Too little, too late. #DanGoldman refused to support #Mamdani, now he wants the coattails!
His mock-attack ad paints him with Mamdani's brush, but his opponent #BradLander's thirty points ahead yay.
The more Democrats openly praise #progressive policies the better, but he needs to step aside for a true progressive #legislator

Et tu, The Hill?
I won't link to it, it's horrible fear mongering from the right. And it's on "The Hill"!
Some rich white lawyer's trying to sell his book, and got an Op Ed on The Hill, of all places, to complain that paying construction workers at least $40/ hour "will further discourage investors"...
Ugh.
THERE. IS. NO SUCH THING. AS LIBERAL MEDIA. IN THIS COUNTRY.
>>HE NEVER PROMISED FREE BUSES!!!

This, re: 2nd-Home tax, has half-truths but also quotes NYC DSA.
She plays it like a huge concession, but tells us F-U re: remaining $450B budget shortfall that Adams left us. "I'm not going to tell the mayor where to find the savings." SHE'S A CONSERVATIVE just like Cu0mo.
They both play it like a win, but the DSA points out it's just 10% of what we need.

#Mamdani's restarting homeless sweeps, which he said he would not.
But this time, to his (small) credit, the decisions *if* to clear & *which* to clear will be made by #DHS Department of #Homeless Services, not by #NYPD (#Adams was a cop, so cops were king).
Gothamist analysis of Adams' 4.1K sweeps Jan24-Jun25, ZERO ppl found #homes, just 260 went to shelters.

#Sewer #Socialism at work, yaasss!
Quality of life issues. Building maintenance schedules. Boring things, but #Mamdani's focus on fixing is inspiring.
Inspections on buildings younger than 40 years will drop to 3-year visual checks, then manual facade inspections (read: scaffolding) only every 12 years (was 5).
Distance of scaffolding to decrease, improving life (and risk?) on the ground for pedestrians.
