Why does this keep happening?

Mayor Mamdani's housing advocate aide is a self-loathing racist
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly appointed tenant advocate called to “seize private property” and blasted homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in a series of pro-Communist social media posts.
Cea Weaver, Mamdani’s new director of the city Office to Protect Tenants, made the statements and urged her followers to elect more Communists in several lecturing posts on her now-deleted X account that were unearthed by internet sleuths.
“Seize private property!” she said on June 13, 2018.
She later doubled down on that in a mini-manifesto in August 2019.
“Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy,” she said then.
Weaver also pushed to “Elect more communists” in December 2017 — when a Harlem street corner was being renamed in honor of former Manhattan Rep. Vito Marcantonio, who was a Communist.
She also unloaded on law enforcement in a May 2020 rant that came during the furor over the death of George Floyd.
“Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy,” she said then.
Without landlords how to do you build and maintain housing? You think the government is going to do it? Look at NYCHA [New York City Housing Authority complexes],” said Humberto Lopes, founder and CEO of the Gotham Housing Alliance.
“You put a system in place to destroy landlords. Why are you s–tting on us?,” he said.
Mamdani wants to freeze the rent on 1 million rent-regulated apartments — a move that would need signoff from the Rent Guidelines Board.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing the first major crisis of his week-old administration as his newly appointed tenant advocate’s radical views were exposed — including once branding homeownership a “weapon of white supremacy” and calling on the government to “seize private property.”
The series of past inflammatory social media posts by longtime housing activist Cea Weaver — Mamdani’s director of the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants — unearthed this week sparked outrage and a warning from the Trump administration.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice Harmeet Dhillon said the feds would be on alert for any potential violations tied to the Democratic Socialists of America member’s extreme views.
“We will NOT tolerate discrimination based on skin color,” Dhillon said in a Tuesday post on X. “It is ILLEGAL. [DOJ Civil Rights Division] is paying very close attention.”
Dhillon, in an interview with One America News, added that city government “should be on notice, they’re on high scrutiny.”
“We have several federal statutes that explicitly protect people of all colors and all different kinds of backgrounds and military status and so forth from the exact kind of land grabs and reallocation and redistribution that is being promised in New York,” she told the outlet.
Mamdani indicated Tuesday he was sticking by his DSA ally.
“We made the decision to have Cea Weaver serve as our executive director for the mayor’s office to protect tenants, to build on the work that she has done to protect tenants across the city, and we were already seeing the results of that work,” he told reporters following an unrelated news conference.
It's very interesting that Mayor Mamdani insists on keeping Weaver with her history of inflammatory and ignorant tweets equating white supremacy and owning a house (maybe she should visit Jamaica, South Jamaica, Canarsie, Brownsville, Springfield Gardens or even South Richmond Hill to name a few) yet he sacked his director of operations for her John Rocker style racist tweets on riding the A train to Far Rockaway where Jewish people live.
Looks like Mamdani is emulating his hero Bill De Blasio with the same kind of defiant hypocrisy he exhibited for 8 years. The dope from Park Slope has been succeeded by the Asswipe from Astoria.

Ixnay the IBX
The IBX the MTA, accidental Governor Kathy Hochul and the urbanist cult lobbyists love so much is going to require eminent domain to get it done.
This means over a decade of construction that's going to cause damages to homes and displacement of residents and also the destruction of the environment by razing trees and green space all long the transit line that will stretch from middle class Middle Queens to low area median income towns in South Brooklyn.
This transit plan must be terminated.
Whole lotta gentrification going on
Ridgewood is losing its edge.
Some residents of the increasingly trendy nabe are furious as “corporate slop” Whole Foods plans to come to town, opening what could be its first outpost in Queens.
The upscale Amazon-owned grocery store chain recently inked a 15-year lease on the former Beaux-Arts historic bank building at 55-60 Myrtle Ave., according to documents filed with the city on Wednesday.
The grocer takeover could mark the first Queens location for Whole Foods, though another location is slated to open in Long Island City in 2028. There are no operating shops in Staten Island or the Bronx.
The Ridgewood store will take up the entire 28,000-square-foot first floor of the three-story former bank on Myrtle Avenue, which housed a Rite Aid until the chain shuttered for good this year.
But some observers fumed about the announcement, expressing fears the “gentrification indicator” could be the final nail in the coffin for the hipster mecca.
“Oh man. The Brooklynization of Queens has begun,” Asad Dandia, a historian and walking tour leader, wrote on X.
“A Ridgewood Whole Foods… It might be over in ways I’ve never thought possible,” one user wrote on X.

