Mamdani explains how to solve the housing crisis. Video from 2021

Zorhan Mamdani calls for seizing private housing and converting it to state-run social housing while liberals cheer him on. pic.twitter.com/0bMIt2gFPX

To go further toward the Vienna model, we have to go beyond the market. We can establish community land trusts to gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert it to community ownership. We can give tenants a right of first refusal to buy out their landlords when buildings go up for sale. And we can fully commit to a new era of social housing, ending subsidies for luxury housing development and using our wealth to build beautiful, high-quality social housing projects that offer good homes and strong communities to everyone. We won’t decommodify housing overnight, but we know what we have to.

When as mayor he starts buying up private housing, he will obviously not allow inbestments in real estate.
Communism doesn't get better. Housing controlled by the govt.
Letitia James who chets on her mortgage refinance to be the overseer.
Not forgetting he is proposing a 4 year rent freeze. This will definitely kill and bury investments.

And how do you access good health care without money?

How do you access good education without money?

Chief2410:
You don hear the statement "No money,no friend"?Do you think the person that said that is stupid? The people you call friends are there because there is something they benefit from you,it might not be money but there is something keeping them around. love is an illusion.what you call love is fleeting emotion that fades with time so it's not worth banking on.

gentlegenius:
Can't money bring almost everything you listed here?
Think again.
WHEN A MAN CLAIMS THAT MONEY DOESN'T BUY HAPPINESS, IT IS EITHER HE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH OR HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO SHOP.
Stop believing that lie. Money is everything especially in today's Nigeria.

Our poor parent who couldn't explain to us why they gave birth to us in poverty, had to tell us that lie in order to maintain their sanity. But must we tell same lie to our children if we really want them to grow and become rich? Absolutely NO!
IF YOUR CHILDREN EVER ASK YOU WHY YOU ARE NOT RICH, TELL THEM IT'S BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS LIED TO YOU THAT MONEY ISN'T IMPORTANT, BUT YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LIE TO THEM. TELL THEM THE TRUTH AND SEE HOW THAT SHAPE THEIR MINDS FOR WEALTH.

Chief2410:
money gives almost everything you listed. Just dey play

If it were up to me, people who intend to be parents will sit a test to qualify just as they must pass a test for a driving license. But since its not up to me, I'm glad to live in a country that cares for it's vulnerables.

cococandy:
Maybe UK but in America dem plenty. And the funny thing the greatest population of poor people exists in counties in that vehemently oppose helping the poor and they keep voting policies that keep them in poverty.

Not to say poor people are all responsible for their poverty.

AmazonTopaz:
It's very important to have an informed opinion.

Anyway, no need wasting your benefit of the doubt they don't deserve it and they are going to disappoint you.

cococandy:
Someone that waits to understand what’s happening before they get loud and vitriolic. Refreshing and of course not surprising coming from you .

That’s something maga would never do. They don’t even have enough presence of mind not to comment on things they don’t understand.

Yet we share a country with them.

AmazonTopaz:
I don't think I have typed this long in a while. But please read it, it would be worth your while. Magnolia and folake4u, maeve7, please you all should read this. Thank you.

GloriousGbola:

cococandy:
He’s embarrassed now so he’s gone to get his other account to start posting as if he didn’t just make a fool of himself. Showing his ignorant arse to the public
🫢.

AND WAT IS YOUR POINT PRECISELY?


RUSSIA SHOULD CONGRATULATE AMERICA FOR ATTACKING THEIR ALLY?


I THANK GOD, PEOPLE WITH BRAINS ARE NOW IN CHARGE OF AMERICA.


NOTICE TRUMP MADE SURE NOT TO KILL A SINGLE IRANIAN SOLDIER OR CIVILIAN.

armyofone:
Cococandy thank you, I just want Monday to pass go

!

legitnow1:
Mama Felicia, Monday


It is Monday

A40:
You sound Hella confused man. So you agree he's not his puppet and can go against his interests whether Putin can defend Iran or not

A40:
But there he is boldly attacking one of their allies. I thought y'all said he's a puppet of Putin.

So what changed? You people have to pick a struggle

A40:
On this we agree. Iran fvck up should have been treated long time ago. We have the clueless Mr Peanut farmer to thank for that. His actions and inactions is how Iran became Mullah'd in the first place

A40:
Naah I will ask you people simping for the Mullahs if you will like to relocate to these countries.

Even if they are eliminated as a regional threat and #1 sponsor of terrorism that's good enough

Those ME nations cannot function as a democracy . They need dictatorship.
Save for Israel the rest are just royalties and dictatorships.
They can't manage peaceful transfer of power.
Iran has constitutional elections, every candidate must be on Khamenei good books. If they get rid of the Ayatollahs influence It could be as well iff as Israel , stop sponsoring those terrorists it exporting their Shia doctrine.

What mess. The Arab spring was meant to bring democracy to a people who don't know what to do with it.
He started with an apology tour to Egypt. He invited members of the Muslim Brotherhood to the front seat to the chagrin of Mubarak who knew the MB is nothing but jihadist and terrorist backers. He forced out Mubarak and replaced him with Morsi. Morsi wanted to turn Egypt into an Islamic State but was overthrown by El Sisi. Egypt has known peace and systematic progress in all areas under Sisi.
Obama Arab initiative turned him to Libya. We all know Libya doesn't exist as a country now and 4 lives were lost in Benghazi terrorist attack that was blamed on a YouTube video noone had watched.
Then he turned to Syria. Removing Assad by arming and supporting moderates who were really Al Qaeda and later ISIS. We all know how that played out.
Next he creates some stupid Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan where iSAF couldn't kill suspected terrorists until they were fired upon first. Ditto Syria.Lots of troops lost .
Trump did short work of Obama "JV" team ISIS eliminating the Caliphate, it's leader and Iranian Solemani Ali who was behind many terror attacks globally.




Bush caused all this?
