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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Is he going to personally fly the plane into the tower or get someone else to do it?
The Saudis should be made to build it back just the way it was. Put the UN in there.
Idiots in NY never learned from 9/11/01
"Our city"?
Mr Towelhead, you idiot:
Wealthy capitalists built the city.
Isn't it something that that seemed so accurate and believable? The part that had me look again was replacing all the synagogues with government grocery stores.
If he suggested doing this with the UN building I would be torn.
Dear Bee, never ever give a muzzie leftist turd any ideas.
Never ever.
The UN should move to Geneva. The UN building can be turned into affordable housing. Of course after 20 years it will need to be torn down.
Me too.
Satire is getting harder and harder not to think it’s reality
This seems to be their game plan, make outrageous promises, steal an election, then make good implementing those outrageous things they promised, as if they have a mandate from the people.
London redux...
Nailed by the bee!! My mouth is sore from how deep the hook was set!
Already been tried.../S
He should tare down the mosque they built to mark their victory and build a dump.
Well... at least watching those idiots trying to demolition the building will show what it REALLY takes to demo a building in downtown NYC and just might shut some of the idiot 9/11 conspiracies up...
Like democrat and islamist (but I repeat myself) *leaders*, they all want someone else to do the dirty work.
And yet, after reading it in The Bee, I’ll bet he proposes it.
Thought it was real until I read the last line of the excerpt.
