This is off topic, but it shows the difference in attitudes of various parts   
   of the country.   
      
   In NYC, a large apartment complex is up for sale.  Historically, the complex   
   had modestly priced apartments thanks to certain tax concessions from the   
   city.  Now the owners are trying to make the complex market-rate, with many   
   residents objecting.   
      
   I can't help but suspect that in cities in the southwest large apartments   
   don't have this kind of mishigosh.

   (In my personal opinion, government attempts to regulate the price of housing   
   in a scarce market are counter-productive, and while they may have some   
   short-term gains, in the long term they make things much worse.  Today, an   
   often lot of housing in    
   Manhattan is either for the poor (heavilly subsidized) or the rich (not   
   subsidized).
