NYC died in... Maybe the 70s or 80s? I rode a train from Lancaster PA to NYC a few times, and you could see the "death" surrounding it.

Trash issues, never resolved.

Constantly degraded natural gas lines, subways, etc.

It's no different than any other Democrat Single party city, except there's a level of crassness which is bizarre.

(NYC really needs to be forced to attend etiquette classes before they leave. Something entitled "You're leaving the ape house, how to not be a feral primate."

It will get better after Mamdani gets his ‘Rezoning’ Plan for Muslim Areas.

350 mosques in an area of 305 square miles. That's all you need to know about NYC these days.

NYC Mayor Mamdani's Housing Plan Sparks Property-Rights Alarm Over Forced Transfers To Nonprofits

Mamdani Releases "Block by Block The Housing Plan for A New Era"

NYC socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani released "Block by Block: The Housing Plan for a New Era," which presents a sweeping, deeply troubling blueprint to tackle the metro area's deepening housing crisis.

Mamdani told the crowd:

When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards include community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.

Rent control so landlords cannot raise rent to properly maintain the property. NYC takes the property and gives it to his political friends that donate to him. This is all going to be a theft scheme.

Another X user asked:

"Insane. If this isn't communism, I don't know what is. Has America really reached the point of communism?"

Mamdani's backdoor property-seizure strategy will likely spook lenders, insurers, and small landlords. That's because it caps landlord income, allows residential buildings to become distressed, then uses the city's enforcement to push properties into nonprofit, community land trust, or tenant ownership.

In pockets, yes. What’s more alarming is how many people are not repulsed by Marxism, communism, socialism and the true definition of fascism.

Is he going to rename it New Jack City?

Kathy's trying to figure out how SHE can make money off this. Priorities.

Has a government ever solved any problems like this before? No, it'll get worse and the people don't even know it yet.
Its going to be one gigantic ghetto.
Blow the bridges and tunnels now.

It's maybe too late. Ocean and Monmouth County have had NY'er invading at a crazy rate. paying eyepopping money and bringing their attitudes/voting habits with them.

I'm glad there will be nothing arbitrary what negligent is.

The fleeing NYers have gone west as well. The town I live in is slowly turning blue. It doesn't help with low income housing on the rise in our town and neighboring towns as well.

NYC is going to have to learn the hard way that this is true. They brought it onto themselves, so enjoy it.

Zohran Mamdani's City-Run Grocery Store Just Got Even Worse

The first of five city-run grocery stores in New York City, La Marqueta, may carry a price tag nearly double the already outrageous $30 million Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced last month.

The East Harlem site selected for the store was reportedly approved for a $25 million upgrade years ago in 2017, yet it still sits vacant and run-down. That brings the total projected cost of the city-run grocery store to roughly $55 million, compared to the typical cost of opening a private grocery store, which is around $3 million.

According to the NYC Economic Development Corporation, that $25 million was supposed to provide La Marqueta with a playground, dog park, outdoor seating, and transform the building into a market offering the local community “fresh produce, grocery items, prepared foods, and public seating in a food hall environment.”

It remains unclear what happened to that $25 million, as La Marqueta currently has none of the features outlined in the 2017 plan. It is also unclear why Mayor Mamdani failed to mention that the city’s $30 million price tag for the city-run grocery store came on top of the already allocated $25 million.

“The $30 million is an outrageous number” by itself, Stephen Zagor, an adjunct associate professor of food studies at Columbia Business School, said. “You’d expect the doorknobs and cash registers to be solid gold.”

“And to think there is another $25 million allocated years ago for the rest of La Marqueta, which is well past its prime, I’d think they would have to revisit that."

It is unclear where the $25 million in taxpayer funds is, or whether it actually went into the project.

Mamdani has vowed to open five city-run grocery stores across the city, one in each borough, and has allocated a total of $70 million to the project. Many have questioned why La Marqueta alone requires $30 million, leaving roughly $10 million for each of the remaining four locations.

Critics have blasted Mamdani’s plan, arguing that the city-run stores would outcompete local businesses while wasting taxpayer funds. Others warn the experiment in socialism could lead to long lines and shortages reminiscent of the Soviet model, which Mamdani would likely argue was not an example of real socialism.

“Nonprofit “ “ community land trust” I would make a safe bet these organizations will be “ managed “ by lefty cronies of mamdummy
Elitists will do anything to hold / consolidate power. Every communist regime has always had a small group of privileged elitist who still profit enormously by the general population suffering
