there are way better stories to tell these days than to have a live reporter there like we dont know the outcome. PLEAASEEEE the outcome will be the rent hike will go up. The real story is why is there 4 newscast with only 2 new stories if that added. with all that's goin on there should be constant news reporting where every show should be different reports and not just one report or two new ones. i only watch the 5 o'clock news. what's that old statement. ITS LIVE AT FIVE ..DEAD AT SIX.. AND BURIED AT ELEVEN.. and then reborn at 5am. |

There maybe doesn't need to be a remote. But the story is not "hey look - rents are going up again, big surprise." It's all about HOW MUCH they are going to increase. Landlords argued for more than 10% this year, largely citing fuel costs.
The majority of NYC apartments under $2000/month in normal renting buildings are rent-stabilized. I, for one, eaglerly opened the paper this AM to find out the board's #. I should have remembered that in a mayoral election year, the rent hike is almost always quite moderate.
