The reality of North Korea punditry is that *very* few people *remotely* have an idea of what Kim Jong Un is up to, and even then, they haven’t had an informed take since probably 2019-20. Yet “experts” are asked to opine and speculate and it becomes headline news. Yes, the media fuels this, I know.

Common pattern when interpreting public input:
In a neighborhood of 10K+ people.
3 people complain about a bike lane = Most residents are against the bike lane
50 people say they want the bike lane = Cyclists are loud, they don't represent everyone

This is the most obvious thing I’ve ever said in a post, but renters are citizens of a city. Full citizens. Because of course they are. Anyone who suggests otherwise isn’t just clueless about the affordability struggles that cities face — they’re clueless about the essential reality of cities.
More than two thirds of New Yorkers are tenants. Andrew Cuomo compared them to hotel guests.
We need a Mayor who will bring our city together around an agenda to lower costs for everyone, whether they rent or own.

I've said it before, and will say it again: In refusing to combat the economic crises facing the working class, Democrats create opportunities for the Right to pretend to be the populists. This is an example of that.
