Mamdani won't do any of this, he's not listening. His brief, like so many Communists and Islamists and people like Newsom, Carney etc is to do as much damage as possible whilst pretending to be trying (and stuffing their own pockets).
NYC infrastructure is exhibit A that the government can't get anything done.
NYC's infrastructure was the best in the world 100 years ago when the subways, tubes and rail tunnels, Penn Station, Grand Central and other landmarks were built and managed by private industry.
After the city takeover of everything the infrastructure morphed into 3rd world status.
Even the bridges and vehicular tunnels built by the Port Authority and Robert Moses were built when the agencies were filled with key employees trained in private industry. But that was years ago.
Mandami is indicative of the people who "elected" him. They are all not from the area and as a result lost all continuity of the history of the Boros. Few real New Yawkers are left. He will demolish NYC.
EVERYTHING in NYC was built by capitalists. It may have been paid for with public funds and lots of infrastructure, after it was built, was handed over to socialists to run. Since the profit motive is heresy to socialists, these systems eventually fail due to lack of maintenance and underfunding of improvements since they run as monopolies. Plus the lack of reward (profit) built into all private enterprise makes public service indifferent to the customer experience.
The original Penn Station and Grand Central were funded by private companies. Andrew Carnegie paid for the 5th Avenue main library and possibly the other libraries. The rail tunnels built by private companies. The museums- private money. August Belmont and others did most of the funding for the subways. A Marietta Georgia attorney built the tubes.
You'll love this if you have a spare 19 minutes - a very quick summary of the Great Exhibition in London, 1851. The biggest building on earth, built in record time, within budget and it amazed the world. Can anywhere in the west do this anymore? https://youtu.be/lunN7Ob_R9k?si=L8BmJk8-9Ey-Bd9y
ha. give it 12 months and they will be bedfellows (in the 19th century sense).
really. they'll "brand it" something like People's Capitalism.
Or Public Equity. Or Community Development Funds (OK those already exist).
Or
And all the Marxists will shoot you a dirty look if you question the committment to the revolution.
"The revolution needs money!", the angry communist sharply retorts to your revolutionary zeal.
"These are comrades they're not capitalists", he says as the limousine approaches to whisk him downtown.
Hhahahahah. What a joke this guy is a commie. Or a "socialist". You folks. really. you're like the dude watching Andy Kaufman wrestle Jerry Lawler (OK yeah that was a long long time ago, but still) and you think it's real. hahahahahahahaha ROTFLMAO
RED ALERT! --- HE IS A POPULIST. HIS PRIMARY MISSION --- TO GET ELECTED!
You wait. Goldmint Stachs will be running the administration.
You think I'm kidding! you think I'm joking. You think you know what's going on? Take a look at this and tell me . . . did Andy Kaufman really need a neck brace after this?
Alert: you don't know what is going on. You don't.
He was elected based on his fantastical rhetoric and the gullibility of equally fantastical thinking voters. All that I know about the situation is that none of these "helpful" proposals come from anywhere near sound economic principle and are doomed to failure.
I've said this before. Mamdani didn't run for mayor to be the mayor. The wanted a highly-visible platform to spew pro-Marxist, pro-jihadi propaganda. During the past snowfall when the streets weren't getting plowed and the garbage wasn't getting picked up, what was he doing? Trying to solve those problems? No. He was on the Sunday news shows talking about the increasing role Muslims are playing in reshaping America.
Don't ask him to get his hands dirty doing that "petty mayor shit". He's working on a much higher plane. Just ask him.
The whole "hates America" and "are trying to do as much damage as possible" are getting tiresome. It's b.s. And it's the same thing said about Trump & Co. Perspective is everything. If you don't like the other guy's ideas or policies, well, then they hate America and are trying to destroy.
Silly.
They simply have a different preference for how things should be done and how we get there.
Mamdani is is a narcissistic Communist Sociopath who hates America and everything that once made NYC the "Big Apple". Those days are long gone and there is now no path forward for the Rotten Apple other than complete financial collapse (and hopefully NOT "practical" collapse) and total governmental economic restructuring along free market lines. Probably the most UNLIKELY scenario.
If it's stupid and the wrong thing he will do it.

Nothing will be done.
We are in the "Golden Age of Bureaucracy".

My taxes exceed my mortgage. Republicans are too stupid to point it out.

Thank you for the link.
If you remove the 10's of millions of illegal immigrants, supply would drive down prices.
NY is about to become burdened by what will be. The significance of the passage of time in collective warmth is significantly significant.
