Commie corridor
The Commie corridor is a term coined in 2025 for a set of New York City neighborhoods, stretching from western Queens into western Brooklyn, that have consistently backed leftist and socialist candidates at the municipal, state, and federal levels since the mid-2010s. The growing trend of left-wing politics in these neighborhoods has largely been attributed to rising costs of living, an influx of younger renters and immigrants with no attachment to the city's Democratic Party establishment, and sustained organizing by groups such as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
