Apartment rentals New York with Politics

In New York City, Even the Politicians Rent

Anthony Weiner is one of many New York politicians who rent in the city

For a city that’s known for its sheer number of renters, it’s good to know that some of New York City’s most powerful citizens are living in the city as tenants as well. From mayoral hopefuls to sitting Congressmen, there are a number of politicians in New York who are choosing to rent an apartment, instead of buying one. Some of these apartments are rent-stabilized, and others are condominium residences—our politicians seem to be very particular on where they rent in the city.

Luxury Rentals Manhattan Makes Its Long-Awaited New York Gubernatorial Endorsement

Is it predictable? It is maybe a little predictable. But we at Luxury Rentals Manhattan would be remiss if we did not endorse Jimmy McMillan, the candidate -- and quite possibly sole member -- of The Rent Is Too Damn High party for governor of New York. In the hysterically chaotic New York State gubernatorial debate on Monday night -- imagine seven people talking over each other for an hour, only instead of it happening on the uptown 4 train, it happened in front of television cameras and everyone was wearing suits -- McMillan stood out for several reasons. There's the elaborate mustachio, visible in the adjacent picture. There were the black gloves, which McMillan chose to wear indoors for reasons he later explained to Gawker had something to do with his service in Vietnam. And of course there was his karate expertise and general Afrika Bambaataa-in-a-suit aesthetic and... honestly, you should just watch the video. Link after the jump.
