The mayor of Dallas issued an open invitation for \u201cconcerned\u201d New Yorkers to flee the Big Apple for the Lone Star state over Zohran Mamdani\u2019s mayoral primary victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDear Concerned New York City Resident or Business Owner:\u00a0Don\u2019t panic! Just move to Dallas, where we strongly support our police, value our partners in the business community, embrace free markets, shun excessive regulation, and protect the American Dream!\u201d Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson wrote on X Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Johnson, who switched from the Democrat to the Republican party in 2023, shared a Wall Street Journal article about how the financial industry is \u201crattled\u201d<\/a> by the possibility of the Democratic socialist serving as mayor of NYC when he made the offer.<\/p>\n

Within minutes of Mamdani\u2019s primary win, luxury real estate brokers in NYC<\/a> received calls from high-end clients asking to walk away from property deals in the city. The wealthy buyers are now looking to go elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Mamdani, 33, has vowed \u201cto lower the cost of living for working-class New Yorkers,\u201d offering free buses<\/a>, city college tuition, child care, a freeze on rents and more.<\/p>\n

The self-described socialist has also promised to open city-run grocery stores across the Big Apple, which he argued would help lower prices for consumers.<\/p>\n

Mamdani has also advocated to increase taxes on the wealthy<\/a>, made anti-police statements and refused to condemn the phrase \u201cglobalize the intifada,\u201d which many interpret\u00a0as a call to exterminate the Jews.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Mamdani vowed to ramp up property taxes in \u201cricher and whiter neighborhoods.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0He also declared that billionaires shouldn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is critical to the way that we organize, the way that we set up our, you know, set up our work and our priorities that we do not leave any one issue for the other,\u201d he added in the video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The mayor of Dallas issued an open invitation for \u201cconcerned\u201d New Yorkers to flee the Big Apple for…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":31006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,403,5372,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969,5301],"class_list":{"0":"post-31005","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-new-york-city","11":"tag-nyc-mayoral-election","12":"tag-texas","13":"tag-tx","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-us-news","20":"tag-usa","21":"tag-zohran-mamdani"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114780391650698275","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
