I agree entirely Peter, it's a bad system. It was instituted after WWII to help returning soldiers secure affordable housing. It's been pointless for decades and a burden to building owners, but no politician has ever been willing to touch it. Kicking old people out of apartments they lived in for most of their lives is political suicide.
