From the Front Lines of the NYC Harassment Housing Wars

Tenant Harassment Made Possible by the Innumerable Failures of the Executive Branches of NYS & NYC Government

July 14, 2025 / Bastille Day / New York NY / News Analysis & Opinion / Gotham Buzz.

This Section is dedicated to helping New York voters understand how the executive branches of NYS and NYC government are failing New Yorkers every day with respect to preservation of truly affordable housing, and the taxpayers' billions of investments in such.

This in depth report will show how the executive branches government - both Mayor and Governor - are almost entirely responsible for the phony 'NYC affordable housing crisis'. It's a crisis which they have created, which they prolong, and which they use to keep shaking down taxpayers for more and more money to give the billionaires, real estate developers and investors who provide funding for their campaigns [directly or indirectly via PAC spending].

A great deal of their campaign money goes into paying for disinformative Network TV commercials to convince voters that good candidates are bad, and bad candidates are good. And Network TV News and programs too often seem to support the false narratives by ignoring the real stories, ignoring who the pols really are, or just plain ignoring competing candidates. This is why competitive candidates, like Mamdani and AOC, need to bypass billionaire TV News, and use the web to reach voters - because billionaire TV News is trying to muzzle their voices and those they represent.

This will be a running commentary that will soon get started and likely run well into 2026, possibly longer. Stay tuned. I'm nearly certain you will find this an interesting ride.
