NYC is about to get even more expensive if Zohran gets in

They don't get it... notice the victory lap posts

They're more about the symbolic middle finger to Trumpism and the MAGA shyt that goes along with it, which is cool because I don't think any on The Coli is truly right wing or MAGA, but they're not really about much else.

FAFO has a name and it is Mamdani

You damn well know a majority of those gentrifiers that voted for him WILL be out of the city within less than 5 years tops. And more than likely, most of the gentrifiers are gonna be the ones who are gonna be the new low income class anyway.

The fukk are y'all talking about

I'm Fort Greene born and raised.

Blue MAGA in NYC is gonna be fun to watch though

If he adds more housing stock as per his plan, that'll drop back down

That's not how rent works

Rent is a function of demand and supply. If you try and jack your rent up to cover the broker fee (which, why would you), then your vacancy rate goes up.

This is not going to happen in NYC when there is a current shortage of housing. Landlords know this and will charge accordingly.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good move. but on average, renters will always get the short end of the stick.

smoking on that AIPACk

If he gets into the office, he’s going to be as much of a failure as the current mayor of Chicago, but whatever people need to learn hard lessons about actual economics and political reality. Enough hand holding.

why can't he be a success like michelle wu in boston?

I hate using the word “woke” as a pejorative but… she’s terrible.

Paying rent just to view an apartment?



Last time I rented it was first month, last month, deposit. I was like damn, I gotta buy a house. Paying motherfukkers 3 months worth of rent upfront ain’t the move.

Whats not being talked about is how many gentrifiers are financially illiterate. You cant tell me someone is financially literate if their monthly rent which in most cases is subletting a room is 2 months of someone elses mortgage for a house. Thats just dumb. Then again, from what ive seen, many of them act like theyre on a college campus/living in a dorm/or stuck in college. A lot of them have big egos like college students too. What could possibly go wrong?

I a

Flooding the country with illegal immigrants will hurt Black Americans. Also, the policies that you outlined would help marginally but it they would not close a wealth gap. We need baby bonds for generationally poor Black Americans. We need reparations for Black farms that were cheated etc.

We are talking about NEW YORK CITY. Those programs are what we need here NOW.

I really wish some of you with your blanket statements stop letting then speak for what people locally need. Local needs differ from whats obvious sloganeering

 

[NYC Rebel]

Lol black and Spanish folk are propping cuomo up

No we arent. Look at the numbers.

Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, and Flatbush showed out.

They don't get it.

Adams gave the City Council almost everything they wanted. Any pushback against the shyt they wanted was largely the shyt that the actual residents of these neighborhoods didn't want.

The City Council and the Borough Presidents decide what ACTUALLY goes on in this city because at the end of the day, the CC and the BPs determine who sits on the Community Boards, who are largely only supposed to "advocate on behalf of the community".

They won't do the math because it destroys their dumbass logic: if the Community Boards are stocked with people who will only sign off on shyt that the CC and Borough President wants and the CC and BPs are bought and sold by the same corporations that these people SAY they don't want, then it's really just an echo chamber politically.

Which is why he's running on building more housing stock. It's a demand and supply issue at the end of the day.

Do you still live there?

Yes. Few blocks away from the park, off of Myrtle
