New York (again)


Recommended Posts

Like Demented Biden at the federal level, Hochul has lost control of the state.  While they’re busy pandering and trying to ban Trump from running, thugs and maniacs ruling the roost.  What a mess.

BLAME THE BUS COMPANY!

 

 

Liberals love to blame inanimate objects for their own policy failures. Guns are responsible for homicides; Hyundais and Kias are responsible for being stolen; and now, bus companies are responsible for New York City’s illegal immigrant crisis. The New York Post reports:

 

[Mayor Adams’] latest gimmick is to sue bus companies bringing migrants from Texas.

In announcing the lawsuit Thursday, Adams slammed what he called Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s “reckless political ploys” of sending migrants north.

 

I have never seen a liberal northern mayor try to explain why the almost unbelievable costs of illegal immigration should be borne only by border cities and states.

 

But what about Adams’ lawsuit? A normal person might think that the bus companies didn’t cause the problem:

Just trying to exert economic pressure (having to pay lawyers) to get them to stop bussing illegals.

They don't fix problems.  They legislate to make the problems worse then hand out money to these charities to fix the problems they create.  

 

 

You and I agree on some things. Yeah, really.

This has happened before, and in a worse way:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Williams

 

Soon after the foundation of the Crips, other leaders were either murdered or incarcerated and Williams became regarded as the de facto leader. In 1974, Raymond Washington was arrested for 2nd degree robbery and served two years in prison in Tracy. Raymond was soon murdered after his release from prison. On February 23, 1973, Curtis "Buddha" Morrow was shot to death in South Central following a petty argument. Mac Thomas was murdered under mysterious circumstances in the mid-1970s. Williams began to live an ironic double life in which he worked in a legal job as an anti-gang youth counselor in Compton[9] while also serving as the overboss for one of the largest gangs in Los Angeles. Williams would work as a counselor and study sociology at Compton College during working hours, then spend his free time participating in numerous violent attacks against the Bloods.

NYPD officers ‘fed up’ with Alvin Bragg after Manhattan DA lets cop-beating migrants go without bail: ‘A complete joke’

by Tina Moore & Richard Calder

 

Police officers and other critics are slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for refusing to seek bail for the rowdy migrants arrested after allegedly being caught on camera attacking NYPD cops in Times Square. Veteran police officers fumed to The Post Saturday that Bragg made a mockery of the entire justice system by letting five migrants walk after they were arraigned Wednesday on charges of second-degree assault on a police officer and obstruction of governmental administration in the shocking Jan. 27 beatdown.

NYC is handing out $53 million in pre-paid credit cards to migrants.

Meanwhile upstate continues to fall further into poverty.

In upstate New York, poverty rates are between 20-30% per capita based on data from July 2022.

Buffalo: 27.6%

I remember when Rochester was considered an affluent city,

RULE OF LAW IN NEW YORK: 

 

“What is the ‘extraordinary, unusual circumstance’? Being Donald Trump?

 

 If so, she’s revealing that she believes the prosecutors went after the man, not the crime, an abhorrent abuse of power.

 

So, whatever she thinks, she can’t mean to be saying that.

 

What else is there?”   Nothing.

 

We were told up front not to normalize Trump, and the Democrats have denormalized themselves in response.

 

From the comments: “I’ve always thought that Donald Trump was a bit of a clown. I largely still think that. So why are our rulers so hell bent on eliminating him that they are willing to throw away every last vestige of their credibility? It makes me wonder.”

 

 

Me too.

At this point, New York is going to need to be like Germany with migrants.

 

To hell with the cultural friction that results from this, because the state will

simply need people in numbers to replace the population decline. 
 

Sad to see.  I’m from Long Island, and it’s almost monthly that I see another person I went to high school with moving their family out of New York and to the Carolinas or Florida.

I hear that, and it’s extremely annoying when I meet people down south who have done that.. but most of the people I know leaving NY are conservative.  
 

Long Island is pretty much 50/50 with the Irish and Italians voting Republican and Jews/Minorities voting Dem.

 

Everyone I grew up with is Irish or Italian out in the North Shore of Suffolk County.

I do take issue on one point. Of course everyone is an expert on everything. This is 2024!

 

 

I know many reading this think they are experts in everything. You’re not. Those of us who actually attended law school and have been doing commercial real estate for over 40 years, you’ve been lied to. You do not have the facts. You do not know what you are talking about. We employ two of the largest law firms in the country and they’ve been in meetings 16 hours a day in order to determine just how bad this all really is.

 

Every one of these companies, representing trillions of dollars in real estate, is carefully evaluating whether to stay or exit.

Chetrit Group
Vorea Group
Turnbridge Equities
Extell Development
Bldg Management Company
Vornado Realty Trust
L+m Development Partners
United Construction And Development Group
Beb Capital, Totem
Howard Hughes Corporation
Starrett Corporation
Rfr Realty
Jay Group
Property Markets Group
Rabsky Group
Two Trees Management
Heartfelt Townhouse Builders
Lonicera Partners
Taconic Partners
Beitel Group

 

Whether Trump wins on appeal or at SCOTUS, the precedent has been set.  A wall has been broken and there are no take backs. Any company can now be targeted and have their assets seized at the whim of an over zealous AG or politicians. I don’t expect you to know or understand standard CRE practices, but every company below could be found guilty of the exact same actions the Trump Organization was accused of and found guilty, because it is NOT a crime. 

 

The feds declined to file charges as did the previous AG. And the reality is, this should have been heard by the Commercial Division, however, they had already declined to file. 

Why do you suppose the real experts in complicated commercial cases, part of the Supreme Court of New York State would decide not to pursue?

RIP NYC.  You earned it.

My kid quit his job(again) to go to school in France when covid hit N.Y.C., but would be going back.

 

Moved back recently, thinking it couldn’t be as bad as he had been hearing, he’s a bit of a bleeding heart. 

 

He said it’s too far gone and not comfortable there. He’s hoping to be out of there sooner than later.

Woah, common sense from NYC ?

 

Democrat NYC Mayor Eric Adams Calls for Changing ‘Sanctuary City’ Law that Protected Laken Riley’s Accused Killer

by John Binder

 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is calling for changes to the city’s “sanctuary” policy that helped an illegal alien walk free, without being turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, who is now accused of kidnapping and murdering 22-year-old Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia.

 

“For those who are committing crimes, we need to modify the sanctuary city law that if you commit a felony or a violent act, we should be able to turn you over to ICE and have you deported,” Adams said at a town hall on Monday in Brooklyn.
