The way you throw that link out there in conjunction with "helps a select few," would let an uninformed reader think that rent-stabilization is an even split between people "milking the system" and "worthy recipients". I find that hard to believe. New rent-stabilized units have strict income limits during the application process [1] , and individual existing units have income limits. When that income level reached by the occupants, that unit falls out of the rent-stabilized category. Furthermore, looking at that link suggests that the "luxury exclusions" are working as intended: all of the requests for deregulation due to income were approved and the rents returned to market rate.

By no means is the current system perfect, but the sentiment here seems to be "kill it with fire."
