United Nations Investigating New York Housing Situation

Ah, how far we have come. The United Nations is coming to investigate housing in New York City and 5 other cities in the United States. You know, because we may have sub-standard housing.

The United Nations has assigned an official, “a special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing,” to check the city’s affordable housing. The rapporteur, Raquel Rolnik, is to tour the city for the next three days with housing advocates and city officials to “hear the voices of those who are suffering on the ground,” she said. via Breitbart

Sorry, but this must be the theater of the absurd.

Let’s compare: Rio de Janeiro

Mumbai

South Bronx (yes, those are air conditioners in the windows)

Hey UN, stop the BS and find real issues to worry about. We may do some things in the USA that is not great but the standard of living for even the poorest amongst us still is better than most of the world.

Here is the video of Raquel Rolnik spending the United Nations money searching for a problem that just does not exist.

Update: Our beloved Raquel Rolnik hails from São Paulo, Brazil. Can you spell Hypocrisy?

  1. Great point. They need to fix places like southeast Asia and India before they even think about calling NYC a problem. Though some parts of Detroit do look a lot like Mumbai……….different story though.
