The radical leftist takeover of New York City is officially accelerating into full-blown Venezuelan-style authoritarianism.
Far-left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani dropped all pretense of defending American property rights, openly admitting that his administration intends to target private property owners, strip them of their buildings, and hand the keys over to shady left-wing non-profits, community land trusts, and tenants.
Mamdani, a card-carrying democratic socialist who took power in January, made the shocking admission while outlining his latest radical housing agenda.Under the guise of targeting “bad landlords” and “chronic neglect,” the city plans to deploy a weaponized regulatory apparatus to orchestrate massive wealth redistribution across the five boroughs.
Mamdani said, “Through our new citywide campaign,Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City. When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards—including community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.”
NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits.
