I have a friend who lives in Stuy Town in Manhattan. All her adjacent neighbors are 80+ year old widows in 2-3 bedroom apartments. The word “all” Is not an exaggeration.

One of these neighbors gives her cat an entire bedroom. In Manhattan.

I don’t think the policy in nyc has been a smashing success
