Communist Party USA decides to lease their Manhattan HQ for cold, hard capitalist cash instead of providing, oh say, "affordable housing."Link
"This is Manhattan. It's the biggest rental market in North America," said Libero Della Piana, state chair of the state Communist Party. "We live in a capitalist society, and in order for us to play our role, we have to make money."
Two months ago, the local hammer-and-sickle crowd opened the doors of its swanky, eight-story headquarters to yet another new tenant, Dumann Realty.
"We believe the market is great. We believe Chelsea is coming up," said Richard Du, president of Dumann, which leases commercial and retail space in Manhattan.
