Surely, I can't combat the "well, we live in a democracy, so majority rules," but these forums are meant to garner discussion, opinions, and therefore share ideas and possibly shift that opinion that feels it unnecessary to generate rationale for imposing additional law.If 99/100 people say that the speed limit of a particular road should be 23 mph, because there's no argument against it, then SURELY we should set the speed limit at 23 mph...Yes, there are best practices: slower speeds = increased reaction times, lower damage to vehicles/persons on impact, etc., but it doesn't capture the entire picture.

To combat this next round of laws, the NY chapters of the National Apartment Association have banded together to form a lobbying group called UnderOneRoofNY.org with the intent of 1) educating our lawmakers on the unintended consequences these laws have had and will have and 2) making a HUGE showing of support against these laws by showing up in person on lobby day by the hundreds.

Maybe they are also great pillars of the community and have some profession that adds a lot of value to society.Just wanted to hear some other landlords positive perspective on tenants instead of the my usual combating the negatives and venting.
