Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration.

Right now UWS rentals are very expensive and part of it is due to a lot of people renewing their leases and waiting to see what the impact of no broker fees will be. The cartoon looks very much like the roof of a Brusco building.

I know, I know. When I moved into my apartment in the mid-70s the rent was $300 a month. Sounds like I’m talking about another galaxy long, long ago & far, far away.
