How much of a discount does a rent-regulated household making $125,000-$174,999 a year get off of market-rate rents? $712/month.

(But in Manhattan alone, 40 percent of rent-regulated tenants pay less than half their apartments' market values.) The Observer has a thorough overview of the CBC numbers and suggestions, so read on while we find a place to hide before the firestorm. [NYO]
