De Blasio reveals he wants to buy empty NYC buildings and turn them into affordable housing after moving 13,000 homeless into hotels 'for more than $2million a night' and shaming rich residents who left to escape COVID-19 as 'fair weather friends'

deBlasio acts as though he is purposely ruining New York.
Why? I don’t quite know.
Maybe he is exacting some kind of revenge against his own constituents for not embracing even Socialist platforms.

He won’t need that much money. He’ll just condemn the buildings that he wants and use them for public good. Too bad if you have a $2,000,000 condo. It’s now worth 50 grand. Take it or leave without it.

A person being housed in a hotel at no cost to himself is not “homeless.”

This is a preview of what the democrats would do if they had the chance. Create a massive, growing, permanent class of freeloaders who will NEVER become productive; tax the last cent out of the individuals who actually work productively, and whose money is taken to pay for the hotels.

They really would do this. di blobio is more communist than Maduro.

I’ve had the pleasure of being insulted and demeaned by pompous New York City liberals in the past. Well guys - this is what you voted for, enjoy it.

I just wish we could fence this zoo in and prevent all those wealthy Progressive a-holes from moving out and spreading their dangerous ideological filth throughout the nation.

If De Blasio and Como wanted to kill NYC, if that was their goal, they could hardly do better than they have in the last eight months. And these people have so little self-awareness they call Trump incompetent!

Acquaintance of mine makes his living buying old run-down houses and renting to "Section 8" tenants.
Some would say he provides a needed service to distressed families.
Others would call him a slumlord.
He makes a pretty good living, and HIS house is new.

“Has it occurred to this fool that there is only so much money in the world, especially when he’s chasing all of the taxpayers out of NYC”?

He doesn’t care. Besides, his friends will be the sellers. His friends will make millions and he’ll receive a nice cut from each sale.

You say 175 per night, but after all the kickbacks, it’s a lot less.

In the 2013 municipal election only 27% of the registered electorate voted.

New Yorkers entered voting booths and cast ballots for this guy. They are as much to blame as he is - enjoy the reward for stupidity.

Dear NYC, This what happens when you elect a Communist to be mayor of your city. Take notes for future reference.
