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.

Yeah, the people the author interviewed were amazing. I mean really, what kind of income do you have to have, pre-tax (in NYC this is a biggie) to be able to afford $8500/MONTH RENT!? How insane is that??? Can you believe Mia Farrow was bi$ching about having to move? Poor little rich girl! Wonder how long she'd last on MY salary! HA! It would have been great if they'd interviewed families that were rent controlled, or a few elderly people on fixed incomes who were rent controlled to balance the issue. BUT, the market for that magazine IMHO is feel good do good leftists who support all public schemes except those that affect *their* bottom line.
