Constitutional scholar Bill Norton and Jenny Beth Martin break down New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pledge to take "aggressive legal action" against landlords and transfer building ownership to community land trusts, nonprofits, and tenants themselves. Norton explains why the vague standard of "chronic neglect" hands enormous power to whoever gets to define it, and why property rights are inseparable from your life and liberty. Then Jenny Beth plays a clip from the documentary Surviving Socialism, where a Venezuelan builder named Oscar describes losing a home he built to Chavez loyalists and the National Guard, and fleeing the country he loved.
