This guy is certifiably insane


New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio once argued for a planned economy, claiming that the legal protection of private property is what is causing serious inequality in the city.

“What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property. I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be,” de Blasio told New York Magazine in September 2017.

“I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs,” de Blasio said. “And I would, too.”

De Blasio went on to say that it is unfortunate the law stands in the way of “hundreds of years of history” of Americans having the right to private property.

“Unfortunately, what stands in the way of that is hundreds of years of history that have elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that’s the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development,” de Blasio said.

The solution to fixing housing and other perceived ills in the city, according to de Blasio, is to rid itself of exclusionary private property rights.

“Look, if I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed. And there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents. That’s a world I’d love to see, and I think what we have, in this city at least, are people who would love to have the New Deal back, on one level,” de Blasio told New York Magazine.

“They’d love to have a very, very powerful government, including a federal government, involved in directly addressing their day-to-day reality.”

De Blasio promised Monday at his second swearing in as New York City mayor to usher the city into a “new progressive era” that will spread beyond the city’s “borders.”

“Something big is happening in New York City,” de Blasio told a crowd of hundreds gathered in front of City Hall Monday. The 56-year-old Democratic mayor announced a commitment to bring about “a new progressive era in this city’s history,” one that will be “felt beyond our borders.”

This guy for sure. Rahm is an asshole, but he's really just your standard corrupt in it for himself politician. He would swing and vote conservative on everything in 10 seconds flat if it would benefit him or his friends. DeBlasio is a different beast entirely. He is truly a tyrant, he wants to be in charge of every minuscule detail of the lives of every person on the planet who isn't him. I truly believe he would be the next Stalin if he could pull it off.

You'll have to excuse me from the thread please, I have to go clean my rifle.

De Blasio needs to go back to school and read up on the New Deal, specifically the part about the creation of the FHA. And his words from an article and I quote:"That’s a world I’d love to see, and I think what we have, in this city at least, are people who would love to have the New Deal back, on one level,” de Blasio told New York Magazine.

1934
The National Housing Act of 1934 created the Federal Housing Administration in order to help the United States recover from the Great Depression. The housing industry was flat and two million construction workers had lost their jobs. It was difficult for the average citizen to find a bank that was willing to loan money for a home purchase. Mortgage terms at the time were limited to 50 percent of the property's market value, and repayment was spread over 3 to 5 years with a balloon payment due at the end. Only 4 in 10 households owned a home. FHA changed all that by being able to insure new mortgages, to promise banks that they would be paid back.

And apparently "hizzoner" the Mayor does not believe in "practice what you preach".

Google "De Blasio real estate holdings"

It's amazing how people like him can tell us how we should live........people who live in glass houses...

I agree with this.

Hey Billy,

Kiss my old white behind!

A quote which I believe has been posted here before, but seems appropriate:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” ― C.S. Lewis

He knows what is best for his people without them knowing what it is.

And what property, or multiple properties, does he own? He'd better be going home to a one-bedroom apartment at night.

Let's build the first wall around NYC, just, ya know, for practice.

Then give Kurt Russel a call.

Ah yes

Typical democraP politicraP.

Rules for me, rules for thee.

Spoken like a rue communist/socialist, which by his own admission, is exactly what he is. He traveled to Nicaragua and supported the Sandinistas. He ran as a Democrat and was a long shot to win, until Anthony's weiner story came out and he dropped out of the race.
He easily won re-election.
