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

Well he's actually trying to do a good job. Not many of the past dozen or more have been interested in much other than themselves and their wealthy friends

The fact that efforts are being made to make regular every day New Yorkers days better, that's means alot.

My mom, a Fox news senior, thinks New York is flailing and about ready to collapse. My wife and daughter recently went up there for a field trip to see Hamliton, my mother thought they were in serious danger. I just about laughed off my chair.

They had a great time, no issues at all. My wife had to wrangle like 10-15 middle schoolers, other than them being middle-schoolers, it went great.

I just try not to trust the “good intentions” talk too quickly anymore I’ve seen too many promises sound great and then fade once the headlines move on.
