Subject: Re: I Grok Schlock
I, for one, don't particularly want him to win - although I wouldn't particularly want either Adams or Cuomo to win, either. I think many of Mamdani's topline proposals are pretty lousy and/or are promises he has no ability to keep. Free buses are a terrible idea from a basic transit perspective, state-run groceries are a terrible idea even from the perspective of the people he's putatively trying to help, and rent control has a pretty poor track record of delivering affordable housing to more people. I don't think he's got the resources to deliver on his public housing promises, and he is unlikely to get Hochul to provide him either with the resources or the higher taxes that he would need in order to pull that off.

Thanks for that.

BTW - your basic legal lesson about how courts can only rule on what's in front of them actually made it into a Supreme Court concurrence :). Did you see that?
