Thread 41551937

But Trumpies and their AIPAC Zionists told me he is a Jihadi Islamist who works for Al-Qaeda and he personally wants to throw every single gay person off the roof :(

that must be an outerborough gaybar, I don't recognize it

he's not but he cares about his tribe so if muslims become emboldened he will let them off the hook

>>41551937 (OP)
NYC is an insane place. this guy is running against Cuomo (known Israeli shill, racist, sex pest) Eric Adams (white collar criminal, living caricature of a corrupt politician) and Sliwa (guy who just wants to make roving gangs to beat up suspected criminals in the streets) and somehow MAMDANI is the controversial candidate for wanting to implement a bare minimum of "socialist" policies. oh and for being Indian and a Muslim.

>>41553463
It's an established rule of NYC that their mayor sucks, which is why Mamdani's competition is as dogshit as it is. New Yorkers hate Cuomo which is why I see zero way he realistically wins without a fuck ton of out-of-state money pouring in for him

>>41553463
shut up crakkka adams is the best mayor nyc has had

>>41551937 (OP)
I just think Memedani is just a silly goose with bad policies for NYC, but also I'm not a trumple so I guess I ain't the nigga you callin out here.

>>41553463
>a bare minimum of "socialist" policies
What are some of his policies?

The only one I am really aware of is the disastrous rent control policy.

>>41553905
that's like winning the special olympics

>>41553946
Rent control is a stupid policy but NYC has had rent control for a long time so it's business as usual.

>>41554992
>it's business as usual
Should business not change if "business as usual" means rent prices increasing faster than inflation from artificially reduced supply?

There are what, like 1 million apartment units that are currently unrented because they are uninhabitable and it's not possible to renovate them at the price they are arbitrarily set to?

Seems like only a silly person would support this policy.

>>41555152
ok man side with israel we get it

>>41555170
Who gives a fuck about israel? This is a mayoral race, not presidential election.

>>41551937 (OP)
All politicians do things like this to pander to their identity politics obsessed emotionbrained base. Zohran won't do shit once he's in office.

>>41555214
He will make the city even more unlivable and all the retards who voted for him will move to Jersey and make it even more impossible to live here

>>41553463
It's entirely because of the pro israel people, mamdani committed the mortal sin of suggesting that the IDF isn't the actual physical incarnation of god's will and the israel crowd went bananas, it's impossible to understate how fanatical these people are that they will support the most evil and crazy candidates as long as they pledge unwavering allegiance to netanyahu

>>41555170
>See's valid argument
>Gets angry
>"Hurr Hurr. You are a Jew!!!"

>>41555272
oomf go vote for the rapist guy dont talk to me i dont even live in america

>>41551937 (OP)
I actually truly and honestly believe that Mamdani SHOULD be elected and encouraged to push his Socialist agenda.
Pro's: People will learn more about Socialism when they are living in the barren wasteland, killing stray animals for food whilst the rich flee and businesses stop doing any business in NY.
Con's: Somebody's gonna have to go clean up all the bodies in a few years.

Mamdani is a jeet who hates white people and is promising free shit like politicians do to get votes in the third world

>>41555283
Me neither.
I just pointed out your complete and utter brain rot to the point that you can't complete a single thought in your head without criticising THE JOOOOOS.
Even when the conversation at hand has nothing to do with them.

>>41555344
man its not the jews its literally just like 4 of them

>>41554992
rent control isn't really a thing anymore, it's rent stabilization which is a much more mild form of price controls. rent control is like 3 octogenarians on the upper east side who have paid $150 a month since 1975 because the price was literally locked in at that rate forever, rent stabilization means annual increases are limited so that demand shocks like a famous company building a HQ in the neighborhood don't result in thousands of people thrown out onto the street because a landlord wants to triple the rent overnight

it's still "market based" but the pricing is mapped to a city-wide supply and demand analysis, which is reviewed annually, whereas without rent stabilization, you get these speculative rent spikes in certain neighborhoods that, from a certain viewpoint, are more harmful than beneficial overall

>>41555351
Was this not you?
>>41555170
>ok man side with israel we get it

There are more than 4 Jews in Israel.

>>41555394
>rent stabilization means annual increases are limited
>it's still "market based"
No, it isn't market based.
The city determines the rate in which it goes up, and they don't need to do a full financial investigation.

(Example) Result:
Increases locked at 1%
Inflation goes up 3%
City taxes go up 2%
Federal taxes go up 2%

If there was ANY benefit for landlords AT ALL, then why are a building owner and a bank in a legal battle in order to palm off a building to each other.
They aren't fighting to claim the building.
They are literally fighting to get rid of it.

