In New York, a guy is running for mayor on the platform "Rent Is Too Damn High".

Same problem as here though. Most of the people who would support him aren't registered to vote.

While it costs more to live there (for the moment) at least in New York they aren't piling up rubble and broken toilets in Central Park.

Sigh.. yes, it's everywhere.

'Let them eat cake' was uttered a couple of hundred years ago,....it wasn't the best thing to say at the time apparently.

Or in 2013, 'let them live in subdivided cage homes for exhorbitant rents, and have the younger generation follow suit'

Somehow it reminded me of the French Revolution LOL

I thought it amusing, that now Estate Agents in HK are holding rallies, as they are getting an unfair deal due to the new stamp duty.

Homes are unaffordable to rent for the majority of Hong Kong people.

Still around 19 flats at one of the local Estate Agents. 'Some' prices have become a bit more reasonable, but they have all been sat idle for at least four months with inflated rental prices.

Sigh... yes, rambling. It's the dreary wet weather that does it
