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.
Yes. You’ll wait and in the mean time be an unhelpful doomer. Nothing you’ve said has been about the policy. You attempted to do that with your construction company point and then looked silly. So you just keep talking in a general tone. That’s what stupid people do when they want to appear smart. It’s ok to not understand something. But don’t double down when it becomes clear you don’t have any idea in which ways “it’s complicated”
When you spend your replies and time listing reasons for why something is “so complicated” and “it’s not that easy”. This is what you are doing. Whether you state it explicitly or not.
You are being a doomer towards the movement while still “supporting it in theory”. It’s a safe space where you can stay.
So if it fails you say: “see, I told you it’s complicated”
Or if its successful you say: “I supported this!”
It’s painfully obvious from your lack of substance in your replies and your lack of any specific policy position.
Well, I think you look silly getting mad about some commends on lemmy. Like my skepticism is going to derail Mamdani’s plans. Like I’m part of his administration and instead of helping him create policy I’m just complaining. Meanwhile I don’t even live in US and I don’t really care what happens in NYC. And I prefer to be realistic than blindly cheer everything Mamdani says. But you do you.
Cool. You have devolved into the “this conversation is meaningless because it’s on the Internet” defense. I’m annoying. I’m gonna combat this bull shit doomerism if I have 1000 people listening or 1. You’re the one that keeps replying.
You got here because instead of talking about any of the actual material policy objectives, or legitimate criticism, you just blabbered vague doomerism around a good policy being implemented.
When you get called out for it, and it’s made clear you don’t even know the first thing about what you’re critizing, of course you fall into the “I don’t care” shit reply. Stop replying if you don’t care.
If you care enough to reply then actually criticize the policy on its actual implementations.
Hard to criticize a policy that’s not even there. So far we know they want to build 200k units. How? Where? We know it’s “over the next decade” but mayor’s term is 4 years so it’s already assuming Mamdani will win govern at least 3 terms. A policy would be for example saying how they will make building housing more affordable to co-ops than it is for investment founds. And I’m replying because you’re combative stance is amusing. You expect me to draft valid policy for Mamdani while coming up with 0 valid arguments yourself. You just said that building housing units it easy and that I should be happy they will do it. You’re trying to talk like you’re some expert but you just sound like delusional fan. “Don’t you dare doubt Mamdani! I will fight you!”.
Just because you don’t know the answer to these questions doesn’t mean there aren’t answers. You’re literally asking questions that are answered in the original article. Can you stop embarrassing yourself?
Seriously. Do this. Write down your questions above on paper. Then, read the article and see how many questions you can answer from READING. If you do that and show me your homework I’ll fill in anything you missed or wasn’t answered. But you really need to show me some effort first. You’re acting like a child that can’t write a book report.
Also, policy plans don’t suddenly explode and end when a Mayor leaves office. The city makes contracts and agreements that is has to uphold.
This isn’t even about Mamdani at this point. This is me being amazed at how much effort you put into literally not understanding something.
