What about the families who want to live in NYC but can't because they need to pay market rate to subsidize lower rent for people like you?
Why do you think you deserve preferential treatment?

Oh is that how it works? FYI I’ve been here over 20 years and I don’t feel guilty at all for being in a stabilized apartment. Again I work for a living, always have, literally no one is subsidizing my life. But yes let’s just kick out a slew of working families because you think that’s fair for some reason. Or maybe we should tax the rich more and not shit all over middle and working class families.

It’s also funny how you assume the rising cost of housing is somehow the fault of people who have stabilized apartments. Would love to see data on that.
