…Housing affordability and quality-of-life concerns are pushing longtime Black New Yorkers out of the city, underscoring Democrats’ challenges with their base ahead of the mayoral election…
For the better part of the 35 years that she lived in Brooklyn’s East New York neighborhood, Dorinda Pannell made affordable housing her top — if not only — mission.
A lifelong Democrat, tenant leader with East Brooklyn Congregations and avid voter, Ms. Pannell, 75, known to her neighbors in the Linden Houses as “Miss P,” spent years organizing her fellow residents to push for better housing conditions. She even took her fight to City Hall to give a speech about it.
Now she is following New York’s mayoral primary closely, hopeful that the city’s next leader will do more for the millions of New Yorkers experiencing housing insecurity, particularly longtime Black and Latino residents who say that good-quality, affordable places to live are more and more elusive.
But she will not be voting in the primary or be able to see for herself how the next mayoral administration affects her community. For the last five years, Ms. Pannell has lived in Hampton, Va., where she can be closer to her son, obtain better health care and enjoy what she believes is a higher quality of life and lower cost of living.
Ms. Pannell is one of the hundreds of thousands of Black New Yorkers who over the last decade have made the excruciating choice to leave the city they’ve called home for generations.

Since there’s commie style rent control in NYC, an existing resident is not leaving due to housing costs.
Mrs P has decided the free shit is better in Virginia
Mississippi has lots of land. Problem is you have to work it.
Tough choices. LOL!
NYC is electing a Muslim mayor tonight. The city is going the way of London. Black residents are now towards the bottom of the totem poll when it comes to city resources. Illegal aliens have taken over their spot when it comes to catering for votes. Criminals of all races out-rank them as well.
The Muslim socalist is winning
“Well, we’re movin’ on up to the east side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky”
I think, if this guy wins, inter- racial violence will be all over NYC.
Government of, by and for illegal aliens.
Maybe the DOJ will ppull up his original visa and find out he lied on it. Then the elected mayor can be sent back to where he came from.I suppose he could still govern from back home. The Democrats are flexible for that sort of thing.

This is just the Dem primary. There will be a multi candidate race in the fall with the dem, the currecnt mayor, Eric Adams (ind), Curtis Silwia (R) and a couple of others. NYC does use RCV for thier general election. I cannot find the info on whether they do any other runoff, etc.
I guess that’s one way to keep your voter base.
Hampton VA - she be renting from Letitia James
Sorry black folks. The democrats know they have your vote. You’re chopped liver. Illegal aliens and Islamists are the new king of the victim pyramid.
Rent control will scare away the real capital investments -> improvements needed to make places nice to live. When such a system exists then the investors are playing roulette & they can only win if they are super tight with a corrupt political system.
Anyone wanting long-term stability and fairness LOSES in such a system.
Apparently guilt-ridden white leftists are taking over and they are going from bat-shit crazy to full bore commie crazy.
