Share any fun fact! I was once evicted from an illegal sublet in NYC after the owner of the building read an article published on the front page of the NY Times for which I’d been interviewed about my “apartment karma” and recognized his building in the background of the picture of me that accompanied the article. That interview/article marked the end of my apartment karma or maybe karma coming home to roost.
