lol at "the affluent have left and they're not coming back" cited as a reason the city has supposedly gone downhill

I laughed so hard at that. It came up as an ad for me on Facebook and I just had to watch the whole to be like what the gently caress is this. And it's just small business owners and a cop acting like it's the 70s all over again. My favorite part was complaining about the litter, like NYC has never had trash all over its streets before

Like here in LA we’ve got some recent billboard campaign about how “We Gobba Do Something About Homelessness” and you check out the website it’s all about making the city presentable before the Olympics

If the affluent have left, does that mean sub-median income working people can afford rent in Washington Heights again?

Edit: Potentially good news from upstate: Judge has thrown out Rensselaer County's pathetic excuse for a Troy-area early voting center and demands they find a better location within 48 hours.

I wonder if part of the reason you're not getting the Big Apple's best is that being mayor is essentially being the governor's scapegoat.

That and maybe everyone realized that historically mayor of NYC is not a very good career stepping stone

What's the latest on the Cuomo allegations anyway? Still under investigation, no announcements yet?

Seems like it's making budget progress, at least: Bill to fund Cuomo impeachment to pass early this week (Times Union).

It’s legal as the owner to live in that weird basement and rent out the upper levels that are proper apartments. It would be illegal to rent out that weird basement on its own to anybody else.

Yeah the mayoral candidates suck and the next mayor is gonna be at least as bad as the last...4?

Does a majority progressive city council+comptroller+public advocate have any true countering power?

Every time I see a judicial election the Democrat and Republican are the same person so I just stopped voting

Look up what races you have and scan the bios or the one outlet covering the races. There's usually a couple shitheads candidates and one person who's okay with good experience and endorsed by a non-awful elected.

Judges are also states offices so no need to RCV which is a small mercy.
