  • 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.

    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
