Watching how rents are about to go up big time in New York, some as much as $300 a month.. But don’t worry voting or not voting in the last mayoral election (22%) played no role in this..Bloomberg got elected to a 3rd term and then appointed folks to the Rent Guidelines Board who then in turn hiked rents..

Say what you will, this was a tactical assault on an already stressed population who have been economically disarmed. Shame on those who insisted the masses ignore the last Mayoral election and not weigh in, even if it meant writing in their own name..

Shame on those who ignored the low voter turnout, but somehow found a silver lining’ in comparative statistics resulting in folks running around literally bragging how voter turnout among young people who are the most vulnearable did slightly better or just as well as the last non -Presidential election..

For those who said don’t vote..Will there be a massive rent strike in NY? Are the people organized to make this happen?
