De Blasio to mandate energy retrofits for privately owned buildings

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wonder how much the unions paid him for that.

[StCloudMoose]

hey that is great, just what a communist does

[Arm_Bears]

The trickle out of NYC will soon become a torrent.

What does “Da Mayor” plan to do with all the empty buildings?

[Truth29]

And the next big volcanic eruption will cancel this out and a lot more. Once again, the stated purpose is not the purpose; the purpose is power and control.

[ronnie raygun]

He truly wants a new detroit, the mans an imbisile

[poobear]

All this will do is bankrupt current owners enabling Blasio and his cronies to buy them for pennies on the dollar! Nice!

CORRECT, Sir/Miss.

 

 

[Fungi]

This man is an absolute clown without a brain.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

He’s currently being investigated by the same guy who got Sheldon Silver and Dean Skelos convicted. I can’t wait for the perp walk, I don’t think a NYC Mayor has ever been busted.

..unlike Atlanta mayors, one of whom serves jail time as we speak.

Making jobs for Democrats.

and we’ll be providing owners support throughout the process.”
...create an estimated 1,300 direct construction-related jobs

So it's a taxpayer funded, wealth distribution, make-work project. Not surprising coming from a Communist.
I'm curious if the businesses will really be able to afford these changes. Our church in Michigan looked into installing an elevator. Making that change to the building required bringing everything else up to code in the building which would otherwise be grandfathered in. There was no way the congregation could afford it. No elevator.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Exactly. The envirowacko movement has nothing to do with protecting the environment. It's about micromanaging other people's lives.

The goal is to get the masses into crowded, centralized urban hellholes. While the elites get to wine and dine on 100-acre estates protected by armed guards.

My prediction is a lot of warehouse fires. Only the honest owners will lose out.

[stayathomemom]

Ooo! Interesting!

[Noob1999]

Great plan!

Under rent control landlords can’t up the rent, but the government can force them to invest millions to comply with “globull warming”

NYC’ decay will accelerate!

[wally_bert]

Corecto-mundo senor.

[Seruzawa]

Ah. So he just writes whatever laws he likes.

[wally_bert]

The wun does what he wants with a pen and phone, why not since Wilhelm is just as fascist?
