The Frontier

New York Mayor Eric Adams announced plans to seize rental properties from 'bad landlords' and transfer ownership to community land trusts and nonprofit NGOs, while proposing $100B for new public housing.

Peter St Onge argues NYC's high median rent of $4,700 for a one-bedroom and housing shortage result from decades of anti-landlord policies like rent control, union mandates, and onerous permitting.

St Onge claims Japan plans to import 800,000 migrants, with 40% potentially from Bangladesh, to address labor shortages despite public opposition and a recent 10% rise in the domestic farm population.

St Onge cites a Yomiuri survey finding 80% of young Japanese believe mass migration hurts public safety, and notes 90% of Japan's migrants are from the third world, depressing blue-collar wages.

Gallup found nearly one in five American workers fear their job will be automated, a level of anxiety surpassing the 2008 financial crisis, despite strong current labor market data.

St Onge argues AI is a net job creator, citing a 14x rise in software production on GitHub and companies that adopt AI being more likely to increase hiring than non-adopters.

According to Brookings data, St Onge claims about 80% of at-risk 'generalist' college graduates are women, disproportionately holding degrees in psychology or humanities that are vulnerable to AI displacement.

St Onge states PwC estimates AI data center construction will create 4.7 million jobs, with nearly 1 million becoming permanent maintenance roles, boosting blue-collar employment.

Peter St Onge argues the political left targets attractive right-wing female influencers, noting Britain banned entry for activists like Valentina Gomez and Eva Vlaardingerbroek, to protect their young female voter base.

St Onge cites polling showing young single women were the only US demographic to choose Kamala Harris, and in Germany, the communist-linked Die Linke has nearly 40% support among young female voters.

Colombian populist Abelardo de la Espriella leads presidential polls with 80% odds of victory, as 'Bukele-style' anti-crime populism spreads across Latin America with 70-80% regional support.

St Onge notes Nayib Bukele cut El Salvador's murder rate by 98%, turning it from the world's most violent country to safer than New Hampshire, earning 90% approval ratings.

St Onge argues populist leaders like Bukele and Argentina's Javier Milei are often blocked by left-wing judges and legislatures, requiring supermajority wins to enact reforms.
