Only way to save New York is to get rid of rent control. Too many losers taking advantage of the system and it forces rents up for the people who actually contribute to society, ultimately resulting in the middle class getting squeezed out.

Get your weight up, not your hate up.“When we got here, I didn’t feel so out of place, I didn’t have this awareness of being middle class,” she said. But in the last 5 or 10 years an array of high-rises brought “uberwealthy” neighbors, she said, the kind of people who discuss winter trips to St. Barts at the dog run, and buy $700 Moncler ski jackets for their children.
Self-entitled whiners. Nobody is forcing you to live in Manhattan.“My niece just bought a home in Atlanta for $85,000,” she said. “I almost spend that on rent and utilities in a year. To them, making $250,000 a year is wealthy. To us, it’s maybe the upper edge of middle class. It's horrifying.
In other words, a lot of people feel special that they live in New York but really they just exist in New York. The city is NOTHING special anymore. Don't let New Yorkers tell you any different.Now Ms. Dent is a Web designer in Cork, Ireland, living a regular middle-class life, and unable to imagine why anyone would want to stick it out in Manhattan on a moderate income.
