The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

“We know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

They said, not even knowing where I'm from. There are people who would be dead without Soviet Authoritarianism.

And somehow that's not what I'm advocating.

Well, would I be very far wrong to say that you are from Canada? Perhaps people are less ignorant than you think.

A LOT MORE people would be alive and well without Soviet Authoritarianism or any other flavour of socialism/communism.

Still not what I'm advocating.
