This will also be the first uncorrupted city govt agency in NYC history. /s
This is how socialists advance socialism without people voting for it.
Ropes and lampposts, people.
I love it! New Yorkers have been spreading liberalism/tyranny to the rest of the country via their elected representatives for decades. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. I hope the nyc government takes every penny they have and turns NYC into Venezuela.
As NYC representatives are the enemies of America and the most despicable vermin in Kongress their voters are just as vile and equal enemies of America.
Rent the uncontrolled apartments to low class Indians. The smell of the cooking will drive the renters from the controlled apartments.
The biggest mistake George Washington made was to allow that nest of traitors in New York City back into the republic. Washington should have ordered the city burned to the ground and survivors executed.
It’s so much fun watching de Blasio and Newsom trying to out-socialist each other.
Newsom is going to start taxing the ocean.
What about tenant abuse of the landlord’s property?
“This one is getting delusional, he cant just make up laws and snatch property.”
He’s using the Barak Obola Method! He has a pen and a phone. I know that there are probably some slumlords in NYC, but if their rent control laws are anything like they are here in SF, it’s the landlords who are most likely taking in in the shorts. We have friends who just sold a multi-tenant property in SF. There were several reasons not the least of which is the fact that you cannot get rents, under rent control that allow you to maintain your property and get any kind of return on your investment. Plus the city is forever forcing you to do “upgrades” to guard against earthquakes, that are anything but cheap. Our friends 1031ed their property into rental property in Nevada, where they live, and which is one of the few states that does not have a state income tax. The other consideration is just how long are RE prices going to continue to escalate when you have a continuing exodus of people with money and brains coupled with the out of control “homeless” problem. When the CA RATs “vision” for the state comes to fruition, I just have to wonder if the burgeoning low-IQ Hispanics are going to adversely affect housing prices.
Enjoy your communism New York, you voted for it.
He really does envision himself a dictator. Amazing that people put up with that but did elect him.
I see Detroit in its future, the end result of the utopia they promise
That sounds like an interesting history story I have yet to read. Can you elaborate or provide a title to search for? Thx
New York really needs more regulatory agencies. Fortunately the city’s in great fiscal shape and awash in revenue so financing it won’t be a problem either.
“If fines and penalties don’t do the trick, then “we will seize their buildings, and we will put them in the hands of a community nonprofit that will treat tenants with the respect they deserve,” he added.”
Three little problems here, 1. the reason they are being forced eviction is because they can’t pay the rent, 2. What are they going to do when the back up funds runs out for building maintenance? and 3. If the city seizes the building, then they are responsible for the taxes to be paid on it.
Non-profits do not have the money tree growing in central park. Does he understand how a balance sheet in a budget works? Doesn’t appear so. You have to take in as much as you give out to balance. Nothing coming in and everything going out won’t work very long. And when de Blasio starts using taxpayer money to fund enough buildings he takes over, what’s going to happen to the utilities and the New York Child Health Plus (CHIP) or the New York Head Start or maybe the New York School Breakfast and Lunch Program? Or they can take from the libs favorite program the New York Medicaid. It’s just a matter of time and they will be begging someone to take over a ruined building they won’t be able to give away. He just didn’t think this one through, did he?

The Communist/leftist fully understand the peasants far outnumber the landlords.
Wrong, Detroit is solvent, on the rebound, and is 2nd Admendment friendly. My guess us smart millenials will leave NYC and head for Detwaa to help in its rebound, its got a cool vibe, great food scene and more.
That info on Detroit is great to hear.

One of you should have blown the bridges as you got out.
Hugo Chavez Junior.
Exactly right. My favorite book. So true in the Clinton years, but even more prescient since Obama and now with de Blasio/Cuomo. We lived across the river in NJ, but worked in Manhattan. We watched NYC’s revival in the 90s, and the recent decline of its quality of life.
We left the NorthEast 20 months go. Hooray! My advice to others...get out while you can!
Fascism is a system where citizens can own private property as long as they are serving the common good.
If they are not serving the common good, their property will be seized.