Queens is burning: Car meetup in Malba gets ultraviolent as participants torch a security car and beat down a resident in front of his house
Last night in Malba, a large group of individuals from outside my district conducted an illegal 'takeover' of a quiet residential street at approximately 12:30am. This is not the first time it's happened.

From the way @NYCCouncil member Paladino explains this and what this community experienced, it seems @ZohranKMamdani Department of Community Safety already exists and the NYPD treated this as a "social worker" response situation instead of the crimes being committed at the time… https://t.co/XI5fgnGzik

A rowdy mob beat a Queens couple and set a car ablaze when the residents and other locals tried to stop a wild car meet-up in their neighborhood early Sunday, according to the victims and video.
The disturbing attack occurred when a bunch of out-of-control drivers descended on South Drive and 141st Street in Malba, doing donuts and speeding over lawns around 12:30 a.m.
“When I came out, I said, ‘Bro, you gotta get the f–k off my property,’ and that’s when it all started,” victim Blake Ferrer told The Post.
Video shows a group of about a dozen ruffians kicking, punching and stomping Ferrer, who was left with a broken nose and ribs. His wife was also hit.
Ferrer was “lucky he wasn’t killed,” said disgusted City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, who represents the neighborhood.
Larry Rusch, 59, a local whose car was set on fire, said it “was a complete melee.”

Meet Queens' dirty 1/2 dozen
From left to right: Caban, Won, Schulman, Gutierrez, Lee, Williams all seek to royally fuck over 3-family homeownersThe Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) is now making its way through the City Council. The bill gives qualified non-profit organizations a right of first opportunity to purchase certain residential buildings when they are offered for sale. It requires property owners to offer registered non-profits both the first and last opportunity to purchase their property before it can be sold in on the open market. This can and will add months, or even up to a year, to a transaction and introduces significant procedural hurdles throughout the process.
COPA currently has the support of a veto-proof majority in the City Council, a body not known for astute law making. The bill is garnering tremendous support and seems highly likely to pass.
Please write to her today and tell her you are against this bill. Her email address is SpeakerAdams@council.nyc.gov. The text for the email is provided at the bottom.
Here are the key provisions of the bill:
* The bill aims to preserve and expand permanently affordable, community-controlled, and tenant-controlled housing and to prevent the displacement of low-income residents.
* It applies to residential buildings with three or more dwelling units.
* Owners must notify the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and a list of qualified entities at least 180 days before selling an eligible building.
* Qualified entities have 60 days to express intent to purchase and then a total of 120 days from the initial notice to submit a competitive offer.
* The qualified entities also can match any bona fide third-party offer the owner receives. These are generally non-profit organizations certified by HPD that demonstrate a commitment to creating and preserving permanently affordable housing for extremely low, very low, and low-income residents.
* An owner who violates the provisions of the bill would be liable for a civil penalty of $30,000.
Concerns are being raised about the consequences of COPA. Click here and here for assessments of the bill.
City Council Member Vickie Paladino has again warned about the bill. Paladino notes:
“After they bankrupt these buildings with rent control and green mandates like Local Law 97, politically connected nonprofits will buy them up on behalf of the city for conversion to public housing.”The role of progressive-approved NGOs as oligarch-controlled partners to the DSA’s goal of a “Red Vienna” moment must not be ignored.
Dear Speaker Adams,
I am opposed to Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (File# 0902-2024). I believe the bill will be detrimental to NYC and will damage the multifamily sales market because it will:
- Add Months of Forced Delay to Every Sale Transaction
- Reduce Property Values by Shrinking the Buyer Pool
- Increase Bureaucratic and Paperwork Burdens
I therefore request that you do not submit the bill to be voted on.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
