This socialist failed miserably at capitalism.
NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams recently lost a two-family home he owned in Brooklyn to Bank of America after racking up nearly $1 million in debt over 15 years by refusing to pay his mortgage, The Post has learned.
He took the loan on the property to help bankroll a business venture that capsized.
A state judge in January sided with the bank by issuing a “final judgment of foreclosure” on the deadbeat’s property at 1392 E. 98th St. in Canarsie. Williams failed to make payments on a $389,600 mortgage he took out on the house in 2006 to finance a vegan sandwich shop in Park Slope, court records show.
Councilman Robert Holden, a moderate Queens Democrat and longtime Williams critic, said the public advocate’s inability to pay his debts speaks volumes.
“Jumaane Williams has been paid a six-figure taxpayer-funded salary for years, yet he still couldn’t pay his bills or keep his home,” he said. “Like many in government, he can’t even manage his own life — so why should anyone trust him to manage the people’s business?”
Williams and his mother purchased the home in 2005 for $370,500, according to records. He secured full ownership of the property a year later.

"$389,600 mortgage he took out on the house in 2006 to finance a vegan sandwich shop in Park Slope"
Almost like Guam.
WTH is a public advocate?!
” finance a vegan sandwich shop in Park Slope”
I bet there is an interesting story behind this one.
Give the guy a break.....the bribes never came through.
“WTH is a public advocate?!”
***The New York City Public Advocate, a citywide elected official and the first in line to succeed the mayor, receives an annual salary of $184,800 as of 2024***
And this vegan clown has a lobbyist wife raking it in. So do the math on these tofu parasites.
The Public Advocate himself doesn’t live anywhere near his Canarsie property. Instead, he has taken up residence with his lobbyist wife and stepdaughter in a townhouse at the Fort Hamilton US Army Garrison in Bay Ridge.

NYC city hasn’t had a mayor that gave 2 sh—- about anyone but themselves or understood jack about finances since Rudy. Why start now?
GOOD!!!
“WTH is a public advocate?!”
In democrat areas it’s an employment/scam operation enabling unemployable dem activists a source of income from public funds for doing little or nothing to earn it.
$1 million in debt over 15 years by refusing to pay his mortgage,
______________________
It took them 15 years! to foreclose on him?!
He must got a very special treatment.
I hope the Advocate learns from this experience.
OMG!!!! He’s BLACK!!! I thought that was a GERMAN name!!
“WTH is a public advocate?!”
It’s a highly skilled, well indoctrinated colored person, on the public dole, raised from birth to see racism in every aspect & occurrence in/of life, and whine publicly about it 24 hours a day, while not paying their mortgage, apparently.
Call me cynical but I think the bank was letting him get away with it because they thought he was going somewhere and they could get their back scratched later with that string. Seems like the determine he has no future worth investing in.
Thanks for posting. Sheesh.
” Beyond Williams, other prominent New Yorkers like local judges and doctors live on the base.”
Isn’t that sweet.
I was about to post this after reading the whole article......how is this deadbeat not in jail?
What a POS. SMH
This guy is nothing but a grifter that needs to be thoroughly investigated but being it’s nyc I’m sure he’ll just walk away from it all without a scratch.
