Supporters Turn On Mamdani For Slipping In Homeless Shelter Under Their Noses

The same East Village voters who handed Mayor Zohran Mamdani a landslide victory are now hauling him into court over a homeless intake center he fast-tracked into their neighborhood.

Residents in Election District 45 gave Mamdani 70.1% of the vote over independent candidate Andrew Cuomo’s 26%, according to Fox News. A group of those residents and the Village Organization for the Integrity of Community Engagement (VOICE) filed suit Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court to block the city from converting a building at 8 East 3rd Street into a citywide homeless intake center for adult men.

The lawsuit claims the administration bypassed required environmental reviews and community input by invoking a 2022 emergency declaration originally tied to the asylum-seeker crisis, Fox News reported. (RELATED: Mamdani Finds Way To Downplay Homeless Deaths After Deadly Blizzard)

The site currently functions as a 175-bed transitional housing facility run by Project Renewal, according to PIX11. The plaintiffs argue the surrounding area already bears a disproportionate share of the city’s social services. A state judge granted a temporary restraining order Wednesday, freezing the plan, NY1 reported. Both sides return to court May 7.

You vote for a Commie, you get Communism.

This is nothing.  Once some New York City real estate prices start to fall, mortgage borrowers will technically be underwater, possibly leading to mortgage loans being called by banks.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

They could use those foreclosed homes for homeless shelters for the people they forced out of their homes.
