NYC rents set to rise as Mamdani eyes property tax hike

[Lockback]

I'm excited to see NYC residents get what they voted for.

However, leftists are easily duped and not good at learning historical lessons, obviously; so I think there's a strong possibility they get burned badly by this commie, then decide to elect another commie because he'll tell them that what Mamdani did wasn't "real communism".

They're dumb and easily swayed. They don't understand history at all.

The landlords of rental units CANNOT pass on the increases

This is by design and metastasized since 2019.

All in an effort to turn apartments into Public housing

This leads to a collapse in the real estate market leaving local banks holding 1 billion in mortgages. This creates a cascade of defaults bank failures because you cant raise taxes and at the same time block rent increases. Real estate values will drop maybe thats the plan. Then the city buys the buildings at low cost or takes over the mortgages.

The warmth of collectivism is about to bring new pain to NYC renters (many of whom probably voted for Mamdani ).

Can one of the lefties here help me with this? I don't understand commie logic: does he think he can raise property taxes, and landlords will just take it in the ass, instead of passing it on to their tenants? Is he really that dumb? Or does he just know his supporters are that dumb, and won't ask the question?

Is it both?

Economics and the history of failure of socialism should be required curriculum for all students to keep them from repeating mistakes of the past. We know by now there is ONE way to run an economy. The conservative way. The way that works. This should be common teaching and standard practice just like the mathematical and physical principles of building bridges.

Promises made, and promises kept.

CA has been doing this for well over 20 years and there is no sign that the voters there are getting pissed at all the empty promises and corruption going on, but the bigger businesses are.

Which goes to prove that humans will squash the golden goose when things get good enough to a certain point putting real problems in the background while following their self-proclaim godlike ways of utopian existence.

^^^Another uneducated commie who thinks the landlords will be good comrades and just eat the rent increases.

Also, if you think he won't raise property taxes, we can add historical illiteracy to your long list of intellectual disabilities.

Another liar who says the proposal was passed into law.

It’s just a proposal. Therefore, you lied about announcing that the rent is “set to rise”

Like the true commie you are, you have to take everything out of context
to make your point.
You left out:

"as Mamdani eyes property tax hike"​

Idiot

The dumocrap party owns the education system. Math, physics and economics are nowhere near as important as Gender Theory and Anti-Americanism.
