Exclusive | Panicked residents of rare affordable building on Billionaires' Row protest over 'disastrous' 450% rent increase: 'Save our homes!'

Just down the block sits Carnegie House. It's the longtime home of many rally attendees - and one of Dell's recent real estate investments. Residents of the co-op, known as the only remaining affordable building on Billionaires' Row, are facing the looming threat of displacement from a 450% rent hike. The issue is the co-op's ground lease. Though residents own their apartments inside, they don't own the land the building stands on - the ground lease owners do.
