The idea of a city that's built on capitalism being run by somebody who demonstrably does not believe in it, and not just doesn't believe in it, but wants to fundamentally change it, is a fascinating development in our city.
I think the bigger questions, though, that are are animating the likes of, you know, some of the hedge fund managers and some of the most outspoken wall streeters that you hear actually have have nothing to do, oddly enough, with, you know, free buses and you know, free groceries.
I don't think that's what this is about.
I think that this is actually about something very different.
I think this is about policing and safety in the city.
And whether he is going to not just keep um, you know, Commissioner Tisch in charge, but you know, how he's going to reallocate resources around policing in this city.
And I think we have lived in this city and had lots of problems over the last five years.
Uh, the pandemic really exacerbated it.
We also had a lot of laws change that made, you know, common thievery, you know, um
Something that doesn't even get prosecuted in large part.
So I think there's a big question about that.
I think it starts with with that.
I think there's this this question about anti-Semitism, to be honest with you, is a real question.
I think that's like a real, legit question that people, I'm Jewish, that people have in this city about what does he actually believe and how is that going to manifest itself over the next couple of years in the city.
And then I and then I think, you know, I know people talk about taxes and people think he's he's not gonna be able to raise tax w the tax thing I think is almost uh a red herring uh to to sort of just a larger question about can he manage the city.
I think that's actually another big piece of this, which is to say he's a young man, he's thirty-three.
A lot of people are super excited about him as a politician, um and what he's what he represents and speaks.
Speaks to in terms of the big ideas around affordability and the like.
But when it comes to actually the practical day-to-day of actually like managing a city when it's pretty clear that he's never done anything like that.
And to the extent that he's managed things in this role as an assemblyman, that he wasn't even like doing the job half the time.
