Elections NYC mayoral race

What he stands for? lol... He's a fucking idiot and somehow voters believe him. Either that, he's a raging liar who knows he can't or won't follow through on his grand promises.











However, I'm not surprised. Democrat voters should be used to the DNC and Democrat politicians lying to them for decades with empty promises. Mandami is a by product of that system.

And we'll see if he continues the same path with not following through with these same "Free" policies... lol. And the consequences of those policies when reality hits people in the faces.

Here comes scerpi with his usual bullshit spam. Take cover.

Tweet 1:
What's more violent, somebody stealing a package or ICE agents dragging children away from their families or ripping random citizens off the streets?

You'd have to be a complete dumbass, which you are, to not understand that.

Tweet 2:
Quote is too short to draw anything meaningful. Making buses free would most likely reduce violence against bus drivers. Probably marginal at best, but it probably would.

Tweet 3:
America's prison system is garbage lol. What sane person would argue otherwise?

Tweet 4:
Nobody really gives a fuck. 🤷‍♂️

The irony in your drivel is that the reason Mamdani got elected is because of Trump's policies lol. Tried to tell you before the election, people are gonna hate mass deportations and hate on Trump when it was obvious that he wasn't fixing the economy.

I'm sure everyone loves Trump pardoning his crypto bro and giving people like Maxwell preferential treatment.

Utterly hilarious to watch you clowns claim Trump is draining the swamp only to support Andrew Cuomo over a guy who wants tax dollars to go towards public transportation 😂

Carry on, continue coping and losing your shit. Day by day. Pretty soon, all you're responses will be AI. Who am I kidding, they already are. The only thing you do is post your algorithm on blast for everyone to see how stupid you are.

Great, but nobody cares if poor people move out. In fact it's way better for a city to have fewer people who use services and don't pay for them, it's the people who do pay for them that can hurt a city by leaving.

NYC doesn't provide them the economic benefits, they provide them to the city. The city needs them far more than they need the city. Bill DeBlasio didn't turn Wall St. into a financial center, it has been there for over 200 years, and they don't keep pieces of paper in a portfolio anymore or really need the physical location to nearly the same extent they used to, so they can just slowly start moving elsewhere as they have been.

Isn't one of his major platforms that people shouldn't be able to make money in real estate? Why would anybody dump a bunch of money into real estate with a 50 year period to see any ROI instead of just spending that money in places with like a 6-7 year breakeven time? There's a reason there are already like 30,000 rent controlled apartments kept off the market in a city that already has a housing shortage.

Rent controls are garbage and Democrats resort to them cover up their shit policies. And you end up with rental units that are shittier than slums because there's no money to maintain them.

Rent Control Doesn’t Solve Housing Shortages​

Rent Control Doesn’t Solve Housing Shortages

Rent control laws help a few people—but not always low-income ones—& rarely have the intended effect of increasing the supply of housing for low-income residents.
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com

However, limiting rent increases is an overly broad tool for helping low-income tenants struggling with housing costs. The ultimate result of any rent control, whether in Washington State or elsewhere, will be fewer new apartments, less maintenance spending on existing apartments

The modest benefits that accrue to this cohort come at a significant cost: For starters, developers who earn less money from their property as a result of rental price caps have less money available to do maintenance—and less of an incentive to spend money on it—so depreciation increases, which reduces the quality of existing housing. Developers faced with tangible constraints on prices—and the prospect of those constraints becoming more constricting in the future—find it less profitable to build new buildings, further reducing supply.

Those who do manage to find a rent-controlled apartment may benefit from the law, but many others will have trouble obtaining housing altogether. Rent caps beget shortages by design.

One main reason housing costs are high in Washington State—as well as San Francisco, D.C., and Oregon, among others—is that the housing supply has not kept up with housing demand. The main reason for this is that the governments in many of these places have enacted a variety of rules and regulations that have made it difficult for developers to construct new housing in response to surging demand.

If Washington’s political leaders want to address its housing problem it should combine additional, directed housing subsidies for low-income families with efforts to make it easier for developers to build new housing—especially where it is most in demand. But it is politically easier to pass facile laws to direct the private sector to bear the burden of paying for a public policy failure, even when the ultimate outcome will make the problem worse in the long term.



And the voting rubes fell for this shit... again
 
Disappointing how the NYC race turned out but not surprising. I read in the past that only a small percentage of New Yorker's vote. Overall they don't view politicians as being that important apparently. And that block voting was going on. Muslims that live in the city came out in drovers for the soon to be mayor.

It will be interesting to see what how this guy governors. Will Islam be of great importance to his office and way of governing? Some believe it will. We will be finding out if New York City is a city run on religious muslim values.

In islamic countries, government and islam are largely one and the same. There is no separation of religion and state.

I hope many from New York City do not move to Florida. I saw write ups saying up to 7% of the city said they would move.

They're slowly moving away yet the city's budget keeps growing

They're moving away yet the luxury apartment market grew from last year and has been steady for the past decade:

Bucking the Nationwide Trend, Manhattan’s Luxury Apartments Are Booming​

Sales of high-end condos and co-ops jumped 18% in the second quarter compared to a year ago, with the median price reaching more than $6.5 million​

Looking forward to time square becoming the well known icon it was in the 70s. Ahh good times ahead.

You sound totally reasonable and stable. Your dumbass can't even get his name right.

Maybe you should stick to what you do best, watching 10 seconds videos clipped by people who spread so many lies that it results in children's hospitals getting bomb threats.

Amazes me that people continue to ignore this fantastically successful program.

