The Tenants Who Evicted Their Landlord

The New York Times Magazine published a powerful story about a tenant-led co-op group that managed to band together and win the right in court to purchase their own building. This story has just about every theme you would want in a Hollywood film. It’s the little guys versus the big guys. An impossible challenge. And a victory that could have wide reaching implications for the real estate industry, urban living and perhaps capitalism itself.

I imagine a lot of people are unhappy this story is even getting publicized. That alone seems like a good reason to read the whole thing.
