Yeah.....

De Blasio said if the building owners do not change their places to reduce emissions by 2030, they will be fined. For the biggest buildings in the city, they could face fines of up to $1 million or more.

We are going to ban the classic glass and steel skyscrapers which are incredibly inefficient,” he added.

Yeah I read the article. He’s implementing the Green New Deal.

Good for him. Let’s see how it works.

Good, The Amalgamated Union of Pyramid Workers, the AUPW, could use the work.

Banning airplanes is part of the Green New Deal too.

He makes a wrong move towards Lagaurdia, JFK or Newark, his arse is grass and there's quite a few lawnmowers headed towards his way.

You'd think with all their trendy marketing gimmicks that their lemmings eat up, they'd be smart enough to make nuclear a thing again.

The socialist has created a new nipple to latch onto, that can't move away or otherwise escape. Nicely done!

Apparently they want to live in a straw hut waiting for a government cart to come by and deliver foodstuffs to them

New York is a convenient place to do business.

But that doesn’t mean industries will chose to locate there forever.

Dudes actively attempting to kill one of the greatest urban centers of mankind and the loons that live there trip over themselves to support him. Liberals are a special type of degenerate for sure. They are willing to destroy themselves in support of an agenda that does zilch to help them.

The choice is, pay the ransom, or demolish your ultra-expensive revenue generator. Deblasio doesn't give a shite about the climate. Pay him and I guarantee you won't hear another peep. His version of Gore's carbon credits, is Manhattan's skyscrapers.

If he says something about proper technique for spiking a groundhog I'll listen but no way am I taking his word for anything regarding construction or building life and efficiency.

I mean, if you want to lose your guaranteed blind union votes, this is a pretty quick way to do it

You realize space is a premium in New York even with the vertical advantage of skyscrapers? What do you think the cost per square foot will be in NYC when every building is single story?


I think you read too far into his post. He thinks the world would be better without humans. I know I'd enjoy the scenery a lot more if I never existed.

They'll rent control it so it's affordable to everyone.

The Port Authority would laugh long and hard at any attempt like that, then go right back to work as if nothing ever happened.
