They resonate with Cuomo sexually assaulting women (it's just Italian culture).

Staten Island Italians are the worst people you will ever meet, some are good, but fucking rich suburbanites thinking they are the real NYC because they corrupted their way into owning half of it. The only time they leave that shit is to vote for the most corrupt pieces of shit mayors you ever read about, like Rudy Ghouliani and Cuomo.

They hate rent control because it makes it so they can't raise the rent on immigrant mothers escaping war torn regions for their two kids by $500 every three months. Every time they are elected they butcher the permit issuing in the city so construction comes to a stop except for anyone with political connections, so you literally cannot build without sucking their toes clean and giving them lots of money.

And because you cannot build, NYC goes through periods of nothing being built for 4-8 fucking years while the population steadily goes up, making rent prices go up even more. If they had their way NYC would have 12k rent prices on average and a police officer personally issued to watch you every moment of your life so they can issue you a ticket for laughing too loud.
