Taxing the rich won’t build more housing. Yall dont want to hear what the issue is when I keep telling you.
So build more affordable housing in all 5 boroughs and stop price gouging that makes landlords live in luxiry
“affordable housing” doesn’t exist. You only lower prices by buying more.
The price per unit is what it’s gonna be regardless. You need looser zoning laws so developers can fill more niches of housing options…and comply with all the union demands and other regulatory obstacles.
So why are you defending illegals you stupid fukk?
I’m defending people, not labels. If your argument can’t exist without dehumanizing, it’s not an argument, it’s just a tantrum with a keyboard.
Mass deportations are the policy of a competent and efficient nation
No, they’re the policy of regimes that value optics over outcomes. Competent nations build systems that work, immigration included, not ones that spend billions tearing families apart for headlines and donor applause.
Emotional pablum
You call it emotional, I call it being human.
Normal people dont support degeneracy and vagrancy
This isn’t about morality, it’s about whether you want a society that solves problems or just kicks the powerless until they disappear.
Bail reform failed because of progressives like you were led around by incessant humanizing of criminals not attempts to adjudicate trial procedure from the indigent.
Bail reform failed because the system never wanted it to succeed. Judges and prosecutors didn’t implement it with care, they sabotaged it, then pointed at the chaos.
Undocumented migrants should apply for legal migration at their home countries US embassy.
I support the reviewal process for existing legal residents.
You don't think they don't want to? The backlog is years long, quotas are rigged, and for many there isn't a legal path. Telling people to wait in line for a door that is welded shut isn't policy. In terms of the review process, yes, so do I... but that's not the debate. The issue is what we do with the millions already here: working, raising kids, and contributing. You can’t solve immigration by pretending they don’t exist.
I thought you supported law enforcement? The collapse of society is non-negotiable.
Exactly. That’s why I support reform. Because leaning on cops to solve housing, mental illness, and poverty isn’t law enforcement, it’s a system on life support.
What is an illegal immigrant?
What is the point of a passport?
Yeah. Emotional.
I dont know what powerless means.
You got your policy now you blame “the system”.
So what is it? Was the idea? the implementation? or “the system that let you implement your failed policy?”
No one has a right to immigration.
Too bad. Come up with better policy.
What is an illegal immigrant?
A human being in a broken system. “Illegal immigrant” is a legal status, not a character trait.
What is the point of a passport?
To regulate travel, not to determine a person’s worth. Borders exist, but so do exceptions, emergencies, and global crises.
Yeah. Emotional.
If your politics can’t make space for basic human empathy, they’re not strong, they’re just hollow.
I dont know what powerless means.
Then you’ve never been evicted, profiled, denied healthcare, or forced to plead guilty because you couldn’t afford bail. Powerless means living with consequences you didn’t create and can’t escape.
You got your policy now you blame “the system”.
So what is it? Was the idea? the implementation? or “the system that let you implement your failed policy?”
It was the implementation, wrecked by a system that never wanted the idea to work. Judges ignored the risk standards, DAs inflated fear, and police unions ran smear campaigns.
No one has a right to immigration.
Sure. But that doesn’t mean nations don’t have obligations, especially ones that helped cause the instability people are fleeing.
Too bad. Come up with better policy.
That’s exactly what progressives are trying to do. But it’s hard to build better policy when the moment you propose one, the establishment guts the budget, the right fearmongers it to death, and the media frames every hiccup as collapse. You want better policy? Start by letting it breathe before you strangle it.

no, it's a person who was born in/is a citizen of one country, and illegally crosses the border of another country
how embarrassing.
a legal status of what?
Regulate what travel?
This is subjective and undefined.
I dont commit crimes and I participate in valuable enterprises.
Make better choices.
A system that let you experiment is a system against you? Is that what you’re saying?
Thats not my problem.
Progressives are not coming up with solutions. They’re catering to people’s basic whims instead of offering solutions that fix things long term. Emotional appeals are not sustainable.

I don't lean a particular way on this as I don't live in NYC, but trying to shame people for voting for him is not a great strategy in the year 2025. We are in the era of populism and if Dems didn't want him to win the nomination, then they should have ran a better candidate.
NYC spends more money than any other city. It’s clearly not an investment issue. It’s an allocation and efficiency issue. The processes and procedures and interest groups are too mangled.
NYC has 4x the staffing level costs to build underground rail than any other country.
Democrats are fukking this up.

You are clearly in bot mode, AI mode, automode, call-center mode or whatever.
I don't even know who this nikka is. I don't really know his policies. All I know is he went against a person like Cuomo. Your rage is blinding you from having a real discussion about this.
