The narrative that the only real New Yorkers are the ones who have lived here for 50+ years is just as bad as the narrative that the only real Americans are the ones living in rural areas in the middle of the country
Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment

The MTA has been very successful at pushing the onus of bus performance improvements onto the city, but it was MTA who walked away from the Select Bus program, did very little on bus stop spacing in its network redesigns & blew off all-door boarding
We know NYCDOT has the resources and energy to build well beyond the 30 miles per year required by law. What they haven't had is loyalty from City Hall.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

A higher percentage of New York City Jews intend to vote for Zohran Mamdani in 2025 than Jews nationwide who voted for Donald Trump in 2024, and yet the former are treated as radioactive by American Jewish establishment organizations, while the latter are overrepresented in community leadership.

Curtis Sliwa is more principled in his personal contempt for the disgraced former governor who voluntarily resigned from office amidst 13 credible sexual harassment claims and other scandals than a good number of Democratic voters in this city, and that's not a good reflection on those voters.

Gale Brewer has been a disaster for years and this is further proof. She only cares about car owners. She needs to be primaried.
The city's nascent effort to convert 70 curbside spots on the Upper West Side from free to metered parking is on hold after drivers threw a fit — and the local Council member declared war on the very idea of charging drivers to park their private property on publicly-owned streets. buff.ly/CwQawnq
