Ranked-choice voting plus public financing is a politician's dream. Look at the nonsense we experienced in NYC. Over $55 million on campaigns that ultimately had single-digit returns.

Candidates can use taxpayer-funded campaign dollars while openly conspiring with other campaigns: "Vote for me first, vote for my ally second."

They coordinate GOTV efforts, cross-endorse one another, and build political alliances funded in part by the public.

We're told this is good for democracy. Who thought this was a good idea? Just open primaries, that would be great for democracy.

@barrymosk @nycDSA @GovKathyHochul @NYCMayor Don't tag Mamdani. He's a dyed in the wool anti-American DSAer. Hochul & the rest of the NY Democratic Party establishment need to answer with a counter-revolution.

Platner's most fervent supporters are gambling that the number of men sick-and-tired of women's belly-aching is greater than the number of women who will identify Platner with the abusers in their own lives. Seems a long-odds bet. https://t.co/3inOrH7M05

Great advice Sal about the NYCPD. But it’s hard to help the rookie when he is not keeping his word with politicos that he’ll need favors from. And gratuitously insults puertorriqueños 🇵🇷and Jews and yet wants to be respected as the first Muslim mayor.

We know it takes three to four years, minimum, to build a mixed-income affordable housing building in NYC, using tax credits and high market-rate rents to subsidize the low ones. Scaling that costs tens of billions.

Meanwhile, there are 57,000 vacant rent-stabilized apartments. Most housed the last generation of tenants for decades at rents so low they no longer cover the cost to operate, and many now need a gut renovation to be livable for another few decades.

The owners of these buildings aren’t asking for tax credits to build. They aren’t asking for market rents to offset the vacancies. They aren’t asking for a direct government payout to cover the cost of operating and renovating the unit. Nor are they asking to deregulate the unit from rent stabilization.

They’re asking for one thing: when a tenant moves out, the ability to offer the next tenant a starting rent closer to the real cost of renovating and running the apartment.

And the response is… that’s greed?

The city and the government don’t own this housing. The owners do. They’re offering to cooperate on a problem that hurts both sides, and the answer is you should go bankrupt?

Where are the adults in the room who can do the math?

🚨 NYC SOCIALIST WANTS $100 BILLION IN NEW TAXES AND SPENDING

Zohran Mamdani went on CNN and laid out his big plan to “solve” New York’s cost of living crisis.

His solution? Build 200k new “affordable” units, preserve another 200k, and dump billions more into public housing.

The price tag? Up to $100 billion over the next decade. This is the same city where it already costs over $106,000 a year for a couple with no kids just to exist.

Somehow, his answer is still MORE government housing, MORE taxes on the people who actually pay for things, and MORE debt.

The people who made New York the MOST EXPENSIVE city in America are now promising to fix it by doing the exact same thing, just bigger.

NYC is f*cked.
