Bianca Jagger Evicted
A small triumph over socialism:
Useless zillionaire moonbat Bianca Jagger has been evicted from her rent-stabilized Park Avenue playpen. Screamed her lawyer:
This is an absolute travesty!
The actual travesty is rent control, which throws a monkey wrench into the NYC housing market by forcing landlords to lease apartments below market value.
Unfortunately Jagger was evicted not because rent control is a crime against economic freedom, or even because she's too rich to justify forcing her landlord to subsidize her housing. The former wife of antediluvian adolescent Mick Jagger got the well-earned boot to the britches because she's been living there on a tourist visa for 20 years.
On a tip from BMc.

Rent control isn't just a crime against economic freedom, it's a crime against the poor as well. Rent control forces up private sector prices and kills the market for affordable properties.
An excellent article here from the ever-reliable Cato Institute.
