The rent is to damn high is code for "someone else should pay my rent ( and everything else)'because I am entitled to it.

IOW. He and his followers are Wastes of skin.

I expect whats-his-name will have Papa Smurf's rant songified within a week.

The rent is to damn high in New York unless you live in a rent controlled (A leftover from WWII, BTW) apartment.  Landlords have to make the rent higher on non-rent controlled apartments to make money.

Once again "their" solution to what the .gov screwed up in the first place will be more .gov.  Thus creating the vicious cycle and death spiral... [sigh].

Solution, get rid of rent control and let the market set prices.
 
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it's that the rent is too damn high.

Sounds like another "I want what you have, and if I can get enough people to join me, we'll pass laws allowing me to steal from you" Party.

In addition, relaxing Zoning Laws might help also.  How expensive and painful is it to build new housing over there?

Red Eye just did a segment on him. He's funny to watch until you learn that he's in some group that blames everything on the Joooos.
