Zohran Mamdani: “When I’m Mayor, slumlords will be held accountable for safety and repairs. If they won’t, we’ll put them out of business.” Me: “Actually, when you become mayor, you will also become the biggest slumlord in New York City.”

In the four minute video posted below, the housing conditions at a three bedroom apartment at a public housing project in the Bronx in New York City are absolutely horrible.
There are rats, roaches, and black mold.
There are leaks in every room.
And every time the tenant calls maintenance to ask for repairs, the government employees always make up some bogus excuse for why they can’t fix anything.
And why should the government employees fix anything, when they know they can’t get fired?
And as all of this is going on, the federal government is giving them $30 million per week to make these repairs.
Since they’re not actually making these repairs, what are they really spending that money on?
The video also says that at other apartments in the same building, sometimes there is no heat, sometimes there is no hot water, and sometimes there is even no running water at all.
Here’s the video:
