Liberal New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is rolling out a new plan that would potentially allow the city government to seize buildings of landlords who force tenants out -- a plan his opponents say amounts to “straight communism.”

De Blasio, in his State of the City address on Thursday, announced he wants to take action against landlords who try to force tenants out by making the property unliveable -- and pulled out an executive order to create a Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants. He said that in the event the government intervenes, the buildings would then be controlled by a “community nonprofit.”

Given this is NYC and how byzantine the rules are this is De Blasio stating he will seize property at a whim. One broken window; the city seizes the property.

Headline makes it sound as though only “opponents” see it as Communistic, and even they are merely “crying” it.

(1) Gov't creates strict rules (Rent-control laws for example)

(2) Landlords say screw it, I'm not building more units or keeping up my property why should I?

(3) Landlords are then called evil and greedy by Democrats and so-called activist groups

(4) Said activist groups demand more laws

(5) Shortages happen, more homelessness as a result

(6) City demands more subsidized housing

“Trump may well have to send in the military if this Communist tries this !”

Why? just plug up the tunnels, blockade the bridges, and encourage some sharks to move into the Hudson and East Rivers, and let him go to town. I have a good HS friend who owns more than 250 properties in Manhattan. I’ll have to give him a call and ask him what he thinks.

NY City is an ironic mix of Uber-wealthy crony-capitalist, progressive “too big to fail” financial traders, whose virtue-signalling eventually allowed a Marxist to take over.

I hope they all fail.

De Blasio pitches plan to seize private property of problem landlords...<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Not without a court order. I can see law suits being prepared already. We will fight them and destroy them, whatever it takes.

This is liberal fascism, brought into the left within the Democrat party by Alinsky and Barrack Obama, The Dems are no longer Democrats BTW, they are liberal fascists;

They get what they vote for. If they didn’t vote, that’s on them.
