NEW YORK CITY — Zohran Mamdani, winner of New York City's mayoral Democratic primary, has vowed to knock down the One World Trade Center in order to build more affordable housing.
Mamdani admitted that taking down the popular tower was something of a political suicide mission, but he remained undeterred.
"We will not allow the wealthy capitalist elite to hijack our city," said Mamdani. "As mayor, I promise to take this problem head on by bringing down One World Trade Center and putting cheap, government-controlled apartments in its place. I understand that people believe this initiative could really blow up in my face. But so long as I'm at the controls, that's where we're heading."
Many New Yorkers have expressed doubts about Mamdani's plan, not believing it to be feasible. "That tower would be almost impossible to take down, unless the support structure were to be melted or something," said local man Roger Philips. "Mamdani said he has a plan he's been working on for years with a dozen or so experts, but I'm skeptical."
At publishing time, Mamdani had announced he would also be removing all synagogues in the city to make way for new government-operated grocery stores.

Um….
“Um” what? It’s the Bee... Yes, I get it...
Doesn’t negate my point.
How about knocking the UN down and moving it to Brussels?
Good luck NYC. You picked a real winner! /s
OMG! For a moment I thought this was real. The Bee, that darned Bee makes ups stories so real you just can’t tell the difference. Sadly, some day this story may be actual headlines.
The Democrat party is becoming unelectable... It’s a good thing.
put the UnitedNazis in there.. first.
I'm not sure why anyone who could get out of NYC wouldn't do it these days. What am I missing?
New Yxxx -> New Stalingrad City