CAHOOTS (crisis response)

CAHOOTS (Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets) is a mental-health-crisis intervention program in Eugene, Oregon, which has handled some lower-risk emergency calls involving mental illness and homelessness since 1989. This makes it the earliest, or one of the earliest, Mobile Crisis Teams.

In most American cities, police have been responding to such calls and at least 25% of people killed in police encounters had been suffering from serious mental illness. Many cities in the US and elsewhere have been considering and implementing something like CAHOOTS. In 2015, Stockholm a similar concept was considered a success. In early 2020, Denver started a similar program. After the George Floyd protests that year, several hundred cities in the US interested in implementing similar programs requested information from CAHOOTS.

In 2021, the US enacted legislation to cover 85% of the expenses for three years for Mobile Crisis Teams, directing $1 billion to the effort. By the end of the year, many cities were starting such programs, such as Minneapolis' Behavioral Crisis Response. By 2024, most US states had multiple cities implementing such programs, or had them available state-wide.

Real bad news on that front.

www.opb.org

Eugene after CAHOOTS: The end of the crisis response program, and the efforts to bring it back

CAHOOTS, a vital crisis response program in Eugene, ceased operations after 15 years, leaving community members and former workers advocating for its return to provide crucial support for individuals facing mental health crises.
www.opb.org

There's a big effort to bring it back, though. They do still operate in Springfield, and some of the service coverage was taken by a similar county program.

Folks being excited to see a part of our country fail is the most depressing shit. It’s not what I would want, but I don’t want NYC to somehow suffer because of it.

If there are to be any new reforms implemented, I would have tried it out in a smaller city first but if it has to be NY, then why not..

We all get a front row seat to see if these new reforms actually do take effect and if they prove effective.

If any pros come out of it, it’s NY and what works in NY usually spreads to the rest of the country. And if nothing but Cons come out of this, then it will end in NY as well..

NY has been chosen as the Petri dish, let’s see if anything works and keep it, and if it doesn’t work, fuck it and don’t bring it up again..

I think everybody knows that showing support for one of the worst people to ever live 80 years after they suicided themselves senseless is not the same as espousing a singular Marxist concept, but if I were you, I'd definitely continue this train of thought because I really think it's gonna get you somewhere.

No it isn't. That's what you call a false equivalency.

Do you care to elaborate on Mamdani was talking about when he said that? I can't. I doubt you can either since what he said was pretty brief on the topic.

There have been capitalist countries who seized the means of production for random sectors of business. The US loves propping up corporations with tax money with no return on investment. There's a million different ways you could spin that small sound bite.

On the other hand...there's only one way can spin the quote you compared it too lol.

False equivalency my man.

Its the most furthest to the left slogan I can think of. Is there another one that you know of that is even further?

Sounds like Trump's economy is really booming for the luxury apartments, but yes, people are leaving and the city has been spending more than it's receiving for several years and have been draining their rainy day funds rolled from previous years for 3 straight years.


cbcny.org

Running on Empty

While the City’s short-term choices have increasingly stressed its finances, federal budget and tax policy changes may well reduce funds that support the City and State budgets.
cbcny.org cbcny.org

CBC found that:


  • Expenses exceeded revenues by $636.0 million in fiscal year 2023 and $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2024, adjusted for the City’s ability to shift timing of payments;
  • Year-end prepayment of expenses—which effectively rolls previously accumulated excess money from one year to the next—declined from $6.1 billion in fiscal year 2022 to $4.4 billion in fiscal year 2024, and is likely to decline further in fiscal year 2025;
  • The fiscal year 2026 preliminary budget is short $3.6 billion needed to provide planned services;
    • This shortfall is comprised of underbudgeting $4.0 billion needed to maintain current service levels and $450.0 million to implement the State’s Class Size Reduction mandate, offset by $575.0 million in higher than budgeted State support and $266.0 million in overbudgeting for City-funded asylum seeker services;
  • The City has already added $3.8 billion during fiscal year 2025 to fund programs that CBC identified as underbudgeted at the beginning of the fiscal year, and more will likely be needed;
    • During fiscal year 2024, the City added $4.0 billion to fund underbudgeted programs that year; and
  • Future budget gaps are $7.8 billion, $10.1 billion, and $9.6 billion in fiscal years 2027 to 2029, respectively, when underbudgeting, the Class Size Reduction mandate, and projected asylum seeker costs are taken into account.
 
Islam Newsom. Im sure whatever he comes up with will make Prop 47 look like a good idea.

So you can't answer the question? Saying it once I guess isn't enough. 😂🤷‍♂️😂🤷‍♂️😂🤷‍♂️😂🤷‍♂️😂🤷‍♂️

Bro, you literally have not answered anything I've asked you.

A) I asked you if you expand on what he means. You didn't answer. Because you can't. Neither can I. You're referring to something he said once and didn't really expand on what he means. You could spin that many different ways.

B) You keep calling it a slogan. I don't think slogan means what you think it means.

C) You compared it to somebody saluting Hitler. You seem to be under the impression that saying what he said can only mean one thing. As I've already explained to you, there are plenty of capitalist countries that have taken over an entire sector but remain capitalist.

Do you care to actually respond or are you going to continue being (R)etarded

How is it a slogan? Lmao

Can you show us any other examples of him even saying that 😂🤷‍♂️

Conservatives have a very small, uninspired quiver, and they've been using the "communism" arrow for almost a century. It isn't surprising that in a country ruled by largely unregulated capitalism so many continue to use it while unable to convincingly prove a case.

It's the words that matter to them, not the truth.

Trump has shredded regulation, kneecapped American clean energy, destroyed international trust, and sold pardons for billions.

Conservatives continue to insist Kamala would magically have been worse, which is impossible to imagine.
