You claim to want to end homelessness yet you yourself are housed. Curious. very-intelligent

"Cuomo is registered to vote in a ritzy rental complex on E. 54th Street that as of a year ago was priced at $8,242 a month, according to StreetEasy and city election records."

People who say America didn't deserve 9/11 have never heard Andrew Cuomo speak

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 56 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife WORKS too...

Is it surprising that a liberal has no understanding of class? This is the dumbest American shit, getting mad at someone paid a decent wage or salary for their work and then lumping them in with billionaire capitalists getting paid in surplus labor value. It's like them getting all worked up because Bernie Sanders has a weekend cabin, him and a bunch of 1950s auto workers all over Michigan.

If this was written by a staffer, then yeah, theres a decent chance they don't have too keen a grasp on the numbers.

But if it was actually written by Cuomo, then this is beyond cynical. That guy definitely knows the difference between a number that sounds large and a number that is large.

Oh, you want rent control? Well then why don't you move out of your apartment? smuglord

Oh, you're wealthy and you want to tax the wealthy? Hypocrite smuglord

Oh, you're poor and you want to tax the wealthy? Jealous much? smuglord

It continues to be very funny how the Democrats have absolutely no dirt against Zohran Mamdani and they keep showing it.

Excuse me did you miss the 500 comment thread repeating right wing news about how Mamdani is compromised because he was seen standing next to Elizabeth Warren

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 20 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

and he ~~stole~~ borrowed a table!

[–] Fossifoo@hexbear.net 6 points 5 hours ago

And then he laughed it off! As if it wasn't totally a crime!

Folks, they have NOTHING. The people further left than Mamdani almost have more dirt they can use than the right does.

Cuomo thinks just because he's italian, he's safe luigi-dance

[–] ratboy@hexbear.net 56 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

TIL youre considered wealthy in New York if you make 100,000 dollars a year and rent an apartment

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 29 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I mean I would kill for 100k usasian a year

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 17 points 15 hours ago

It's not even 100k u.s.

Maybe like debt as you're getting shafted with all the shit the fed forces you to buy just to have an iota of a normal life. But at that point you might as well be a grocery clerk and get the same thing but without selling your body to uncle sam

[–] ratboy@hexbear.net 21 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Oh totally in would too that's more than double what I've ever made in my life. So by my standards and lifestyle, I would consider myself rich, but I would bet that 100k in NYC shakes out to middle class, essentially

[–] regul@hexbear.net 41 points 16 hours ago

The literal black hole in the middle of the Milky Way calling the kettle black.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 35 points 16 hours ago

Are you fuckin kidding me? If cuomo won this would be literally the only thing he'd do to address the housing crisis, pressure mamdani to move out of his single, individual apartment

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 36 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

lol at Andrew Cuomo calling someone making $200,000 a year very rich. I wish cancel culture was real and #MeToo as powerful as the chuds think so this sexual predator would've actually had his career ruined.

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 9 points 13 hours ago

His career was already pretty shit he needs to spiral even further down into being a literal roach

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 28 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Bet he had to google the rest of lgb

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 42 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Lmao what

He has an apartment so he should move so someone else can rent it? I don't get it

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 10 hours ago

He's got an apartment that legally has to be "cheap", so he should move to an apartment priced at a normal extortionate rate so that the poor family can move in (except they probably won't, even)

[–] mayakovsky@hexbear.net 33 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Does Cuomo really think that apartment wouldnt have the rent jacked up if they moved out?

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 10 points 11 hours ago

And WTF does he mean by poor people should be living in that $2300/mo rental? That’s twice as much as my mortgage and I’m not well off.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, that's the one thing I know about rent control

Landlords hate it and as soon as they get the opportunity they figure out how to remove it

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 30 points 16 hours ago

How was he supposed to know that? He's never rented an apartment in his life

[–] MaxOS@hexbear.net 31 points 17 hours ago

lol this is so weak

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 30 points 17 hours ago

So Andrew Cuomo is going to start letting people live in his house rent free now?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think this is that important either way, but what is the truth or falsehood of what he's saying?

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 18 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

The answer is, the truth or fiction of it is irrelevant, because the premise is fucking stupid. The solution to a family being homeless and Zohran Mamdani having an apartment isn't to have Zohran Mamdani be homeless and that family get his home—everybody should have a home they can afford.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 5 points 4 hours ago

You mean socialism isn't the Poverty Olympics?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 8 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Not to mention that the family in question almost certainly can't afford $2300/mo anyway.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 6 points 11 hours ago

I already prefaced my question with the point that it doesn't matter. We agree, the solution here is not Zohran being homeless. I'm just curious if the aspect of this that is just factual claims is correct.
