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-Cortezs 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. Its three very basic ideas. One, the biggest source of emissions in New York City is buildings.

Oh I know how East Berlin looked, Warsaw pretty much looked the same.
But if the Rats keep it up, the city will deteriorate even worse.
“...Then again, they were nuts enough to elect him in the first place, so I could be wrong.”
And nuts enough to elect him again in the second place.
de Blasio's vision of New York
Your Mud Hut had a front porch? Your Privilege is showing.
We only had stumps to sit on. And they were pointy and uncomfortable.
I went to East Berlin in 1962 on a tour with my mom when my dad was stationed in London. I was 15 and man did it leave a lasting impression on me. We crossed at Checkpoint Charlie. I still have a map that I had laminated to preserve it showing Berlin at the time. Some folks have no clue as to how bad it was. My uncle bombed it and then flew supplies in after the war during the Berlin Air Lift.
Oh, like cyprus knees? LOL!
“deblazio’s office will become the source of all future building material: Unlimited Bullsh**!!!”
So are you suggesting that future “construction” in NYC will be limited to Yak dung bricks?

Good luck doing that, given modern building materials, especially window glass with better insulation qualities than the old R19 wall insulation.
What’s sad are the millions who vote for this.

“Why not? San Francisco already does. Seattle is close behind as is Portland. “
It’s interesting that you raise this issue. Our daughter lives in downtown Oakland, in a very nice neighborhood with a park, a block square, that was until recently a homeless encampment. On the adjacent block to the north a probably 40 story combination office and condo building is in the final stages of completion. We were there two days ago and the park is totally cleared of both the “people” and their “stuff.” So we asked our daughter what happened. She said that the new building’s owners had made it clear that the park had to be cleaned up prior to their starting occupancy, and that the tax revenue the city would “realize” from the building was in jeopardy absent a clean park.
Well, if they REALLY REALLY cared, as they claim, they would remove themselves from the polluting equation.
They are going to leislate “legal” demands for massive “upgrades” to New York City buildings’ HVAC systems, costing building owners’ collectively billions of dollars (either by making the upgrades or paying ramsom in “carbon credits), raising both commerical and residential market-based rents (while sheltering in that legislation the owners with ren-controlled units), making New York City cost of living and cost of doing business more expensive than they are already.
Isn’t than wonderful!!! /sarc
Reminds me of a joke1 A US airliner was lost at Frankfort Airport. They asked the tower for directions to their gate. The tower was miffed that they could not find their own way. The pilot responded that the last time he was in the area he was flying a piston-engined aircraft, he didn’t land and it was dark!
