#1 Oh, Bianca. Remember the good old days? Everybody wanting Mick's lady to show up here, show up there, wanting your opinion on everything just as if it actually meant something, doing coke in the can at Studio 54 with Maggie Trudeau? Good times...good times...
Now your an illegal immigrant trying to hold onto a rent controlled moldy apartment.
Why am I smilin...

#2 back to Nicaraugua? Wear your "Daniel O!" sunglasses and Che T-shirts at will! How exciting! Roots, Central American-style!

#3 It takes 4 years of not paying rent to get evicted in NY. Unbelievable.

#4 hmm... my sis-inlaw has a rent controlled apt in Paris (Moulin Rouge). Shows up there every two years or so for a week or two. Rent was set in the early 70's so she would be a fool to ever give it up. (less than $100/yr)

So the real fault is Rent Control. Its a dumb idea.

#5 I think that about fifty years ago or so, someone said that there were two ways to destroy a modern city:

1. attack it with several hundred four-engined bombers, or

2. impose rent control.
