First round voters in Queensbridge Houses voted for Andrew Cuomo over Zohran Mamdani, 59 per cent. to 29 per cent., rejecting the darling DSA/WFP/PSL newcomer

A vote of no confidence from NYCHA residents in Zohran Mamdani’s Assembly district

The drumbeats eminating from the largest public housing development in the Nation have turned ominous for Assemblymember Zohran K. Mamdani (DSA-Astoria), the Democratic Party nominee in the November génerale mayoral race in New York City.

Assemblymember Mamdani reportedly lost the vote at Queensbridge Houses, the large public housing development in his Assembly district, according to an Editorial published by the Daily News.

 

Cuomo beat Mamdani in Ravenswood Houses and Astoria Houses, also in Mamdani’s district, suggesting a voter backlash by NYCHA residents to the DSA/WFP/PSL duplicity.

In the first-round voting in the primary election, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) beat Assemblymember Mamdani amongst Queensbridge Houses voters 59 per cent. to 29 per cent., revealing a 30 per cent. margin in political support. The Editorial revealed that Assemblymember Mamdani’s margin of defeat was similar at Ravenswood Houses and Astoria Houses.

Assemblymember Mamdani’s defeat amongst New York City Housing Authority tenants after over two terms as a State Legislator flew in the face of the Socialist’s brand of politics. Assemblymember Mamdani has walked a fine line between “seizing the means of production” and opulent spending on a globe-trotting lifestyle. He lives like a Ugandan warlord. Voters facing inflation at the grocery stores and disenchantment with the Duopoly may have taken notice at the duplicity.

NYCHA public housing residents are used to being forgotten, getting left behind, and ignored. Are they beginning to fight back ?

An Upstate-Downstate coälition, a front-group of DSA/WFP/PSL functionaires and led by the DSA’s maven of social housing, Cea Weaver, was the reported lobbying coördinator behind the DSA/WFP/PSL’s Plantation Trust (f/k/a the “Blueprint For Change”), which aims to end F.D.R.’s New Deal promise of housing as a human right by replacing NYCHA. Like RAD/PACT, the Plantation Trust seeks to collaborate with the stated Project 2025 goal of President Donald Trump (R) to end Section 9 public housing.

After years of struggle, are public housing residents waking up to how the DSA/WFP/PSL, and their chorus of front-puppets, have sold them out ?

President Trump can dismiss U.S. Attorneys without cause. But Trump has cause to fire Audrey Strauss for failing NYCHA public housing residents.

Audrey Strauss is a do-nothing “Acting” U.S. Attorney, and she is countenancing Bill de Blasio’s breach of the HUD Settlement Agreement with NYCHA.

Shortly after the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic in New York City, the political gossip Web site POLITICO published a report, noting that the administration of Mayor Bill de Blasio (WFP-New York City) was in violation of the Settlement Agreement between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, and the New York City Housing Authority, or NYCHA (… “with the onset of the [C]oronavirus, [NYCHA] workers have stopped doing annual inspections of properties required by” HUD, and NYCHA “… is limiting lead inspections to the universe of properties already known to have both lead paint and children under six years of age. … That has thrown the [C]ity out of compliance with a [F]ederal [S]ettlement [A]greement.”).

That the de Blasio administration was able to within the first weeks of the confinement to breach the HUD Settlement Agreement with NYCHA means that he is delaying the addressing of one healthcare crisis (say, lead paint poisoning) for the potential of another (Coronavirus infection).

The breach of the HUD Settlement Agreement less than one year since it was inked should have enraged NYCHA residents, but the corrupt mayor has engaged in obfuscation by taking the public’s focus off of long-term healthcare endangerment to tenants caused by lead poisoning, and he has proposed, in its stead, the free delivery of meals, the purchase of inexpensive Android tablets, and the distribution of at least some air conditioning units for senior citizens living in public housing. That was enough of a give-away to distract, confuse, or buy-off some tenants and many NYCHA “preservation groups” into going alongst with the mayor’s grand prize game, thereby taking the heat off the mayor’s violation of the HUD Settlement Agreement.

Audrey Strauss should know better than to go alongst with this charade. Donald Trump put NYCHA front-and-centre at the RNC. If he really cares about NYCHA, then he should fire Audrey Strauss.

Audrey Strauss is an entitled former C-suite executive of a large mineral mining conglomerate. She has already made one turn through the revolving door between Government and Big Business, and now she heads the self-styled “most influential” U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Nation. With all the pretense that goes alongst with such a job, Audrey Strauss is clearly demonstrating how S.D.N.Y., as her office is sometimes known, engages in selective prosecution. The mayor has violated the Settlement Agreement for a case that Audrey Strauss’s predecessor called the most important on his office’s docket, and Audrey Strauss is signaling that there will be no consequence to Mayor de Blasio over his breach of the Settlement Agreement.

The violation of the Settlement Agreement puts the lives of public housing residents in danger. For such reckless abandon of the trust the public is supposed to vest in S.D.N.Y., Audrey Strauss must be removed from office.
