Real Rent Reform

If you are a native New Yorker, an Old New Yorker at that! Then this is information you need. We as natives to NYC are being pushed out on some bull shit so
that others who are buying the buildings that we live in can turn a HUGE profit. The owners of these buildings are pushing us out causing gentrification in are
neighborhood's which becomes the 1st domino of many. Now your local bodega & favorite pizza place is gone too. This all leads to a corporate America that
will not let the mom & pop store survive. The best thing about NYC, is the choices you have to pick from. In these local stores, we form relationships with the
store owners. They watch us grow up as we give them business and become like family to us. You are either apart of the solution by doing what ever you can
to help or be apart of the problem by sitting by and doing nothing. If you love your Old New York like I do then watch this video. You will walk away with
knowledge thats much needed. Did You know Sec. 8 is a contract with the state? And its about to be up. Landlords dont have to renew this contract and most
likely wont so where will this leave you. IN THE STREETS HOMELESS. Did you know that the members of the Rent Guideline Board are not even from NYC,
so why are they deciding are rent increases for us when at the end of the day, they go back to there nice lives upstate or else where and none of the decisions
they make effect them. Think about it. Someone close to me once said" Dont walk in front of me, I may not follow. Dont walk behind me, I may not lead. Just
walk beside me & be my friend." This is so true. So what I ask of you is to pay attention to the movement. Learn your rights and vote when the time comes.
Your apartment could be next. Thank you for your time.
