Say one is getting consistent pushback on a bus fare suspension, how might a council that doesn’t control the transit authority force policy? Statute setting for transit requirements? Can budget allocations be based on free fare?

Since we’re in a housing public hearing about DADUs, I’ll share my DADU story.
The 1st place I lived on my own was a DADU. I LOVED that apartment, despite its shag green carpet. I lived there for 3 years, & rent was low enough that my federal loans covered rent, utilities, & law school tuition.

Also people can decide for themselves if they feel there is stigma, and they don’t want to participate. It shouldn’t be on us to decide for someone else if they feel stigmatized.

Our government is of the people, for the people and by the people. Yet the only people who can do anything about it - Republicans - have decided to not show up, to not pay people, to not feed people, and to not talk to people.

I am grateful for this! Thank you to all who made this a reality including tax payers!
A fare free transit option is a tremendous win and we can make it a reality for people who can’t afford to get to a specific place at a specific time. Grateful for friends like @themanaen.bsky.social and @nikkiv.bsky.social and what they’re doing in our community.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on making public transit accessible: "I think the way that you move around the city, it influences the way in which you see the city. Too often if you're riding around only in a car with tinted windows, the only New Yorker you might see is a reflection of yourself."

Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.
