WATCH: Socialist New York City mayor announces plans to take properties from owners, give them to tenants!
Promises ‘aggressive legal action’ against owners he dislikes
New York’s Democrat Socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, worked as a housing counselor, and a rapper, so he knows the topics on which he’s commenting.
When he announced plans to take properties from their owners and give them to tenants.
But it all will be legal, of course. In fact, “aggressive” legal.
He’s just announced a plan to address housing in New York City.
He said, “Through our new citywide campaign, fix the city, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City. When necessary we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Steward that include community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.”
Not the Bee reported, “If this actually happens, New Yorkers will be glad the Second Amendment exists.”
The chief of Partnership for New York City, Steve Fulop, praised the concept of building tens of thousands of affordable homes.
But Mamdani’s plan for “imposing potentially crushing minimum wage mandates and restricting property sales” will hurt, not help, he said.
One progressive group supporting Mamdani said its members were thrilled.
It’s “what a progressive all-of-the-above housing plan looks like,” they said.
“This is the same brilliant economic thinking that has made San Francisco and other leftist utopias such affordable paradises. Control prices, mandate heavily — demonize the people who actually know how to build stuff — and somehow the units will just magically appear while landlords and developers line up to lose money for the greater good,” Not the Bee noted.
He talked about the “real investment” and the benefits for the city.
