Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Thank you for your service 🫡
Aww shit. This is a thing now. Damn.
Wait.....cbs headlike 400k. Alternative link headline 200k.
......whaaaa???
There's already 200,000 and they want to add 200,000 more.
Ok, so then the CBS headline is just false.
Can't "plan" to build 200,000 houses, if they're already built.
Eh, they didn't say "plan to build 400,000 affordable housing units", they said "plan for 400,000 units". The plan involves building 200,000 units, and stabilizing 200,000 existing units. That's not really a false headline.
Fuck Batman, Mamdani is the hero Gotham needs.
... ok :(
Aww, now I feel like such a heel! 😄
What if we give you Tucson in stead? That should be about the amount of cursed you're used to 😉
Ok! :D :D
I'm sure with all the latent mental illness he'll be great in bed!
I dont like this reference, since two face said "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
and I dont want him to die...
Everybody dies
I'll believe that when I see it!
Hmm, good point 🤔
In the defense of Bruce/ Batman I'm pretty sure he would give up his wealth and hang up his cape if it would actually save Gotham. Problem is Gotham is quite literally cursed like on multiple levels, pretty sure a demon world from 40k is less cursed also it's in New Jersey which probably isn't helping the situation.
quite literally cursed like on multiple levels
Unfortunate.
also it's in New Jersey
I’m starting to understand why he won…
Somebody like this at the very top would be so … what’s the word of I’m looking for… refreshing.
b..b..but... socialism can never work? ^/s^
Socialism for the people can never work! Now for corporations... it's always viable! Bailouts for everyone!
Except in all those decent countries where is does work.
nu uh, it doesn't count, those countries either aren't really socialist, or it wouldn't work here because... draws card those countries have less heterogenous populations ^/s^
HOW is he Going to Pay for this Thought? ALL he's Done is get MILLIONS and MILLIONS of Dollars from Corporations!
HOW is he Going to Pay for this Thought?
Thoughts are for free.
No. Thought costs upbringing. If you're raised by a restrictive parent, you don't think for yourself.
If you're raised by a parent who's not afraid to let you fail for yourself, you get an oppertunity to think why you failed, and how to not fail next time.
For every critical thought you have, something in your past taught you to think.
Corporations need low income housing to hire talent into NY.
I think it’s interesting how housing makes it explicitly official that we have a two-class system. There’s “affordable” housing and “other” housing.
The first 100% of primary residence demand should never be anything other than affordable. Any other category of housing should only be tolerated in the stock beyond that threshold.
The normalisation of affordable housing as a legitimate concept is one of the most carcinogenic social infections.

Will he need to change any zoning laws in New York to do this?
I would think as mayor he would probably be the person in the best position to do such a thing.
From the Common Dreams website Zedstrian posted:
"It will also include modifications to the zoning code to create hundreds of housing co-ops."
