As a pro-Palestine person, this is one of the most tone deaf comments I've ever read.

Will you please write an article about all of the oppressed people you forgot to mention? Because you forgot about a lot of them. And if you didn't write an article about them, you shouldn't say anything, ever. Please write that article or delete your account. Thank you.

Lol, big words are scary. What the person suggested was nonsensical. There's a lot of syllables in that last word but thankfully you have Google.

The question is fair. Yes, I suspected them of positing a question with shitty intentions. Learn to deal with that or get off the internet. Anything I've said isn't as garbage as falsely pretending anyone has ever said diversity would solve climate change, or that humans would move to more homogenized communities after climate change. You're a baby and the last person to tell others anything about being better.

I mean, I phrased the question fairly. What they posited made no sense at all. So I was wondering if this was a real question I was responding to or someone just someone pushing some backwards agenda. I'm not taking back the word troglodyte since I have no reason to think otherwise at this point. Thanks for showing up though. I'll apologize if I'm proven wrong but I bet you I don't even get a response.

"At the expiration of a lease or at the termination of a lease of a periodic tenant, no landlord of any dwelling as defined in § 260-1 may request or receive a percentage increase in rent which is greater than four percent or the percentage difference between the consumer price index three months prior to the expiration or termination of the lease and three months prior to the commencement of the lease term, whichever is less. For a periodic tenant or for a tenant whose lease term shall be less than one year, said tenant shall not suffer or be caused to pay more than one rent increase in any 12-month period, commencing 15 months prior to and ending three months prior to, the effective date of the proposed increase, whichever is less. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, no landlord may request or receive any rental increase at the expiration of a lease or the expiration of any periodic tenancy until the end of the state of emergency or six months from adoption of these amendments, whichever comes first. This paragraph shall be effective March 15, 2021."

Rent control ordinance. Essentially, a landlord can't raise your rent to an amount that outpaces inflation. The only way around it is putting the apartment back on the market, and they would need to give you 3 months notice before your lease is up to do that.
