Meet the Nutcase Who Wants to Be NYC Mayor

Zohran Mamdani, a leading candidate for New York City mayor, who sometimes acts unhinged in public, wants to use empty subway retail and storefronts as hobo huts for the homeless and the mentally ill.

I guess he figures the subway isn’t dangerous enough. The subway problems now are due to the homeless, drug addicts, and mentally ill.

The state assemblymember from Queens said his idea could connect people to longer-term care and provide “triage” centers for those undergoing mental health crises in the subways.

“If you just think about New Yorkers who are in a moment of crisis, in a mental health crisis, to just have a place they know they can go to that is in the subway station, where they can get just a moment of relief, a moment of care, a moment of guidance,” Mamdani told Gothamist on a walk through Times Square station. “It could be all the difference.”

Mamdani estimates his plan would cost $10 million and fit into his $1 billion broader public safety proposal, which he said he would fund by pushing the state to vote for tax hikes on the wealthy.

Tax the wealthy who pay 40% or more of the taxes now.

He wants to hire outreach workers in the top 100 busiest subway stations with the highest rates of homelessness, and he said a similar effort inspired the drop-in hubs in Philadelphia, which have been operating for over a decade. And another mayoral primary candidate, Democratic state Sen. Jessica Ramos of Queens, has also proposed using vacant subway retail space to provide homeless services.

This is so third world.

He’s a communist who wants government to own supermarkets. He’s lying about grocers price gouging.

He loves open borders also.

Foreign Nationals should not be able to hold any political office city, state or federal.
Uganda is dysfunctional for a reason.
