Zohran Mamdani Just Announced Plans to Begin Seizing and Redistributing Private Property


New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani kicked off his plan to “fix” the city’s affordability crisis with his official housing policy agenda, titled “Block by Block,” under which one of the first priorities is to allow the government to seize property from owners deemed “negligent” and redistribute it to so-called “responsible stewards,” a category that includes anyone from land trusts, nonprofits, or even tenants themselves.





"Through our new citywide campaign, Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City," Mamdani announced. "When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves."

Im confused as I presume most of these building are owned by individuals or couples and they have mortgages. So if Mandanis seizes, or tries to seize, these buildings isnt he taking something owned by a big bank?

That outdated document? Who needs it when you have some friendly judges? The grift can go on for quite a while in the time it takes to get to the Supreme Court, and by then the damage is already done.

Vote for a communist, expect them to try and implement communism.

The idiots of NYC deserve the bleakness headed their way.

I only regret that American taxpayers will likely be on the hook at some point down the road to ultimately bail out our nation’s largest city before letting it devolve completely into what it would become.

This is just rhetoric for his base. The US Constitution is just a wee bit more powerful than him.

I don't think communists are big on following rules, except for the ones that strictly benefit them of course.

Not one of those cheerleaders in the background are going to end up with property in their names. Just useful idiots

Property may be “neglected” right now, but this guarantees they’ll have to be demolished within three years.
