https://theworker.news/2026/09/24/mamdani-seeks-trumps-approval-for-nyc-real-estate-windfall-project/


>>New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and US President Donald Trump met at the mayor’s mansion on September 21 to discuss Mamdani’s plan for an expansive housing project atop the Sunnyside rail yard in Queens with federal support.


>>Trump made the planned visit before speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, where he threatened to “annihilate the Islamic Republic”.


>>The two spoke jovially, with Trump saying that Mamdani will be “hopefully, a really great mayor.” Mamdani announced that he and the president agreed to advance talks to a technical level to discuss carrying out the project.


>>According to the mayor’s office, the proposal entails building a $21 billion platform above the rail yard that would allow real estate monopolists to construct housing on the platform.


>>Mamdani claimed the project would lead to the creation of 12,000 housing units, and 30,000 jobs in the process.


>>The idea of housing above the rail yard has long been flirted with by NYC administrations for decades, given its prime location near the East River and Manhattan.


>>Mamdani has worked closely with real estate monopolies with the stated aim of increasing the supply of cheaper housing in the city.


>>August, Mamdani invited 15 executives to join his administration’s business advisory council, including several real estate monopolists.


>>One of these real estate executives, RXR chairman and CEO Scott Rechler, told real estate news outlet The Real Deal in late August, “The economy’s thriving, the commercial leasing market is thriving, people were saying that people were going to flee New York and the reality is, we’ve seen an enormous influx of talent and the wealthy buying condominiums at record levels.”


>>The news outlet writes, “Since the mayor took office eight months ago, many of the concerns about his agenda and its potential impact on the business community have proven to be overstated, according to Rechler, who said a ‘caricature’ painted in the media and even the administration’s own rhetoric has clouded the reality.”


>>The outlet also remarks the administration has launched two city tasks forces to speed up approval and construction of housing developments, and is set to lead another later this year “aimed at overhauling building codes to facilitate new construction and upgrades by finding cost savings for developers, according to the mayor’s housing plan.”


>>Mamdani’s administration has also given its support to privatization of public housing through the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program, a vicious cycle in which public housing is left to deteriorate as the land it is on increases in value and then sold to private real estate monopolies for management and renovation during which tenants are evicted and rents are raised.


>>As part of this program, the mayor is moving forward with the eviction of New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) residents from Fulton Elliot-Chelsea (FEC) for “redevelopment” by Related Companies, the largest real estate monopoly in the city. Some tenants at FEC have refused to leave and are actively resisting city efforts to force them out.


>>New developments can involve demolition of existing housing and raise prices in the area, forcing lower-income residents out of the neighborhood, according to a number of urban research studies.


>>About 263,000 housing units sit vacant in NYC for various reasons, according to a 2023 study by the city. Of these, 33,210 units are available for rent, and 230,200 units are vacant and not available for rent or sale. The top three reasons given for unavailability are: “Held for occasional use”, “Awaiting or undergoing renovation”, or “Held as vacant”.


>>Today, about 26,000 rent-stabilized apartments and 6,200 NYCHA apartments are vacant. Add to this the tens of millions of square feet of office vacancy (12.5% of NYC office space is vacant as of July, according to the city comptroller), and it becomes clear that the housing crisis is not simply a matter of supply and demand, but private ownership and profitability.

This is yer DSSA.

Every American is a rapist

>>2921217


Any collective that eschews the relentless architecture of self-criticism, that lacks the regular crucible of struggle sessions and the disciplined cultivation of theory alongside its education, is, by its very nature, predisposed to systemic violation. Most leftists, I contend, merely aspire to the comforting illusion of 'normalcy,' of palatable existence. And any fervor that dares to breach the comfortable borders of revolution is instantly dismissed by the purveyors of the status quo, the 'normies', who are too deeply invested in their allotted slices of the imperial pie to accept the disruption required by the very tenets of the social contract.

FBI, DHS, DSA, what do they have in common? All class-traitor cowards

That would imply there is a proletarian class in America to betray, there isn’t and never has been, there are three classes in America, the lumpen, the petit bourgeois, and the haute bourgeois

the soldiers of COINTELPRO will be doxxed one by one. You will have to do more than accuse me of being a cult leader to stop me. You'll have to kill me in a violent fashion. It is the only way you will stop me.

Delusional lumpen petit bourg

>>2921237

You are the architecture of convenient dread nothing more than a sheep of the Federal scaffolding erected to rationalize the mundane terror. The FBI, the chronicler of every subtle deviation, is the meticulous historian of permissible doubt, while DHS, the grand sentinel, is the tireless deviant obsessed with drawing arbitrary lines in the shifting sand of dissent. They are not protectors, they are curators of conformity, masters of the well-organized scare. They do not guard the nation; they manage the narrative, ensuring that the revolutionary storm remains perpetually categorized, contained, and conveniently manageable, a threat level deemed acceptable for quarterly reports. Their chickens will soon come home to roost.

Fuck yeah LARPer fight

>>2921258

LARP is necessary, every revolutionary in history began as a LARPer. LARP can get you killed, and charged with felonies, and or branded an enemy of the state, and an array of other glowies, and political factional orgs. Armchair role play cant do any of this, because it has less power.

File: 1790490433366-6.jpg (19.28 KB, 860x645, cruz-1.jpg)

The only people who comment things like "LARP" in a negative fashion, are feds, and do-nothing cowards who want to convince people against real action. Meanwhile, they won't even attempt to "LARP". If you aint afraid to LARP, then why wont you do it? You'll work an abusive 9 to 5 and vote like a cuck though, wont you, you good little boy. No time for playing your live action role as a revolutionary though. Toby good boy for masta. Good field hand.

I bet you all have voter registration cards. I haven't voted once. Not once in my life. I'm 39

All action and non action do the same thing in reinforcing the system in the end, because dialectics are false, we live in a monectic

>>because dialectics are false



You deserve to be sidelined, rendered inert, crippled by the sudden, vicious percussion of a Steyr AUG A1, a beast from the 80s, sleek, utterly decisive, and ruthlessly efficient, meant not just to wound, but to permanently dismantle the posture of complacency.

>>2921290
The monectic will eat you long before it eats itself

In struggle, martyrdom is the highest reward.

Or you can choose to stop being abrahamic
