New York City’s mayoral race has people worried. Many fear socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani will hurt the city. His plans could make businesses leave and hurt hardworking families.
Mamdani wants big tax hikes on millionaires and companies. He says this will pay for free childcare and free bus rides for everyone. But these taxes would hurt job creators and make living costs even higher.
His housing plan would freeze rents and build 200,000 cheap homes. Real estate experts warn this could destroy the market. Landlords might stop maintaining buildings if they can’t make money.
Business leaders sound the alarm about Mamdani’s ideas. They say companies like Nasdaq could flee to New Jersey or Connecticut. This would mean lost jobs and less money for New York City services.
Mamdani even wants the city to run its own grocery stores. He thinks this would lower food prices in poor areas. But government-run stores often waste taxpayer money and don’t work well.
The socialist candidate demands a $30 minimum wage by 2030. This sounds good but would force small businesses to cut jobs or close. Prices would shoot up for everyone.
Worse yet, Mamdani once talked about ending private property rights. This communist thinking attacks the American dream. It punishes people who worked hard to own homes or businesses.
New York City risks becoming unlivable under these extreme plans. Middle class families would suffer most from the chaos. Our great city needs common sense leadership, not dangerous socialist experiments.
