🚨 At the U20 Mayors Summit, Mamdani Says the Left Has Ceded “Quality of Life,” “Efficiency,” and “Fraud and Waste” to the Right
This was one of the more interesting arguments Zohran Mamdani made today at the U20 Mayors Summit, and a reminder that he can be genuinely sharp when he drops the “central casting” routine.
“In New York City, there are certain words that have taken on ideological associations.”
“Quality of life has come to be seen as somehow a right-wing concern. Efficiency… has been taken on as a right-wing concern, rooting out fraud and waste, a right-wing concern.”
Mamdani’s argument is that refusing to engage those issues actually helps the Right.
“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’”
The harder question is how much of the broader Left is actually prepared to follow the advice.

Transit agencies have one purpose: Move people safely at scale. They are not:
- A jobs program.
- A chance to sell new tech, new fuel, American vehicles etc.
- Social services or housing
- A way to fund non-transit infrastructure
- A political project
One job: Move people.

This is why barely anyone dances at clubs or gets really excited in public or really tries to express themselves other than online.
Some antisocial person with a smart phone is on standby, ready to capitalize on it for clout or a dollars of revenue sharing.

Hundreds of people with $3-5 million homes in the second most expensive city in the hemisphere gather to put a stop to “greedy developers” building a tower with hundreds of $1.5 million “luxury condos” that will each pay 5x more property tax than them.
Hundreds of #SanFrancisco Marina residents turned out this evening for townhall on controversial @Safeway housing plan, which would place what for many is an uncomfortably tall, 22 & 18 story project at the low-slung neighborhood’s waterfront.
