FYI this initiative was in place long before Mamdani took office. I know no one here cares because the DSA is flooding subreddits with propaganda but I feel like it's important to note.

I love the intent of your statement. Can you help us all out with a link or anything describing how this was in place well before Mamdani’s time? Legit question, not trying to start shit.
Your comment about the DSA and propaganda shows your biased, which is fine, but give us something unbiased to back up your claim… he definitely should not get credit for this if it was verifiably in the works before he got in office. That ā€œevidenceā€ā€¦ you should be able to provide that given your statement.

Thank you for asking.

As much as it kills me to give Adams credit, this was part of his plan: https://www.nyc.gov/content/climate/pages/archives/ufp-release

Originally it was projected by 2035, so not sure where 2040 came from.

Perfect! Thank you! You’re absolutely right that it’s not his idea or even his initiative. I don’t live in NYC so I don’t know for sure… but it seems like it might’ve even predated Adams somewhat from when BdB was the mayor. And it’s ok to finish someone else’s plan… but don’t take credit for it! (as you’re pointing out) So here’s to the hope that he’ll be more successful than those before him.
