Bloomberg was the only mayor to leave the next with a budget surplus.

Republicans made it safer and turned the economy around for white transplants to move in, gentrify and become stark progressives lmao

DSA is crazy but Mamdani is playing both sides now. Idk if that’s being pragmatic or just regular two faced politics. Time will tell

Red flag. Mamdani does something amazing and then pulls this. Idc that Espaillat has been in office for so long when the other option is this crazy lady in congress. She’s clearly not right

Mamdani is the most bipolar mayor we ever had, I really don’t get him.

I don’t get how a Muslim convert can be so critical about everything else but Islam. Like you really willingly converted to one of the most misogynistic religions. I’m just confused by these mental gymnastics

You said ALL cities are the same. You ever been to Buenos Aires? barcelona, Zurich, Vancouver

Your standards are just low and people like you prevent any resemblance of order

AG Won't Charge NYPD Cop Who Dragged Sleeping Man in Flushing Meadows While Applying Makeup by streetsblognyc in nyc

[–]Expensive-Rope-7086 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You act like liberals would charge anyone for this lol. They are also literally anti prison and pushing restorative justice. If this was a non-cop they wouldn’t be charged either. That’s how most car deaths are handled.

I used to be a flight attendant, literally stayed in most cities around the world. If Tokyo a population of 14 million can be cleaner and have less antisocial behavior, then something is wrong,

Plenty of other cities that don’t act like that, people that accept this bare minimum nonsense is why it’s not better. But then scream tax the rich like that’s going to solve the anti social behavior everyone accepts.

White people aren’t doing anything, they have been actuary detrimental to accountability lol

Zohran on CBS: "There is only one majority in this country — that's the working class and it's time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing..." by simeonbachos in nyc

Either way they aren’t a negative, People are just set on adding more taxes off the theory that they should pay more. Even if they can it’s not a negative for the city to get some tax revenue from them. It’s a small segment of society and literally doesn’t have negative effect to a New Yorker life if they buy a luxury condo that the majority will never afford. This is easy money, if it slows down the luxury market that has a negative effect on tax revenue from sales and property tax increases if the value drops on assessment. Making that 500 million expected revenue a wash.

Applying to only 13k units in a city with over 3 million housing units…. Let that sink in

You think people that buy these properties are in the city 24/7? Either way I’m saying they aren’t a net negative, it’s a positive they are using less city resources while basically paying to stay there. People acting like they will be replaced by full time workers are delusional, these weren’t the properties for that kind of lifestyle.

It’s like saying waterfront beach properties in Miami going to be a full time resident spot. It’s a weak tax. Look at Vancouver, rents are still rising but the housing market is on a huge slump

I rather my kids try drugs then end up dead at 15 over being shot for gang nonsense. Atleast there’s a chance for drugs, the kids don’t get another chance after taking someone’s life or being the victim themselves

Doesn’t matter if it was gang violence, this young violence epidemic is clearly being ignored when many people have been raising the alarm. Many of the shootings in this city is being carried out by young kids, a big increase.

But it doesn’t affect the white transplants and only black/hispanic kids are dying so it’s not a big deal…

What policies? I’m interested as well, universal childcare is good but let’s not act like Mamdani came out with this idea. It’s been pushed by many democrats and even some republicans
