What I find hilarious is how this *will* only turn out to hurt the people it purports to help, the voters supporting Mamdani, when landlords take their properties off the market, evicting tenants because of safety issues that bribed city inspectors find.
"Sorry. It's for your safety."
Which will lead to the smart owners "reluctantly" keeping those structures in repair until Mamdani eventually flees the country. 😉
...and there went any remaining incentive for owners of already marginal properties to put another dime into maintenance and repair, let alone upgrades.
Knowing something of NYC, some of the worst run housing - the projects- under the the City housing authority are of course terrible. City can't run its own, so it should run everybody elses.
A good measure of effectiveness for grading Mayor Mandami's housing policy agenda would be to document the incidence of tenants pissing in the elevators and pooping in the hallways. You could send around inspectors with clipboards and vibram sole boots. By smell and the detritus accumulated in the lugs of the boot soles you'd be able to scientifically determine if Mandami's initiatives were working or just crap.