>>41555455
market based does not mean "unrestricted free for all anything goes", it means market pressures are a factor, and regulatory pressures are also a factor. by definition, stakeholders are going to disagree on the best way to implement regulations, otherwise there would be no point in regulating anything because we all agree on all issues, right?

and I'm not even anti-landlord, I own property here, which I may be renting out in the future, but if someone built a big shiny down the block and suddenly the entire world wanted to live next to big shiny, I don't think it's so wrong for the government to say look, you can raise the rent, but here are the limits. obviously, if I can get 3x as much for the place, I'll try to do that, I've got to look after my own interests first, but morally, it's the right thing for the government to intervene in some situations

hes a communist
communists are man children under the age of 30

showing up at a gay bar?
im a white muslim transexual conservative
raise? stop playing identity politics. dudes got no idea how to capitalize a govt. in ny.

mohammed is a no bro

>>41555505
>which I may be renting out in the future
Hahaha.
You're doomed.
There is no "market" outside of the city council.
Perhaps you failed to read the post, but the council determines the rates.
Just a few retards sitting around a table.
And their soon-to-be mayor happens to live in a rent stabilised apartment.

>>41555567
like I said, I own property here. I don't need some troll from an overseas astroturf op telling me how this city works. and if you knew anything about this system, you would know that mamdani living in a rent stabilized unit isn't the gotcha that you think it is. locals understand why. I understand why. I won't bother explaining it to you, because you have no stake in this anyway.

>>41551937 (OP)
This guy seemed like a dipshit but still somehow infinitely better than the alternatives lol. Don’t get what the big deal is though for him to be talked about nationally. There have been way stupider politicians in more important positions.

Can you take a few mins to listen to this New Yorker and tell me where and how he is wrong?

>>41555775
>debate me debate me debate me
nah. like I said, you're not from here. you've probably never even set foot here. why do you even care? oh right, because you are paid to do this.

>>41555807
I never said debate.
I'm just wondering why there are such divided opinions amongst New Yorkers.
I'm willing to accept "Trust me bro" as your input though.

>>41556024
you're right, you gish galloping is not debate, it's just a gish gallop

I'm watching this thread in between a few other things and if you have a question that I find interesting, I might reply. but I'm not going to read stuff, or watch stuff, that you saved for later just because you're still catching up on NYC politics.

if you're asking why new yorkers have different opinions on rent stabilization, surprisingly the answer is that it's a complicated subject. some people have an issue with any regulations. some may be ok with regulation but think it should be done differently, or that the regulation is fine but the RGB made a mistake, or makes mistakes, and perhaps needs different people on it. some people are just uninformed and their opinion, whether pro or against, is based on vibes.

>>41556238
bro said "gish gallop" lmao

>>41556238
But what about the issue around the change in the system that meant that landlords could end up having to wait up to 30 years for a ROI after an extensive refurbishment?

>>41555621
All politicians are lying bastards so yes

>>41556313
I think that there are always going to be cases where a unit will have a high cost to renovate, this is understood when pricing the property. rent stabilized apartments are, for the most part, owned by large institutional investors. they know that the units are stabilized, they know there's a cap on rent hikes. and they still bought the property with the expectation of turning a profit. so I'm not swayed by rich landlords who own 10,000 apartments crying about how they can't fix the boiler because they didn't expect there to be a rent guidelines board, come on.

>>41556615
What about landlords that only have one and have the same limitations?
There is also a bit in there about tenant protections so that if a tenant stops paying rent, it could take absolutely ages to have them evicted.
All the while, your bills are still having to be paid.

>>41556668
individual landlords with one or two rent-stabilized units? that's vanishingly rare, but I suppose if there are any, I don't know, what about them? there already are a lot of carve outs on the tenant protection stuff, so the "freeloader renter" problem is much less likely. are you proposing that there ought to be a special provision where a landlord can jack up the rent more if they only own one unit and they paid for a new kitchen and bathroom? is it even possible to install a new kitchen and bathroom with someone living there?

these are reasonable questions but that's getting deep into the minutiae of small landlording, so I'm not sure now what the question is. are you asking if I think there are any issues at all with the government getting involved in markets? yes of course there always are, has anyone ever argued otherwise because that sounds like a lolbert strawman

>>41555621
He's such a queer advocate, why wouldn't you vote for him?

Good. They deserve to live with the consequences of their own thoughtless idol worship. I could care less about NYC personally.

>>41555394
This.
My boyfriend sold himself into sex slavery because of this shit.
His rent in Beverly hills was $1600 and with covid they bumped his tent to 3000
Now his rent would be 4300 when I checked yesterday

Shits beyond ridiculous

Sorry, I've made it a policy to never watch political youtube videos as they are for stupid people <3
