"Deception in the City of Dreams: Landlords Pose as Zombies to Rally Against Tenant Protections. In a bizarre and disturbing stunt, a group of New York City landlords disguised themselves as zombies to draw attention to their cause: opposing new tenant protections. The casting call for 'zombies' was actually a ruse to recruit participants for a rally against proposed legislation that would make it harder for landlords to evict tenants. The landlords, who claim they are being unfairly targeted by the city's regulations, used the zombie costumes to draw a crowd and garner sympathy for their cause. But the stunt has sparked outrage among tenants and advocates, who see it as a desperate attempt to manipulate public opinion and undermine the rights of renters."
