In New York, A Very Slow Political Awakening

[serendipity]

Yes, we don' need you Trumptard needle dicks creaming your jeans over Trump!

There is absolutely no mention of Trump in the excellent Francis Menton article I posted from Manhattan Contrarian yet that didn't stop you ranting about him anyway. Here is a snippet from that article care to comment!

This is from that article, care to comment on it?

They’re going to gratuitously impoverish New Yorkers by forcing up the cost of energy for no discernible reason, but supposedly mitigate the effects in some way by passing out billions of dollars raised via carbon auctions to favored political constituencies. Again, the chance of this actually getting fully implemented over the next ten years is minimal, but exactly how it will all fall apart is impossible to predict. It will all be an excellent opportunity for Republicans if they play their cards right.

I'm assuming the landlord wouldn't care. Frequently tripped breakers would be an added incentive to get people to move out so the building could be converted to office space, or maybe a storage unit, or something that doesn't cost the owner the sort of headaches and money the state so frivolously demands they spend...

In your scenario, you ARE the landlord.

Remember?

No, of course not, what was I thinking?

It's what I'd do. I'd try to drive current tenants out to allow me to upgrade the building then pass the costs on to my new tenants to get around rent controls. The second choice might be to repurpose the building for the same reason.
