Change is complicated. The Rent Stabilization law in New York City prevents change. When tenants have life-time rights to rental apartments, it is difficult to effectuate change. However, when the law expired in June, 2003 it was difficult to have this aspect of the law addressed.

The fear of change and the misunderstanding of how the law affects New York City and its residents was pervasive. The New York State Legislature renewed the law for eight years. Please review my new web page - Committee For a New America (CFANA.com) which proposes my ideas about how to allow our American cities (including New York City) to become middle class again.

What a Shame New York City Can No Participate in the "New Urbanism" in America

A recent article in Gulfshore Life tells of transition in Ft. Myers, Florida: "People are coming back to the city. After decades of movement into the suburbs, Americans are rediscovering the pleasures of mixed residential, retail and cultural offerings in an urban center".

With a law that ostensibly prevents change, Rent Stabiliation, the ability to attract the middle class that would desire to be in New York City is greatly limited. Why would it be immoral to allow all the neighborhoods that were once middle class, through natural market forces, to return to what they originally were. We now prevent that change - Brilliant!
