I hope landlord Henry Kotowitz can counter sue Steve Ludlum in court and
nail his ass to the floor with a huge win. Then I hope Steve has to sell
all those orchids to pay off the lawsuit. Idiots like Steve Ludlum make a
mockery of our court system in this country and deserve to be punished to
the maximum for this frivolous and baseless lawsuit.

If Ludlum is so eco-conscious then let him buy a building with his own
money, pay the property taxes on it, and put up with all the government
regulations that go with owning property in New York City. His
mini-ecosystem is manmade and therefore men can pick it up and move it to a
new home/apartment. Only an idiot renter would improve on rental property
thinking that expenditure gives him some kind of new found first priority
property rights... it does not entitle him to squat.
