3% of lander votes going to cuomo vs 4% to zohran?

i mean, i am not in charge of zohran's campaign so i cannot personally speak for him. but imo it's much easier to sell people on the idea of free buses versus something like expanding the subway.

i see free buses as a starting point, not the end goal. i'll just quote from your own post - people can imagine not paying for the bus! maybe you think it's stupid, but politics is *about* imagination and to a lot of people it's a powerful re-imagining of what the government can be or accomplish.

I'm trying to engage in good faith: I don't see how that's an relevant comparison? why does the entire MTA operating budget matter? the MTA revenue from buses was $620M in 2023, the Parks Department budget in 2025 was $618M.

not in nyc! and nobody is making the case that we should!

isn't that just an argument for running more buses though? my point is that we clearly see parks as a public good that we are happy to invest tax dollars in. why not the same for buses?

what's the difference between buses and say, public parks? why are buses seen as *needing* dedicated streams of revenue, but not parks? i understand the fear around this, but isn't there something to be said about the shifting of the public mindset about what is or isn't a public good?

what in the world is she doing?

Politico has been riding hard against Zohran for a while now

oh right - i got it confused with mitchell's. that's unfortunate, i didn't know cheryl's was also anti-redesign.

ah, i thought you meant a restaurant on underhill. FWIW i think all the restaurants on the street are in favor of the redesign!

which restaurant is this?
