Mamdani isn't really Left! He hasn't disbanded the NYPD yet!

Move over trickle-down economics, it’s time for piñata economics

And all the shit is getting fixed, right? Right?

Some important reasons for the missing back rent:

Many tenants began withholding rent because they had been dealing for years with unsafe conditions, while others fell behind because they could not afford their monthly payments, according to the tenant union. They may now get a blank slate.

Kuo said tenants dealt with a range of problems in their buildings including caved-in ceilings, heat outages and, at times, darkened hallways after Con Edison cut the common area electricity due to the landlord’s unpaid bills.

Fuck these people. They have to be forced to do the right thing. We should be voting to tax the wealth of these fucks.

One guy owns enough dwelling for 5000 people.

A landlord with 5100 units? Yikes

i love how much he's been able to do with housing; now just keep holding his feet to the fire to also not turn his back on trans kids by caving to the federal governments threats too.

Don't fuck with Zohran the Destroyer!

The company Summit Properties purchased the 93-building [rent-stabilized] portfolio in March after its previous owner Pinnacle Group went bankrupt

A surprising amount of people don’t realize that the most prevalent landlords by ownership are companies

Yeaaaaahhhhhh... unfortunately anything less than "Mamdani publicly executes Slumlord exploiting tenants for profit to set example to others" is not uplifting news, just more Hurray for Minor Inconveniencing the Orphan Crushing Machine

In my view, the scenario shouldn’t even be able to arise where that is possible.

That landlord is managing as many households as a medieval noble, without any of the associated social responsibilities.

Say about Mamdani what you will. But he gets shit done. That's not his first win and more will follow I bet.

Imagine all politicians would only be half like that....

It's almost like all the modern problems in society are manufactured, hmm...

Many other owners of rent-stabilized housing across New York City are stuck with onerous debt after they took out hefty loans to purchase buildings, lift apartments out of the rent-stabilization system and raise rents. New tenant protections laws made many of those tactics illegal in 2019, upending their business model.

That’s a friendly way to describe a set of practices that are predatory and toxic to both society at large and the neighborhoods these lowlifes operate in.

no single landlord should have control over that many units

No one should own more than their own home. Fucking scumbag leech.

Getting shit done for the people. What a bastard.
