Talk about a twofer: doubling down on disaster and getting what entrenched liberals outvoted the saner citizens for.
When New York State’s Governor Kathy Hochul presented her budget on 1 Feb of this year, most of the attention was immediately captured by the pie-in-the-sky Green/renewable mandates it contained (previewed when I posted on her State of the State.) The proposals are so out of touch with the reality of NY state’s weather extremes, especially living anywhere outside the five boroughs of the city, that they’d be laughable if she and the Green lobby loons working them up weren’t deadly serious about imposing them.
A few weeks have passed since the hubbub over those flashier items, the nuts and bolts of budget staples are coming into focus, and Democrats outside the city do not like what they’re reading.
The first item experiencing real pushback is her housing plan. She wants to see 800K new units built across the state. The problem?
If the community doesn’t like what the state dictates as far as what housing where, and balks, a newly formed state board steps in and overrides the local authority.

Cities seem stupid to me now. They are warehouses for Democrat voters. But who wants to live there? Who needs to work there? Time to move on and leave the urban areas to the ghetto people.
That movie was made in 1981.
I don’t see drug addicts/tents and it looks very clean. I guess the ride to get there can be a bit too “interesting”.
I'm sure the judges who would rule on the legality of this live in dumpy urban ghettos.
“…Speaking on the possible impact on Democrats in Long Island, Democratic Assemblymember Fred Thiele of Sag Habor called both proposals: “extinction-level events” in comments to Newsday.”
Oh my, “extinction-level events.”
The Drama!
.
“Cities seem stupid to me now.”
Agreed
All of the big reasons for the rise of NYC have passed.
Deep water port on the Atlantic-
Erie Canal - then goods go down the Hudson
Ellis Island
Everything else was an outflow of a BUSINESS climate and MONEY.
It’s all gone now, not to return.
The people who can, have already left.
Lots just waiting to leave.
Wyatt’s Torch has been extinguished.
March 2020 or now?
Now....
I did that, quitting my lucrative Midtown job, in 1987, and with no regrets, moved from NJ to PA.
“Cities seem stupid to me now.”
The rule of opposites.
“Progressives” are living in the past.
Their cities are dying—and there is nothing they can do to save them.
I rode Amtrak or NJ’s ConRail from Princeton, NJ, into Penn Station, fort 11yrs, back in the late 70s & 80s. It’s was real “interesting” when heavy rain or snow shorted-out the electricity to the trains, and everything just stopped dead.
Let her go live in the third world country she so desires for others.
Democrats and terrorists have this in common:
You need to win every time. They only need to win once.
Keep voting Democrat you idiots.
Hochul is a worse governor than Cuomo.
No wonder New Yorkers are leaving en masse.
Speaking of Hochul and extinction, from Upstate NY. Another one bites the dust...
Along with all the taxpayer money it got.
