Why is it such a big deal who is mayor of NYC? (lemmy.ca)

I get and agree that more progressive candidates are a good thing, but how much unilateral power does the mayor of one city really have, even if it's NYC? Why is everyone, up to the top of the US government, chiming in on it?

In addition to the other comments, New York City alone has a bigger population than several entire states.
