Much of the reason for the opposition to de Blasio is that he seems to be a Communist which is why he defends the communist ideology.
In his State of the City address on Thursday, De Blasio announced that he wants to take action against landlords who try to force tenants out by making the property unlivable -- and pulled out an executive order to create a Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants [and give the government unfettered power.]
He said that in the event the government intervenes, the buildings would then be controlled by a “community nonprofit” which would then profit from the rents the city would then receive from the tenants.
“When a landlord tries to push out a tenant by making their home unlivable, a team of inspectors and law enforcement agents will be on the ground to stop it in time,” he said, reported the New York Daily News. “If the fines and the penalties don’t cut it, we will seize their buildings and we will put them in the hands of a community nonprofit that will treat tenants with the respect they deserve.”
According to the mayor's website, the city is “pursuing new local law to seize upwards of 40 of the most distressed multiple dwelling buildings annually and transition them to responsible, mission driven ownership.”
The city reportedly has gone easy on problem landlords in the past. The New York Times reported last year that officials have taken a "gentle hand with landlords who deprive tenants of basic services, declining to enforce the maximum penalties for even the worst offenders," detailing how "neglected repairs" end up forcing tenants out.
Republicans, though, were disturbed by the extent of de Blasio's plan and charged the idea was more suited to communist dictatorships where land and property seizures are the norm.
“My first reaction was: Is this communist Cuba?” state Assembly member Nicole Malliotakis, who ran against De Blasio in the 2017 mayoral race, told Fox News “ I can say that as a daughter of Cuban refugees who fled Castro’s Cuba in 1959, this is what happened to her family, she had her home taken, my grandfather had his gas station taken.”
“This is extreme even for Mayor de Blasio, because we know that he has socialist leanings, but this is straight communism and I think it’s very scary to America-loving, democracy-loving people.”
Malliotakis said the proposal was also hypocritical of the mayor, as she says the city runs some of the worst housing via the NYC Housing Authority. She also expressed some doubt as to how his plan to seize property would fare.
“Any attempt to seize property will face a court challenge and the mayor himself comes up with these ideas, throws stuff out there and doesn’t know how he intends to make it happen,” she said. “It’s all rhetoric.” [aka: bull crap]
The proposal is the latest big-government pitch from the mayor. Earlier this month, he announced plans to launch “the largest, most comprehensive plan in the nation” to guarantee health care coverage for all city residents, including those in the country illegally.” He plans to do it Robin Hood style--rob the rich and hand over their money to the poor, but call it taxes to make it sound kosher.
“Health care is a right, not a privilege reserved for those who can afford it,” de Blasio said in a statement, which did not explain why health care isn't in the U.S. Constitution as a right, and why it's not immoral to force physicians to provide health care at the point of a gun if they refuse. It sounds feasible that health care is a right, but it isn't. That is not to say that physicians would violate the Hippocratic oath to those in dire need.
In an interview with New York Magazine in 2017, de Blasio also expressed a desire for much more government control in development and rents, and cited a “socialist impulse.”
"I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be," he said, not actually having taken a poll to assert his claim.
"Look, if I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed. And there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents." Then he would have absolute power and the city would bow toward City Hall every day at noon.
On Sunday, he said in an interview that he wouldn’t rule out running for president in 2020, and urged the Democratic Party to take “bolder” positions similar to his own. I hope he gets the nomination--that would absolutely assure Trump's second term.
Will 2019 be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint? Let's hope so, because politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
