[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bloomberg is a misogynistic Republican billionaire, it's unsurprising he'd endorse Cuomo. (his career as a "Democrat" was terminated in 15 seconds by Elizabeth Warren) And he only seems like a good mayor because his immediate neighbors were Alcoholic MAGA Cop and "not so easy to find a mayor that doesn't suck shit"; having lived in NYC through the Bloomberg years, the city got richer and cleaner but also a lot more expensive and lost a good chunk of its soul.

(the last actual good mayor we had was Ed Koch, another pro-housing second-gen immigrant with no executive experience)[/quote]

Completely disagree. Bloomberg was the best thing that happened to NY. The city's finances were very tenuous and he strengthened that. Cleaner is my top priority, along with safety. He also got plenty of housing built. Stop and frisk was brilliant but just executed poorly - the obsession with constantly harping on that is ridiculous. Many people in NYCHA loved the concept. I would be fine being periodically stopped if it meant they were getting the bad guys.

Mamdani's no rent increase is the most ignorant, childish idea I have ever heard. Costs are going up rapidly. Landlords should be able to recoup that cost. I would tighten the rules and enforcement of a lot of the rent regulation. Don't make it totally go away. But make fewer people eligible and enforce that. Clean up NYCHA as people deserve nicer homes but also enforce rules there so that people want to move on, so that will open up housing. And build more housing in the outer boroughs where it is cheaper. Develop Staten Island.[/quote]
