Yeah. Time for the Jews to flee to the suburbs. And if I was invested in NYC real estate right now, I wouldnt be able to sell fast enough.

Having only seen part of one debate, he seemed objectively less trash than the others on stage. It's NYC. It can't get worse. Just more news worthy.

It can absolutely get worse. NYC still has pretty low violent crime and a shitload of wealthy people propping up the tax base.

Just wait until the Jew-hating socialist starts fucking shit up. Florida must be furiously masturbating to the thought of all of the corporate relocations coming their way.

This guy has literally said "queer liberation means defund the police." Rofl

Its a little too easy for corps to relocate 14 minutes and be in a different state on the same train system so i suspect the real winners will be white plains and jersey city and stamford. Though all those states suck too so a sane company should move to boise and get it over with.

Also arnt all the jews are allready in the burbs. Jews have $$.

He wants $30 hour minimum wage, city owned grocery stores, no guns allowed, no prisons, no cash bail, fewer police, free child care always, rent control, increases on income tax and business taxes and schools converted to green.

The Washington Post has a headline (couldn't read the article) saying his win is a blueprint for the Democratic party going forward.

NYC has become a haven for rich assholes. If you make under $250K/year your a peasant.

He proposing five city owned grocery stores and faster buses. Also wants a rent freeze on already rent controlled apartments.

City owned grocery stores is the dumbest fucking idea.

While I understand the market situation is different in the states, there is just no place for publically owned or operated super markets.

Margins are absolutely terrible, and are offset by big ticket items that this is specifically designed to avoid.

The alternative is a circular kickback scheme enjoyed by larger retailers, which only pays off by virtual of scale. Five stores in the same area is not scaling for kickback deals.

So these stores have no path to profitability to begin with - and turn you can compound municipal / union wages to the problem.

So these are going to be (by default) poorly managed stores w/o the ability to compete on price and with no profitablity strategy & with higher than average labour costs

Ya but with state run food banks you can take the money from evil rich people to give food to the poor in exchange for votes.

The purpose isnt to make a well run cheap grocery store. Its purpose is to secure votes.

The other scenario with the grocery stores is that they are heavily subsidized to lower prices. This will cause private groceries in the area to shut down as they will be unable to compete. A food desert will be the end result as the government stores will not be able to make up for the loss of private stores.
He says he will pay for his programs by making the elite pay more. Thing is a rent freeze will bring down property value meaning lower revenue through property tax. A rent freeze can also cost income so any increase in a tax percentage will be offset by a lower income to base that percentage off.
The only way to speed up the busses would be to remove other vehicles from the roads or have less stops on each route.
