Chill out ma n. I wasn't saying I agreed with the article, but it did contain some interesting stats. It showed that rent control tenants pay much less than everyone else. Isn't that the idea???

The "everyone else" is the rich guy. They SHOULD pay more. And ric h people make excellent neighbors. Who's going to deny that the Upper West Side is not a better place to live than 30 years ago. Even the Lower East Side is being gentrified now. Who would possibly oppose this???
