Mayor Bloomberg Sides With Landlords

If you rent an apartment in New York City then you are at the mercy of the rent guidelines board. They determine the amount that rents can go up every year for a 1 or a 2 year lease.
The way rents are rising in New York City people will have to either leave the city or everyone will be living in smaller and smaller apartments with more and more people. At the present pace one day you may see more than 1 family of 4 living in a 1 bedroom apartment. It is that bad.
When Mayor Bloomberg is asked what he can do about the rent guidelines board he always says he has no control over them but that is a falsehood.
All 9 members of the rent guidelines board were appointed by Mayor Bloomberg meaning he made the decision to favor the landlords. However, he will not take responsibity for the choices he made.
Either Mayor Bloomberg is a poor judge of character 9 times or he has created a rent guidelines board totally in favor of the landlords.
If you rent and want to have a place to live in New York City a few years from now you must make sure to vote against Mayor Bloomberg the man who always sides with the landlords.
