I got an idea. Sign a lease and don’t pay. It will be years before they can evict you.

Sort of like Roy Clark at the Empty Arms Hotel charging $1 million a night. He only had to rent a room once.

Commercial high business rents have gone into the toilet. Covid lockdowns and Zoom taught us we don’t need to pay 120K a month for 30k sq. Feet of office space in the inner city. That’s over. Major urban rethinking coming.

This story has a lot of words but doesn’t have much more htan superficial information. Why is the market “tight? Because rents are “up” and inventory is at “historic lows.” Why? No explanation. Not one word about New York’s byzantine building and rent control laws. No explanation of why more building hasn’t started.

How many sq. ft. is a coop for $3,870? Is that kinda like the size of a chicken coop?

Treat landlords as class enemies means fewer landlords and higher rents.

We all know Nick Carraway prefers Great Neck. West Egg ain’t East Egg but it will do.
