@willthomas-usa.bsky.social I feel like this must be incredibly triggering - dressing up Hudson County as Long Island City for a film shoot.

There were pretty big flubs on both sides - McGreevey has been getting basic details on stormwater management wrong for months (e.g., this is from June), while Solomon did here about Bayfront. I want to talk about the core of the debate though, which is Solomon's AFH plan.

Saw this bad boy right near the Nassau border. Legalize it.

Does anyone have worse political instincts than this guy? You can thank his union if we finally get the stupid turnpike extension killed.

Crazy that this part of Jamaica, Queens is denser than Los Angeles, and most American cities.

Here's the slides on fare gates. I'm no fan of turnstile hoppers, but the incidence rate is low. The real problem is the wide gates get stuck open and literally hundreds of people get in at a time without paying.

NY sure is scared of doing anything to upset Staten Island drivers.

Worth it, but FIX THE WIDE FARE GATES THAT GET STUCK ALL THE TIME. That might make up the deficit just there.

That's considered a weak correlation, but might be enough to get you published in some social sciences. I think this chart illustrates it well. Black voters hated Jack, and it doesn't really track in C/D, but downtown and in the white parts of A/B, it tracks pretty well.

@alonlevy.bsky.social Googling random Knesset members after a news story about them is a trip.

And finally, TINA NALLS. She ran on Team Ali, and Mussab powered her strongest districts. She clearly does have real organic appeal on the south side though. Unfortunately, Nalls asked the city council a few months ago to ban by-right development :/

For Team McGreevey, you can clearly see Burns does a little bit better in Port Liberte and downtown, and that's enough for her over Nieves and Jennise.

Finally, at-large itself. Here's Griffin, Lavarro, and Singh. The coalitions are slightly different - Bergen Hill, Greenville, and Wards C/D - but clearly they all just were powered by Solomon coat tails.

Here's the damning summary table. Solomon's at-large slate had 32% of the at large vote. McGreevey fell off by 5%, while O'Dea went a little under, and Ali a little over (because of Nalls.) There are so many disengaged McGreevey voters, and that's a bad sign for the runoff.

I have to play with the color schemes a bit to make these more legible, I apologize for that. In contrast, you can see that while Solomon underran his at large slate in a few O'Dea/Ali-friendly districts, and had some falloff on the south side, by far he had the best coat tails.

Speaking of outrunning - KZH and Rivera actually outran O'Dea in parts of downtown! On the other hand, O'Dea voters didn't always go for his ticket on the south side, and in his Lincoln Park base.

To illustrate how crazy this was, I looked at Solomon/McGreevey/O'Dea fallout for at large by precinct. Here's McGreevey, where contentious downtown voters actually don't have a ton of fallout, but it basically cost his slate on the south side.

This is the partisan vs. progressive divide. What do Brian Stack's new fans do when they realize he wants to spend his political capital on electing McGreevey?
