It’s appalling that both sides of the aisle in the legislature are opposing that plan which doesn’t even go far enough as it is. It’s shameful that we don’t build more. I’ll hold on to my sort of run down yet rent stabilized apartment as long as possible because lol not like in middle age w a good job I can afford a house without an inheritance at this point.

Haha yeah I have racist relatives from li who live in shitty towns full of republicans who say the same thing. “Our new neighbors are from Bangladesh, we are diverse too! Now don’t build apartments in our town!!! The poors shouldn’t be able to live here because my kid won’t be safe in little league!”

Pretty much every formerly working class white town on the south shore of LI sweet pea is filled with assholes like you. And many parts of queens and Brooklyn, including dyker heights.

Oh look a timely article the moron won’t read!

“Poverty persists in America because many of us benefit from it. We enjoy cheap goods and services and plump returns on our investments, even as they often require a kind of human sacrifice in the form of worker maltreatment. We defend lavish tax breaks that accrue to wealthy Americans, starving antipoverty initiatives. And we build and defend exclusive communities, shutting out the poor and forcing them to live in neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage”

“Fanatics” lol. You mean people who think more people should have a better shot at home ownership or affordable rent? Also not shocked at all your moms house sold for so much. People with generational wealth often like to protect it at all costs while denying the chance to build it for those they deem undeserving.

Oh honey. I grew up in a town a hop Skip and jump From Douglaston. My youth was spent dealing with whiny, sometimes hysterical, often overtly racist white people decrying the increasing diversity in the town, ie, the arrival of many more black and Latino people in their once comfortably majority white town. If you think some of these places aren’t bastions of racism I have a bridge to sell you.

People thinking $150k is a ton of money here is kinda funny. He could have a lot of debt, taxes take a huge chunk. I’m not saying cry me a river if I make around that but it is NOT like you are set for life if you make that salary here. Trust me. (I admittedly didn’t read this yet). $150k for a family of three is middle class here yes I’ve looked.

Lmao. Yes what 26 year old didn’t have (checks notes) multiple eviction proceedings against him at once, later running for congress and winning and railing against people who don’t work for a living.

Fyi I’ve been here a long ass time and I’ve never been evicted from anywhere but okay guy. It’s not merely the eviction history it’s the fucking hypocrisy. He’s a liar and a fraud with a trail of victims.
