SPLIT: Developer Sharif El-Gamal (inset) owns the right half of this complex, all of which he plans to raze for a mosque and community center, but leases the left from Con Ed, which hiked the rent.

I’m sorry, under what principle of law is a landlord allowed to raise someone’s rent retroactively?

Priceless. I would suppose that ConEd is one of the EEEViLLL corporations that the Fleabaggers are protesting in NY and elsewhere. I’ll give you 2 to 1 odds that they will come out in support of the mosque.

Maybe they could have a yard sale and raise needed money?
Im sure the community minded folks would pitch right in and help a neighbor in need...?

The Saudis will pay. $1.7 mil is like taking a couple pennies from their pocket.

In an electrifying moment, events have unfolded which clearly demonstrate how grounded American Business can be, when paying fealty to profit.
Shocking.
