PS Note to Andrew Cuomo re:

Cuomo said he would create a homelessness-prevention program, boosting services aimed at the causes of homelessness, such as domestic violence, lack of education, mental illness and substance abuse.

Andrew, One of the major causes of homelessness in NYC is the rent stabilization system your father signed into law years ago (yes, I know it existed in some form before that). But, it's only gotten worse for the average person. Sure, Mia Farrow has her mega apartment for pratically no dollars, but, it's a system that doesn't work for others. I think it makes people mentally ill, and it may even contribute to the reason some people abuse substances. Also, I would not be surprised to learn it adversely impacts people of all educational backgrounds, and causes a rise in domestic violence across economic backgrounds. It is the worst thing NYC ever did to law-abiding people who are law-abiding tenants and law-abiding landlords. And, if you or any political leader in NY really had a spine, this sytem would be the first to go. Forver. Just my 2 cents.
