Rudy Giuliani almost got the last laugh in the battle against the squatters at the Lower East Side's ABC No Rio, who fought off eviction in the mid-'90s and won ownership of their building at 156 Rivington Street, only to be hit with $2.4 million in necessary repairs. Facing a do-or-die situation, ABC No Rio's anarchists have raised the money?from politicians! The four-story tenement will be demolished next spring and replaced with a new building. Punk's not dead!
