  • Out of touch but well-informed

    No honeymoon here for Mamdani, not like the one given to Adams. The hosts seem to have a barely contained contempt for the new mayor, but this is common among political journalists in the city. Hell, it’s common among most political journalists in the country to detest and stigmatize left-wing politicians. I’m not Mamdani’s biggest fan, but their bias is obvious and annoying. I listen 2x speed.

    Really interesting episode .. great people ..

    I still felt frustrated .. seems like they told us what we can’t do .. not enough clarity on what we can do …

    I grew up in the Bronx .. I could imagine the 5 story buildings turned into 20 story buildings

    If crime gets addressed middle class people might want to move there .. the transport is in place ..

    When I think of the office building conversions I think big zoning changes .. if people are willing to live in a box without a window for 1000... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 483: Reviving the Missing Link in Queens
Q: What are the next steps to push this forward?
We need continued engagement with the MTA, a completed cost-benefit analysis, a broader political coalition, and securing a planning grant to move from concept to engineering work, while ensuring community designs protect neighborhoods and allow for parks where feasible.
Episode 483: Reviving the Missing Link in Queens
Q: How would the project be funded and what would it cost?
Current thinking places the total around 4 billion dollars in today's dollars, with a mix of federal funds, city funding, and private or nonprofit support, making it feasible to build the line while delivering substantial time savings and housing development.
Episode 483: Reviving the Missing Link in Queens
Q: What exactly is QueensLink and how did you get involved?
QueensLink is a plan to reactivate the Rockaway Beach Branch to run a north-south subway line with park space and bike paths along the right-of-way; I got involved after observing the debates between competing groups and deciding there was a way to pursue both rail and parks together.
Episode 482: The Local Politics of America’s War in Iran
Q: Welcome, and can you talk about the AG endorsement and whether the District 7 race signals disagreements between Mamdani and WFP progressives?
Gripper indicates the party endorsed Antonio Reynoso due to decades of community service and alignment with WFP priorities, while noting broad support from city council members and labor groups; the endorsement reflects a strategic choice within a broader coalition.
Episode 478: A ‘False Choice’ Between Cops and Community Workers
Q: Would you strongly suggest that they put your role back on the docket? If so, what changes to your role would you suggest?
Stettin thinks having a Senior Advisor on Severe Mental Illness in City Hall is beneficial and he would encourage its reinstatement to ensure better coordination across agencies.
