The mother of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new renters’ rights honcho — who has come under fire for dubbing homeownership “a weapon of white supremacy” — is a professor at a prestigious college and has a $1.6 million home.
Office of Tenant Protection Director Cea Weaver’s mom, Celia Applegate, teaches German studies at Vanderbilt University and owns a pricey classic Craftsman home just south of the main strip in Nashville, Tennessee.
Appelgate bought the property with her partner, David Blackbourn, during July 2012 for $814,000 and real estate websites now list the pad’s value at more than $1.6 million, records show.
The revelation comes after Weaver’s past slew of inflammatory social media posts came to light — including comments raging against what Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America ally dubbed a racist homeownership system in the country.
“Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy,” Weaver, 37, spouted in 2019.
The longtime tenants’ rights advocate also repeatedly railed against landlords, saying in 2024 that the city should “seize private property” if buildings are allowed to fall into disrepair and officials deem it necessary.
Mamdani has stood by his controversial pick, telling reporters Tuesday, “We made the decision to have Cea Weaver serve as our executive director for the mayor’s office to protect tenants.”
Weaver quickly hung up the phone Tuesday when a Post reporter identified themself, only saying, “I cannot talk right now.”

Of course.
Private property ownership is only for the elite and privileged. IOW, them.
ugh, these wretched people are vile and despicable.
And that’s the nicest things I can say about them.
COOL let’s seize her house, oh wait that’s different..Ya see this is what these white commies do, they bash white people so the commies will leave them alone
She needs to house 22 people in there for the good od the collective.
Communism for thee but not for me.
Sounds like she lives in what is called Green Hills or Bellvue. Pricey neighborhoods.
Just a modest Dacha in the hills.
The party approves.
Who knows, the mom may just have a vengeful stupid kid.
Well, his mom must be supreme!
These people accel in two things and that is bullsh!t and hypocrisy.
The irony is off the chart.
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
—George Orwell, Animal Farm.
Typical Marxist hypocrite.
It’d be a damn shame if [redacted] were to happen.
Water the Tree!
...with a concentration in camps, no doubt.
As is usual, the worst of these leftie idiots come from a privileged background… as does Mamdani himself.
A professor of German Studies can afford an $800K home?
Hey the Nomenklatura have to live too!
The retard czar worried about “White Supremacy” is and butt scratchin moron who doesn’t know what a hypocrite is.
