New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio once argued for a planned economy, claiming that the legal protection of private property is what is causing serious inequality in the city.
“What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property. I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be,” de Blasio told New York Magazine in September 2017.
“I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs,” de Blasio said. “And I would, too.”
De Blasio went on to say that it is unfortunate the law stands in the way of “hundreds of years of history” of Americans having the right to private property.
“Unfortunately, what stands in the way of that is hundreds of years of history that have elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that’s the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development,” de Blasio said.
The solution to fixing housing and other perceived ills in the city, according to de Blasio, is to rid itself of exclusionary private property rights.
“Look, if I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed. And there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents. That’s a world I’d love to see, and I think what we have, in this city at least, are people who would love to have the New Deal back, on one level,” de Blasio told New York Magazine.
“They’d love to have a very, very powerful government, including a federal government, involved in directly addressing their day-to-day reality.”
De Blasio promised Monday at his second swearing in as New York City mayor to usher the city into a “new progressive era” that will spread beyond the city’s “borders.”
“Something big is happening in New York City,” de Blasio told a crowd of hundreds gathered in front of City Hall Monday. The 56-year-old Democratic mayor announced a commitment to bring about “a new progressive era in this city’s history,” one that will be “felt beyond our borders.”

Congratulations, you're catching up. Now someone needs to explain it to the 8.5 million living, breathing and voting in New York. Because they clearly have no idea.

I can attest to that. I was standing outside a Social Security office in Atlanta last month interviewing people for a survey about the 'entitlement economy' and heard all kinds of negative comments about President Trump and his administration in general. They're very unhappy with the way he is apparently making them show proof of their job search efforts in order to get paid, and the push for mandatory drug testing of welfare recipients isn't very popular either. They really,
really don't like that one. Something about how it's their money and he better pay it up or else there'll be riots and dead cops everywhere. Many of the comments were very explicit in their imagery.
I had the temerity to ask one young guy standing in line what he does for a living. 'Welfare' was his one-word reply. One word. Welfare. That's how he describes his career. He was maybe 25 years old. He made sure the whole world understood that he has a huge problem with that 'Fascist dictator' (his words) Trump. He also went on to make sure I had an in depth understanding of how expert he is at getting the maximum possible benefit payments.
Yes, it would seem lots of people 'have an issue' with any group who believe they should get off their fat, lazy asses and earn a living for themselves instead of having everything handed to them. Their attitude speaks volumes.
