It’s actually happening New York passed The "COPA Act” and will force sales of certain personal properties to the government and NGOs New York Councilwoman Vickie Paladino actually speaks out against it and confirms they will steal homes “Absolutely ridiculous and shameful, shame, shame on all of you” “In regard to what we're just talking about now, COPA, how wrong can a person be or a body of a government be when we start to take the individual rights away from the homeowner, whether it's a two family house, three family house, four family house, what does it matter? The fact is the person owns the home, they have the right to sell the home to whomever they please. The idea that we have to consult with the building department and give a six month period of time for someone else to make an offer is absolutely outrageous. And to say it's government overreach is 100% true. This is absolutely maniacal.” “I do not understand how this body works when it comes to individual citizens of this city. This is overreach at its very best. I'm a homeowner, and no one is going to tell me or anybody else I know that's worked so damn hard to own a three or a four family home that I have to submit the ability to sell my house first to the building department and then offer it up to a non-for-profit when my neighbor across the street may want to buy it.” “Absolutely ridiculous and everybody in this room should be terribly embarrassed — Absolutely ridiculous and shameful, shame, shame on all of you”
