What you're talking about is more under the comptroller's purview, and both Brad Lander and Scott Stringer did take steps to crack down on fossil fuels while in office.

A fair point! I was trying to narrow the focus to what the mayor has direct policy over.

Spotted at a bar in Sunset Park

I was just curious about the law

I'm just using the language that's most common here to describe what the law says -- i.e. from a legal standpoint the police don't care if you're homeless or if you're just some guy who happens to want to pitch a tent in Central Park. But what do you think is the better terminology in this case?

Is camping outside legal? I will say, it is always a striking feature when you go out West and see that. Camping is illegal in New York, unfortunately that's enforced through either arrest or forcing people into the totally underfunded and unsafe shelters

That's really helpful. I understood the Mamdani of the Midwest stuff to be mostly about a democratic socialist (I'm sure the Muslim/East African immigrant background was part of it too, though I know Fateh is a native-born American). But what you said makes sense.

yeah that definitely makes me appreciate the public funding more

Hahaha I guess that's the case. I also just remember when there was a news cycle about it being the queerest city in the country

forgive me, I'm a native New Yorker so I didn't realize this but I appreciate the explanation! Everyone else responding to this was so bad faith about an earnest question

Super interesting. This is great work. Thanks for sending!

I don't! That's why I was asking!

Fair enough! wasn't trying to make it my business but I was curious for the national narrativization about NYC's election

Very interesting. Did not know this
