New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a new “block by block” initiative to tackle the city’s affordable housing crisis Tuesday morning.
The plan focuses on 400,000 affordable housing units, enhancing tenant protections and investing in public housing. Some 200,000 of those units will be new, rent-stabilized homes built over the next decade, as well as preserving and stabilizing an additional 200,000 homes.
People like you spend the whole time boo-hooing the people actually doing the work to create change. Nothing you said here is anything useful. It’s not constructive criticism of any of the actual policy. You have spent the last two comments talking about stuff that is irrelevant, addressed in my initial comment, or addressed in Mamdani’s video.
Now you are essentially just saying “it’s hard”. Yes. It’s hard. It doesn’t get easier by you offering zero constructive criticism. You’re essentially just listing reasons for “why we shouldn’t even try”.
You may think you’re in favor of affordable housing. And maybe you are on principle. But you’ve spent this whole thread basically repeating excuses that politicians have fed you for decades for why good things are not possible. You need to change your mindset mate.
