Who Supports Mamdani?

I don't think we should have billionaires

--Zohran Mamdani

Well then I guess he believes these companies, the eight largest by market cap in the USA, shouldn't exist, because they were all founded by billionaires.

Apple
Microsoft
Google
Amazon
Meta
Broadcom

Dumb ass.

What is the value of the property?

Is the buyer getting a mortgage from the bank or paying all cash? If the buyer is getting a mortgage from a bank then the bank appraisal will determine the value of the property. A bank is not going to give out a mortgage for $200,000 if the bank appraiser comes back and says the property is only worth $150,000.

Regardless of free market, supply and demand dynamics. NYC has an affordability issue. That is why the democratic socialist won the election for Mayor. You could take all of Sliwa's votes and all of Adam's votes and add them to Cuomo's votes and Mumdani still would have won.

I will change my original question. If you could afford to pay $3,700 for a one bedroom apartment with 600 Sq Feet on the upper east side of New York City (Manhattan Burrow), would you submit an application? I would not. I would want more space for $3,700 per month.

Those Amazon thinking caps you mentioned you might want to consider getting a couple for yourself instead of recommending them for someone else.

Geez.
No New Yorkers here have commented. Just one that has been far removed.

Guess this is a new breed of person for the maggies to hate since Da Z didn't have support of the big libbys or any maggies.

Maybe this will focus the attention of the above off each other and on this new up and comer.

As I understand the Fishy-Tishy math; it don't much matter if a loan is involved.

Which would result in the buyer reducing their offer to probably $125K. That is what actually happens in the real world.

"Regardless" is not an option in Capitalism reality.

That's issues, plural.

You’d better thank your lucky stars you’re from Texas, friend.

Who Supports Mamdani?

Guess we will know soon enough, both the Who and the How Much as he pan handles his way on to a vaca.

Mamdani Wants More Money Less Than 24 Hours After Getting Elected

...“Remember how I told you a few months ago to stop sending us money? You can start again,” Mamdani said. “This transition requires staff, research, and an infrastructure that can meet this moment. And it will be made possible by the people who built and believe in this movement. So I hope you’ll make a donation at transition2025.com.”...

Mamdani campaigned on a left-wing platform, promising to freeze rent for all stabilized tenants, make buses “fast and free,” provide taxpayer-funded childcare for every New Yorker from six weeks to five years old, build a network of city-run grocery stores, and raise taxes on corporations and high earners, according to his campaign site...

The problem adav8s28 is that Mamdani is too young, uneducated, dogmatic, and arrogant to realize his solution for the problem has already been tried and failed. New York City's had rent control forever and it's been a disaster.

He should take a field trip to Bangkok and see how they do things there. They have multistory, multifamily buildings close to mass transit. A developer can go from groundbreaking to completion of a 30 story condo building in a little over a year. There's a lot of competition among developers and contractors, keeping prices low. The permitting is much easier and the bureaucracy works with developers instead of trying to prevent them from building. The city helps free up land for development. You don't have the mob and unions running up prices hugely.

If New York City did something similar, you'd see a lot of additional housing, close to mass transit in the outer boroughs as well as in new high rises closer in. Instead of paying $3700 a month in rent for a rat trap in Manhattan, you'd have people living in places like Queens or less developed parts of Brooklyn, paying $2500 a month mortgages with decent living space.

Admittedly though, then if you tackle the deficiencies in mass transit, to transport people to where they work, you're faced with the highest infrastructure costs in the world. It costs $4 billion for a one mile extension to the subway system. Well, tackle that like the affordable housing, with free market solutions. Yes Yssup, tackle it like Texas would, not New York.

Zowee!

Zohran's Daddy is a real piece of work. You gotta read this to believe it. The guy openly LOATHES the USA. And yet, he teaches Anthropology, Poly Sci and African Studies at Columbia U. Pretty scary.

He is on record as saying Abe Lincoln inspired the Nazis to commit genocide. He tells us Britain (whose citizens endured Hitler's bombing blitz) has a "Nazi streak". He claims Ronald Reagan embraced terrorism, and Teddy Roosevelt was a white supremacist warmonger. He blames 9/11 on "American jihad". All the while he defends Idi Amin's ethnic cleansing in Uganda, a campaign that slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, complaining that comparisons of Amin to Hitler are "a media-driven preconception".

You can't make this stuff up!

And I haven't even mentioned the Marxist tripe yet...

Good thing his father isn't running for office.

Mamdami owns the MAGAs and he isn't even in office yet. And none of y'all live or vote there. And he can't do anything to destroy your way of life.

Pretty goddamned funny.

Rent free.

I tell you, he's gonna be the lighting rod all parties will vent on. And it is gonna be beyond the Big Apple as it's being demonstrated here.

[Lucas McCain]

If you say the same bullshit enough, people will believe it is Trump's motto. Mamdani just took a play out of the Trump playbook. I don't know what the fuck you MAGAs are crying about. That is winning! Don't hate the guy for copying your master's ability to get votes from morons!

Absolutely correct. Mamdani is going to be the centerpiece of the republican attack agenda for the foreseeable future.
