I think the 70 points underwater on invading Greenland should definitely prompt Congressional action to stop it then.

The commodore!

As a neighbor and longtime reader of your work, I'd welcome the chance to give you a little more detail offline on what is required to build new, affordable housing, and what the economics are of inclusionary development.

That said, I think your take on Fifth Avenue Committee is incorrect on both on the details and the broad scope, as they are building 100% affordable housing subsidized by the city and federal government according to the available programs. FAC has huge advocate for the public housing in Gowanus.

I appreciate the straightforward answer. I think we have very different views on what is driving the very high rents in his district and what is possible with requiring new development to help create income-limited affordable housing.

Hunter - Curious why you think he is full of it on affordable housing?

cracked hands?

It‘s Parliamentary, my dear Watson.

Disagree. It’s the car that Mission Impossible, the hero of the popular movie series Mission Impossible, would drive in a stunt scene.

Another less "obvious" result would be that local campaigns, which are publicly-funded and have an expenditure cap, would be competing against state and federal offices which do not have such a cap. This is in the most expensive media market in the country.

Not quite. The primaries would be in June with the state legislative and house races. Mayor would still be top of the ballot in primary unless there is a competitive US Senate primary.

Mazel tov!

Historically, folks don't like to throw their vote away and broad knowledge that a person is not actively campaigning tends to result in very few votes to those types of folks remaining on the balance.

Here I am stuck in the appleverse with you

possibly higher - mail-in ballots need to be counted.

NYC Dem Primary History

Full sheet for 1977-present here. Pieced this together from a few sources and there are probably errors so no pride of authorship docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Even the Green / Ferrer runoff (the fall of 4 elections) in 2001, Green only posted 404k votes. That was the only runoff in last 50 years where more folks showed up for the runoff than the primary (until RCV).

Went down this rabbit hole, curious what gross vote totals recent winners had posted, and it's like not even in the same league as Mamdani's 440k and counting. Adams 289k, de Blasio 2013 282k.

1989 is the better analogy though - Dinkins puts together a new, multi-racial coalition energized by a national campaign the previous year (Jesse Jackson) and takes out a scandal-ridden incumbent. Turnout levels not seen since. Decisive win by Dinkins carries him through a tense general election.

1977 - Koch decisively beats an incumbent mayor and Mario Cuomo, followed by a closer runoff with Cuomo and then a not-as-close general Election with Cuomo. Koch put together a new coalition of outer borough "ethnic whites" as they were labeled at the time and other moderates.

It's worth studying this chart closely. There are only really two templates for this high-turnout, change-oriented Democratic Primary in the last 50 years in NYC - 1977 and 1989.

let alone like New York City
