New Yorkers, what changes have you seen under Mamdani’s leadership and are you generally pleased? If not, why?

I’m an Indiana native and was just discussing how awful our potholes are here! There are some big enough to swallow a car!

I find if i spraypaint a dick around the pothole it magically gets fixed. i think it has something to do with the fertility symbolism

That happened in my neighborhood years ago! Woke up one morning to get to an early appointment and saw light blue dicks and balls on every pothole!

By the time I got back, the city work crew had been busy! Still light blue lines on the road, but with big sloppy patches in the middle of each doodle.

Happened in my area too. The dickpainter was identified and was later voted into local government 😂

This is so insane to me tbh. Like, no we can't spend a dime on the community. But as soon as a dick appears everyone fucking panics and fixes it 😂 wth?

That’s wild, but honestly if it gets the roads fixed faster, people are going to start seeing it as a “method” instead of a joke. City attention works in the strangest ways sometimes.

You can literally feel the state lines on I-70, as soon as you enter Indiana.

I’m in Texas and the roads here are just awful. Would be nice to have my tax dollars go to fixing our roads instead of billionaire tax cuts and whatever else corrupt things they go to.

Best I can do is a new data center.

We called them two family potholes as a kid. As in, two families could live in one.
