New New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani went full communist in his inauguration speech, saying that his administration would "replace rugged individualism with collectivism." (Those of you who've been paying attention will recognize "rugged individualism" as a characteristic of "whiteness.") Mamdani also had a message to all of the property owners in the city who have tenants. I you don't responsibly steward your rental property, the city government will step in (to cheers from morons).

Who determines responsible stewardship?

What about when the renters are not good stewards of the landlord's property?

What does step in mean?

Cool, what about slum-tenants?
— Mr. (N)IceMan (@LVRaiderTickets) January 1, 2026
So, as a renter, people can trash the place, put holes in the walls, pull copper piping, and be a liability without thought, while the landlord is obligated to fix the mess they made. Where is the line drawn between landlord and tenant responsibilities?

Aka, the city will demand they spend money they don’t have to fix up a place they can’t raise the rent for and will eventually lose their income/property to the government.

This is a scam on a very large scale.

Let's just say for the sake of argument that the city government is your landlord, what then?

Yes, this is the way Mamdani, make it so that people don't want to invest money in the city. This will go well, look at how Detroit is doin......oh wait never mind, don't look over there 😏

These buildings will be owned by the city in no time. Most of these families will probably lose their homes.

Simps fall for this stuff, that’s the terrifying part.

His voters, who were most likely newcomers to the city who live in rental properties, fell for this stuff and elected him. Now they're going to find out.
