    Is there a reason why you place strawmen interpretations when trying to actualize meaningful progress?

    Mamdani cannot liquidate private equity.

    In his city, he can make it both illegal to do so, and use that liquidity for state projects.

    Targeting industry might or might not be possible for a mayor…

    Better to try where it actually penalizes the rich, than people with actual needs of secondary homes.

      Is there a reason why you place strawmen interpretations when trying to actualize meaningful progress?

      Mamdani’s actions in the first few months of his mayorship have been one of the few bright spots of meaningful progress we have seen in the past decade.

      In his city, he can make it both illegal to do so, and use that liquidity for state projects.

      This is rich. Somehow Mamdani is not going hard enough against the money and also he is picking on the poor and downtrodden who own Million dollar flats that they don’t even live in.
