Fun fact, the only governor actually impeached in NY ran afoul of the grand masters of corruption Tammany Hall, and got thrown out because of it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Sulzer Extra fun fact, even though the investigation was started under shady reasons, turned out shenanigans were had with his campaign funds and gambling the money, supposedly by his wife but who knows! It's corruption all the way down! Never change, New York.

How'd Adams even get elected? Every time I see him on TV he's just a complete freakshow that I couldn't imagine him running an office, much less a city.

Something like 10% of eligible voters vote in the mayoral primary, so if you have good GOTV you can take it easily. Also the other candidates didn't make good use of RCV.

Also the other candidates didn't make good use of RCV. It was basically a shitshow primary with the first time New Yorkers ever had to do ranked choice voting. WAY too many candidates came out and there was a lot of cannibalization. Adams won a lot of nonwhite working class votes while Garcia and Wiley ended up dividing all the progressives. Other candidates who could have been frontrunners (like Scott Stringer) got hamstrung by scandals too. Adams, to no one's surprise I suppose, also won the black vote fairly handily. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-eric-adams-won-the-new-york-city-mayoral-primary/ In the general election, the GOP ran this guy and he had his own baggage from his quasi-vigilante past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Sliwa

They love him. Every subway station in the city now has 2-4 cops looking at their phone collecting insane overtime. Plus he gave them the authority to institutionalize anybody who looks poor w/o needing to arrest or process them.

So I think I just realized the real reason they city passed this stupid as gently caress garbage has to go out at 8pm law. Its so that the homeless and desperately poor that pick over the recycling have to do it under cover of darkness so as to not be an "eye sore"

Like people forget about the time when he was BP and called a press conference to show a dozen reporters a bucket of 50 waterlogged dead rats while he rambled incoherently about rats. He thought that was a totally normal thing stable genius leaders do.

‘Open’ or shut case: NYC hit with federal ADA lawsuit seeking to end Open Streetsquote:A dozen New Yorkers with disabilities have filed a federal lawsuit against the city, claiming that its Open Streets program violates the Americans With Disabilities Act, with the hope of scuttling the program.

KomradeX posted:‘Open’ or shut case: NYC hit with federal ADA lawsuit seeking to end Open Streets quote:However, the placement of metal police barricades across Berry Street discourages delivery trucks from driving down the street to make deliveries. Instead, these large trucks frequently park in front of the barricades while the delivery-person makes deliveries throughout the block. As a result, the entire street – and thus the mandatory 15 foot emergency lane – becomes completely obstructed. Furthermore, the original two barricades proposed are now increased to three barricades at many intersections. Upon information and belief, Berry Street is an emergency route, making such obstructions even more dangerous. You'd think the problem is delivery trucks blocking the street but no, the problem is an anti-car cabal that has fastened its grip on the new york city government.
