The city has been waiting a very long time for this guy, who just looks around and sees dumb shit and is like "Hey we should fix that"

Despite being a socialist he thinks like a smart businessman, identifying 'pain points' in how the city is run and fixing them.

The more successful he is, the harder they'll come after him. Expect some lame fake scandals soon

There was a management book written some sixty years ago that asserted every CEO needs a VP whose job is to find things that need to stop, stand in the middle of a room, and yell "HORSESHIT!" over and over until the thing that needs to stop is stopped.

John Wilson should definitely be a consultant to the NYC mayor, probably forever

Scaffolding is New York city.
Isn't it just part of the 'fabric' of the city... I wonder how many million cubic meters of scaffolding NY has...

The first mayor in... how many decades?... who speaks and governs as though his constituency is NYCers (and not everyone but NYCers).

Every time Mamdani is in the news I’m like a 2-yr-old β€œWHY CAN’T I HAVE THAT? They get one! Where’s mine??”

Not to ruin the fun but this originates in a plan championed by the hated and disgraced former mayor Eric Adams www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2025/04/mayor-adams-signs-historic-legislation-get-sheds-down-remove-unsightly-scaffolding-across

It didn't originate with Adams. The difference is Mamdani seems to genuinely care about getting things like this done, so we think he just might.
