Hmm, what pattern can you spot in the list of the 20 worst landlords? I just can't say for sure... it's too difficult...declare the App to be Alt Right so we can obscure facts again... oh dears...

It looks like it's mostly men. I'm not sure on a couple of the names but I guess men are most likely to be slumlords.

Yes, that's it! We'll frame this as an issue of needing more women landlords in NYC. Brilliant.

Is there an ethnic commonality here?

Of course there are two sides to every story and the other side of this one is that with rent stabilization at least many "slumlords" claim that they can't afford to maintain their properties because the rent aren't high enough.

Don't know personally as I'm not a lord - slum or otherwise - but given the high cost of everything in New York I don't have a hard time buying that argument.

All this proves is NYC landlords and developers are a scummy bunch in a scummy business. I wonder which one you will support for President after Trump?

Maybe Larry Silverstein, who tried to profit off of the 9/11 attacks due to his owning of the WTC complex. Very fine people.

I doubt he could be more of a jerk than Trump who claimed he saw "Muslims cheering from rooftops" after the Towers went down.

In addition Trump accepted $150,000 from a fund designed to help small businesses recover after 9/11.

Now that you mention it. There does seem to be a disproportionate amount of names that are traditionally, well, nevermind........... :bolt

Anti-Trumpers are disappointed Trump's name isn't on that list. It'd be one more thing they can fling around on the weekend news shows and give the House Dems another excuse to waste taxpayer money on a "special committee investigation".

But i'm sure if they play "100 Degrees of Separation", they might get something.

I asked a question...."They are all men?" Why don't you just go ahead and say what your intention is here?

Well the reason I asked you is that some of these first names are unknown to me, and I couldn't tell which gender they were more commonly associated with. Such as
- Rawle
- Meir
- Deodat
- Getz
- Uzy

And yet other names were not unknown to you, to the extent that you decided to start a thread about them. Do tell, what is the hidden pattern?
