People).
