This is another example of a little radicalism is a dangerous thing. You don't need to be friends with landlords if you're prepared to simply seize all their property.




I…don’t think he is prepared to do that.

That’s if he wanted to, which I am yet to be convinced.

Further, I don’t think any City government (including NYC) is prepared to do that! - short of an already-occurring collapse.


I'm not sure if he can do that. I feel like eminent domain needs to be performed by a governor or federal. People need to remember that a Mayor isn't a "president of city that can do whatever he wants".

I'm pretty radical myself and I also just don't think it's necessary. There's more than enough unusued buildings to rebuild upon or renovate than a need to seize property. Even a place as dence as NYC still has a lot of land to utilize.
