What "technicality"? Does he own the house? Have they been renting it for 52 years? If so, from whom?

- timo614 13y agoFrom his twitter it looks like it's a coop. https://twitter.com/davidgraeber https://twitter.com/davidgraeber It says he wasn't on the original occupancy as he wasn't born when the paperwork was originally handled but was one when the building was finished and moved in. He claims when he tried to get on it in the past via his mother the coop stalled until she was dead.
- eli 13y agoSeems like a fairly typical coop board problem and not a police intelligence conspiracy. But then I guess that's what they'd WANT me to think, eh?
- coldtea 13y agoProbably. Taking advantage of typical bureaucratic issue against people they don't like is what oppressive regimes are very good at. Of course it also happens to other people to, naturally, but if those kind of things start happening en masse...
- alistairSH 13y agoYeah, I don't get it. Is this some sort of rent-control problem? Where his parents lived in a rent-controlled apartment and passed it down to him improperly? (I have no idea how rent-control buildings in NYC work, this is the only that makes any sense without details)
- unreal37 13y agoPerhaps he grows marijuana out of his house, and the police tipped off his landlord. That could break the lease without missing a payment.
