DeBlasio on His "Socialistic Impulse"
« on: November 19, 2018, 02:03:33 PM »
I guess the Bronx chick getting elected is causing more of them to just pop their "feelings" out center stage vs behind the scenes. Might be a good thing in the long run.

“I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be,” de Blasio said in a wide-ranging interview with New York Magazine. “I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs.”

A Government that can give you everything can also take it away if they don't like what you think.  Or how you cut your hair. 
WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs.

This isn't a "socialistic impulse" (whatever the heck that might be) this is a puerile impulse expressed by spoiled adolescents. 
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will... The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. ― Frederick Douglass

No American citizen should be willing to accept a government that uses its power against its own people.  -  Catherine Engelbrecht

I thought that was the entire justification for zoning regulations.

That’s a world I’d love to see, and I think what we have, in this city at least, are people who would love to have the New Deal back, on one level,” he said. “They’d love to have a very, very powerful government, including a federal government, involved in directly addressing their day-to-day reality.”

A government can't give you everything
Unless it has already taken everything from you.
What we have here is failure to communicate.
