I don’t have much sympathy for the landlords there as they had YEARS to cash out, even after Rudy and Bloomberg. But they either ignored what was coming, or didn’t even bother to try to understand what was coming...but it was CLEAR AS DAY to any conservative.
There are SIX Republicans out of 50 on the City Council; most of the incumbent Dems are reelected very easily. This is really gilding the lily as the Dem incumbents are really in no danger of losing the election.
