You said it. I have the New Yorker magazine from a couple of months ago that talks about rent control envy. Of yuppie tenants (non rent controlled) in buildings with a few elderly rent controlled occupants and how *nasty* they treat these rent controlled occupants. I'll have to dig it up and maybe (if I can type that much) post it. Any idea if we're forbidden from posting New Yorker articles? I have a whole bunch of goodies! :)

That was not a bad article. It brought the envy issue forward into the public consciousness. But the author interviewed people on only one side of the issue. It was a colorful story but very subjective. I would have liked to see some families interviewed too, maybe someone in an old-law tenement on the East Side with four kids in PS 157. Get their take on the free market.
