Who wants Housing?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Call.
That's the biggest bs bluff if I've ever seen one.
Wait until it happens. I can't count the number of people who dramatically stated they'd relocate to another city or country if some politico or other was elected and never followed through. Most people who say that are all talk and no walk...
i agree that it is not going to happen, but relocating to a different city is massively easier than relocating to a different country (still not easy)

Mate, well-off people are were they are because they like living there and operate their businesses were they do because that's were they make money - they're not going to sacrifice their quality of life and profits merelly because they disagree with an elected politician.
Sure, they'll say they will because saying it literally costs them nothing, but they won't actually do it unless they're sure they will be better off by acting thus.
Only those who aren't high net worth individuals have to face themselves the difficulties of relocating, the well-off just pay somebody to deal with the headaches for them, so they never had any barrier to leaving other than that life won't be as good for them or doing business won't be as profitable elsewhere.
It's not by chance that the free market "paradise" free of government interference and taxes called "Somalia" hasn't attracted any high net worth individuals.
It's ironic that they would move to another country because someone they perceive as an immigrant has been elected. Then again these people are not well endowed in the brain department.
Americans are not the world's favourite group of people right now, so I suspect emigrating would be difficult, unless they want to go and fight Russia's war for them then I'm sure they'll be welcome.
Oh, these people don't walk. Presumably they'll be chauffeured.

Add one to the tally, zorra. Brexit made me leave the UK
Other disappointments when people didn’t flee from a lost election:
(He also said it in 2024 in reference to Harris… such a missed opportunity)
TACO.
I haven't looked it up because I'm lazy, and for the past couple days that people have been calling him taco, I've been trying to remember what it stood for. The best I've gotten is "Trump asshole cunt... O... Range?"
Tiny anus cop orifice
Wth does it stand for? At this point, I'm determined to either be told or remember?
Trump always chickens out
Ahh yes ty
You're far too creative
To be fair, if he had lost in 2024 he may have had to face sentencing for all the felonies (also probably not though)
It should not have taken 4 years to sort through his shit.
The fact that the legal system is so slow is part of the problem. He just needs to send a couple yes men to court to straight up lie for a bit and then it's another 6 months to call him on the lie.
Same kinds of people who flee to Russia to avoid DEI and other "western degeneracy". It's probably for the best. Or it would be if any of them had the balls to act on their idiotic words.
Oh no! The horror of free bus transportation and affordable housing. Aaaaaaaaaaa!
The propaganda machine against Zohran won't stop now that he's been elected.
but will it stop affecting us innocent non-United Statesians?
My fucking wife doesn't know the name of OUR CURRENT MAYOR, yet she knews about Zohani.
Go Zohani, but I don't want to hear about local affairs from the US
EDIT : my bad on his name, he doesn't deserve that kind of shit; it's Zohran Mamdani, but I am leaving the mistake up for the record.
The problem is local US stuff is now a world wide issue... So it's not going anywhere for now.
Yeah, people are right to complain when their local news is being drowned out by american politics but at the same time the political situation in the US is incredibly relevant to any country even tangentially associated with the US. Trump's trying to do things like drop the nuclear test ban treaty and is actively attacking Venezuela, like, it is important. That the sheer unhinged drama drives engagement to the point that everything else is excluded just means you need to step up and make your own government as fucking crazy as ours is.
I mean Trump does that, but how is the daily minutiae of that relevant to me in Europe for example?
I've had the country with the world's biggest nuclear arsenal threaten to nuke my literal home address like twice in the past 3 years (I used to live near the Rotterdam port for a while), why do I care that the second biggest might someday resume nuclear testing like everyone else already does?
Or that the US might attack Venezuela? I've a full blown war, largest European war since WWII, right next door.
Trump getting elected and his policy might affect my life somewhat, likely much, much less than my local news do, or EU news, or news in EU-adjacent countries. Mamdani, ICE abductions, they are mostly just interesting stories to read that nobody actually cares about.

but even for those standards, it's too much. it doesn't even fucking affect the entirety of the US except for knock on effects. Like I gave a shit about Milei winning the argentinian elections, only because it could encourage more "libertarian" nutcases.
Spoilers : Milei is not a "libertarian", he doesn't believe in the only fucking saving grace of libertarianism : personal freedoms.
But it does, as trump is going to go after new York with even more force now. When Americans finally get off their ass and do something is what we are waiting for and this is the next step... For better or worse.
But it does, as trump is going to go after new York with even more force now.
what does that matter to someone living in the other fucking hemisphere, or hell, in wisconsin?
EDIT: I'll even go a step further, why should I give a shit about ICE, yeah, there's fucking murderous squads of cops beating ethnic minorities. So? They've been doing that in Myanmar and Israel for decades, why do I care when it happens to idiots from Cuba that voted for trump, or generic immigrants who said "I'm leaving my home country, where should I move to? Oh, I know, the place where they have no universal healthcare"
Because they are putting billions into making it everyone's problem. Funding similar politicians around the world, making life harder for everyone on the planet.... Not too mention the cost of things. They've made it everyone's problem.
Same here, my country just voted on a new government but I doubt most voters know more than 3 names on the ballot yet Mamdani is everywhere.
Then again New York City's population is more than half of ours. New York state is probably more.

Obama's tan suit has entered the chat...
Right wing empty threats. No one is leaving.....
Just a bunch of chest pounding and whining
Speaking as a librul snowflake hopelessly stuck in the cousin-fuckingly-deep south, perhaps one of the Trumpanzees in NYC would be interested in a trade?
...please?

Every large city is democratic, and my understanding of linear time means more Gen Z will be elected soon.
Somehow I think those people leaving would solve more than the housing crisis
I'm still a little unsure if this piece is for him or against him lol
I would have thought New Yorkers were the stay and fight sort.
1,000,000 claim they are going to pack up, sell their homes, find employment in another city, and move... but they couldn't be bothered to vote? Bunch of snowflakes.
Nobody is leaving. This is a Post story. They're bloviating nonsense artists.
I'm sure they found a couple tweets about it (or paid some bots if they were real keen)
From what I can tell it only takes 10 or twenty tweets for the media to latch on and pump out a story about it.
It's the same when a comedian complains about being "cancelled" because 5 people said their joke sucks on Twitter.
Probably can't vote in NYC because their legal residence is already Florida, Nevada, or somewhere without income tax. And they won't leave because The Villages just doesn't have the food, parties, or culture that NYC has.
That doesn’t necessarily stop them. Republicans love committing voter fraud.
Lol, I live in California, and sometimes catty Republicans like to make snide comments about how they don't want to live here because of the "politics".
Every time I hear this, I get excited. Like... "Really? Where do you live? Is it nice? Go the fuck away please."
So.. rents going down then, right?.. right?
