First, this Politico article suggested he was living out of his campaign office, while his real home was in NJ
https://politi.co/3iCuBnr

Which led to this

This guy isn't great for other reasons, but this is funny.

He is running to be mayor of a city that it's not apparent he actually lives in regularly.

And the Brooklyn house is probably his son's place, not his lmao

Best case scenario, he can say he pays/paid for it, but it doesn't change the fact that he doesn't live there

Lol, he grew up there and still has a home there and wants to be the mayor which means if he's not already, will be spending the vast majority of his time there.

This is the stretch of all stretches. There are plenty of politicians that have 2nd homes outside their district.

Ok but do you not see the humor in him faking it?

I don't think he is faking it. He owns a building in Brooklyn where his son lives and he stays when he's in the city, which one would guess is pretty often

Funnier or sadder that only Andrew Yang knew how much the median cost for homes is in Brooklyn? Two candidates actually said around 100k...

((That was meant to be a sorta inside CE joke))

Seriously though I haven't heard of him.
I honestly haven't followed that race at all. Outside of Yang, I suppose.

This is no different than AOC claiming to grow up in Bronx when she grew up in a richer neighborhood in Westchester. That guy will be fine.

Until this election, I had no idea Yang actually lived in NYC. I thought he was from California because of his silicon valley vibe.

Didnt he just move to NYC to run for Mayor? I would hope the dude who literally just bought a place would have a good idea on what housing costs look like.
The progressive wing seems to be solidifying behind Maya Wiley. The fact that Morales got caught trying to bust her campaign workers union seems to have torpedoed her fair, next.

When you're right, you're right. There are no good candidates here, but Adams seems especially bad

Adams has clearly been living in his Borough Park office and NJ, not that apartment.

Neither are valid for residency.

You need to live in a city to be the mayor of it.

Eric Adams is also an outspoken, proud bootlicker. His ad campaign is literally (I'm not even joking) "I got beat by the cops, and then I became one".

Adams is gonna win because white people like how he's pro-cop and black people like how he's a black guy from Brooklyn.
