Crazy what not settling for less when it comes to public office will do for you for once.

What matters is what’s meaningful, not what’s expedient.
This isn’t impressive. NYC roads are in rough shape, and patchwork fixes are routine work often dressed up for press. I don’t care about cars.
Bikes cause negligible wear. Vehicles are what degrade roads. Designing n repairing infrastructure around cars feels outdated.
Focus on what actually moves the needle: stronger schools, addressing the $25 billion deficit, supporting people in need, and investing in water infrastructure.
Those are lasting impacts.
I get the sentiment, but we don't have much in terms of hope in our government/politicians these days. Hopefully this is just a stepping stone.
Turns out you can improve both public transit and driving! It was sort of being implied by haters that driving was going to get way worse under him IIRC.
Should've used rats to fill them in. .
Boom, two birds, one stone.
I should be mayor. Amateurs.
You wanna get 2 birds stoned at once?
You talkin bout Pigeons?
Potheads in shambles
By himself? That's quite a work ethic.
He's used to filling holes since college days
This should be in every Mayoral job-orientation handbook.
There's a flip side. My country has roadworks everywhere right before election time lmao
The problem is, you see; hardly anyone reads books these days.
I have dozens of books (that warn exactly, with instructions) on how to avoid this exact situation.

Great things happen when the wealthy pay their fair share.
This is exactly why they never want us to see it happen.
They're gonna pay one way or the other.
We don't want cake.
We can have revolution AND cake!
Sure sure sure, but did the government make any profit from doing this?
Fucking socialist, wasting money on things people need.
Business owners whose vehicles now need less repair and maintenance: “This is unacceptable“

gigachad
This is good but cis people still need to push him to keep his promise on protecting trans people that he made during the campaign and stand up to Mount Sinai and Langone.

Of course.
Actual uplifting news and it's something Zohran Mamdani did. Sucks that this guy isn't eligible for the presidency.
I mean presidency eligiblity seems to be up in the air these days. Maybe it's not impossible
Trump won't be eligible in next election and I'm certain that won't stop him from trying. Why can't we do the same?
...because Zohran Mamdani isnt already the president and isnt being supported by the richest men in the world and is actively being worked against.
Can my city borrow Mamdani for a couple months?
This guy seems like he’s off to a great start.
And who would have thought paying people to provide services would work? I’m shocked!
