When will you return from your Sabbatical and get writing again? You have good ideas and great writing – it is missed. Thanks.

Still looking forward to the day you are able to express your opinions publicly.

I’m not saying it should be left in place, but it would seem they would leave the how cost rents in place and simply raise the other rents. This will make Manhattan, in particular, even more expensive, no? Or just “in the long run” bring rents down?

This could change presumably. It took a very long time to carve out parts of Brooklyn to be a place that many strivers (who are partly the people driving demand in Manhattan) would consider. I’m thinking of yuppie types and others.

I don’t recall how I found this site, but it’s been a part of my day for some time. I wish you well and hope you will find an appropriate place to keep your voice heard – it is important.

- best, Jim

I’ve found that political discussion is less about advocating what you want in order to get it, but rather to provide adequate counter-weight against the things you don’t want.

It’s not so much winning as it is weighing in. Not many people aligned against you will admit to changing their minds but a good argument dampens their resolve and is propagated by likeminded individuals into thousands of similar discussions.

So it was for me and your comments on recision. Your comments have been truly insightful and necessary ammunition in countless discussions.

We need every voice we can get, and yours rings through with particular clarity.

While the current state of affairs gives cause for great concern, the good analysis found on blogs like yours is cause for optimism.
