Jimmy McMillan, the candidate running for governor under the Rent Is Too Damn High Party banner, who stole the show in Monday’s debate, hasn’t had a rent increase in at least five years in his one-bedroom Brooklyn apartment.
The rent at his Flatbush abode has been frozen at a very reasonable $800 since 2005. That’s a better deal than rent control.
In fairness, this is no different than certain Democratic presidents who want everyone else’s children in public school yet send their own children to some high-priced private institution.
