Who you would vote for

Where do you get the money to do all this?

FYI the New York transit system has been subsidized by the Federal Government for quite some time. Actually, subsequent to the passage of the Urban Mass Transportation Act (1964) which provided funds for modernization, and eventually leading to Federal funding for operating expenses starting in 1974. https://www.masstransitmag.com/mana...-to-federal-funding-for-public-transportation

Moreover, the NYC budget gets $9.7 Billion in Federal funding, but this has been "frozen" by the current Administration pending review and evaluation of spending. Some of the money has already been clawed back by the current Administration, and other funding is still under review.

OP-ED: Happy 56th birthday to federal funding for public transportation

Funding provided by the "Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964" is part of President Lyndon Johnson's legacy.

That leaves whatever City tax base and other funding options (licensing, permits, etc.) plus what the State government is willing to provide.

Ah so you want Democrats to lose. Gotcha.

I don't care about your silly political tribalism. But since you obviously care a lot about whether the Red Team or Blue Team captures the flag: One way or another, I'm sure a Democrat will be elected in NYC.

Somehow you're still at 129 posts per day, even including your little vacation.

Right, just your silly political tribalism which always leans Republican.

Lack of nuance will be the death of democracy more than trump ever could be.

Pretty sure the chances of a Republican getting elected as Mayor of NYC in this election are close to zero.

I would guess about the same odds as Trump had in the 2020 general election.

Here we are on page 7 post #157 with as of this post the poll showing 29 of the Forum members voting for the Moslem Socialist Mamdani representing the Democrat Party, and 19 voting for various other candidates.

I used to be a resident of NYC. Hopefully, the real election counting actual NYC voters will result in anyone other than Mamdani.

Seems like you're gonna be unhappy.
