Many are saying I am prescient

I’m right here Kelsey!

Not only did Shahana Hanif win, but she easily won in the parts of the district closest to the rezoning where she pissed off local NIMBYs (EDs 31-36). They're all talk! enr.boenyc.gov/CD26925AD443...

Closing down the blocks in front of schools to cars is such a no-brainer on a policy level, but would likely trigger a community board thermonuclear war.

Lander should be First Deputy Mayor IMO

This is true and it cuts both ways IMO: He will need competent progressives who normally wouldn’t touch City govt with a 10-foot pole, and he will need competent progs who are already in City govt to help him manage it. Activist/organizer mindset has to cede ground to actually delivering the goods.

weird that running a disgraced sex pest who killed more New Yorkers than Bin Laden was a bad idea

LOS ANGELES - In partnership with the City of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Dodgers have committed $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region. The Dodgers and the City of Los Angeles have a proven ability to get financial resources to those in critical need, most recently seen in their efforts to aid victims of the January wildfires. Through our support of the city's efforts, the Dodgers will encourage those organizations in a similar position to use their resources to directly support the families and workers who have suffered economic hardship. In the coming days, the Dodgers intend to make additional announcements with local community and labor organizations, including the California Community Foundation, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and others who are directly supporting our communities to aid youth and families with food insecurity, basic essentials and mental health services. "What's happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected," said Stan Kasten, President & CEO, Los Angeles Dodgers. "We believe that by committing resources and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift the communities of Greater Los Angeles."

"We believe that by committing resources and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift the communities of Greater Los Angeles." "I want to thank the Dodgers for leading with this action to support the immigrant community of Los Angeles," said Karen Bass, Mayor of Los Angeles. "These last weeks have sent shockwaves of fear rippling through every neighborhood and have had a direct impact on our economy. My message to all Angelenos is clear: We will stick together during this time and we will not turn our backs on one another — that's what makes this the greatest city in the world."

The Dodgers announce they are donating $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region, with more announcements to come.

How much of Cuomo’s strength with older voters is just that they watch insane amounts of TV

He was not a competent governor or administrator but was very good at playing one on TV

I get the concerns about Mamdanis inexperience but a) that’s what RCV is for, you don’t have to rank him first, and b) even if I would prefer a more technocratic type of left/lib, Zohran has simply run the best campaign which is why he’s our best shot to win

"hey 35 to 50 year old newsreading liberals what was the run-up to the iraq war like" is the most precision crafted bait possible on this website

Same thing with the grocery stores tbh. Not an idea I think is likely to work but who cares, it’s a silly idea in a harmless way and the alternative is “Adams Pt 2 but without the good housing policy”

It’s really not a big deal guys

Me, a graduate of the Great Recession, around 2013: “Well that was awful, glad everybody agrees that we should do whatever necessary to avoid anything like it from happening again”

Me, in 2020-2024, listening to the boss class yakking on CNBC: “Uh”

Post-2020 backlash was IMO a combination of this and the first time in decades there was a genuinely tight labor market

Good morning

N.Y. is using this controversial idea to fight traffic, fund transit and bring life back downtown. S.F. can, too Every so often, policymakers are lucky enough to find a rare win-win that makes everyone better off. Congestion pricing is one of those ideas.

I have a piece in the @sfchronicle.com today about why San Francisco should copy New York's successful congestion pricing model to revitalize downtown: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Something I’ve been thinking about recently: When we talk about asking older people to stop driving, the thing we’re expected to be most sensitive to is their feelings of lost autonomy. As if it’s gauche to insist on other people’s right to live w/o being menaced by seniors operating deadly machines

This is just the Adams Administration/Adams DOT allowing "member deference" to apply to street design. The City Council has no formal power over this decision
