New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said on MSNBC Monday morning his city will ban “inefficient” steel and glass skyscrapers as part of their Green New Deal.

While Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal sputtered in Washington D.C., her home city of New York has embraced key pillars of the plan.

When asked about it on Morning Joe, de Blasio outlined the proposal.

“We are making the Green New Deal come alive here in New York City,” he said. “It’s three very basic ideas. One, the biggest source of emissions in New York City is buildings.”

With DUH blah blah blah zero? Probably not.

[Vaquero]

Why do we allow the insane to rule us?

[gundog]

Adobe. The “engineers” are sneaking across the border as I type.

[piasa]

Maybe they should use bullcrap mixed with shredded documents to make adobe skyscrapers- things they have in abundance.

NO foam cups!!!! Wut’s wrong with you? Erf hater! LOL!

[dainbramaged]

They could use the time tested methods from sub-Saharan Africa for their buildings - mud and sticks, just like a beaver.

I’ve read that industrial hemp was stronger than steel. But glass still needs to come from the Earth, so that won’t help.

[ptsal]

Take a tour of Moscow or any of the former Easter Bloc countries for examples of the DeBlosio design goals. Yikes!@@

This has got to be satire.

I recall with great fondness sitting on the front porch of my mud hut near the Limpopo river embracing the odor of dung fires in the morning. :-)

[gundog]

Wattle and daub. Make a great UN building.

[TalBlack]

They are destroying the rule of Law with these insane abuses of power.

[dsrtsage]

Trumps buildings must be made out of glass and steel

[VideoDoctor]

Coming soon... Lego Blocks Skyscraper Buildings! /s

[Beagle8U]

Build one out of wood and force De Blasso to live on the tippy top of it.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Aren’t most of the buildings in New York City, at least in Manhattan, steel and glass skyscrapers? Are the going to tear down buildings? What the heck?

[TangledUpInBlue]

This isn’t worth the ether its printed on without a definition of “inefficient”

[Pajamajan]

"now need to build with fully organic, free-range bamboo walls and palm leaves for the roof."

Or perhaps they could build with feces and discarded syringes. California has an oversupply if they need it.

Is he a nut case or what!
