RE: Is rent control still in effect there?
YES.

I rate them inversely desirable to the number of liberals who live there.
Link to subsidized rates:
And only one Republican mayor during all that time and he didn’t say anything about this. He worked on important stuff like cleaning up the citiy’s trash.
RE: I think the desirability of living someplace is better related to by population density.
The more dense the population, the more problems.

To paraphrase the great baseball player and eminently quotable, YOGI BERRA: “Nobody lives there anymore, it’s too dense.”
Boston really is a cool city.

For me the question is not whether I can afford to live in NYC but how much would someone have to pay me to get me to live there. If they want me to work too the price would be steep indeed. I would much prefer living in a camper trailer on a creek bank in Carolina.
As I see it, there is a “happy place” along the population density spectrum. Too dense, and the Left and their thug base make things undesirable. Too sparse, and a single family becomes possible prey if/when things go down the toilet. Then, you have to begin the research-pray-research-pray...cycle to find a place that will remain safe over time.
