Mamdani sides with tenants as New York landlords get crushed by rigged housing laws

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under fire, including from the White House, for his choice of a property-rights skeptic and "housing justice" advocate to head the city’s Office to Protect Tenants. Cara Weaver is on record calling homeownership a form of "White supremacy" and advocating that government "seize private property."

We can hope that such policies will not be implemented, even in New York, and the Trump Department of Justice has signaled an interest in ensuring they won’t be.
