Here’s hoping that the Supreme Court understands the concept that ownership of something is 99$ of the law and strikes down all NYC rent regulations as capricious, outdated, unnecessary and unconstitutional. Then we can move on to making Community Boards and protests over 40 year old murals just as illegal. Owners OWN buildings and should be able to do with them what they need to to make mone. PERIOD.
