Car-hater Ben Furnas has been appointed to Mamdani’s transition team for transportation, climate and infrastructure – and his agenda is a nightmare for the city’s drivers.

        fortunately mayors don’t make foreign policy.

        that makes it worse that he said anything about it at all, but it’s also hard to say it tangibly matters.

          A little different from “objectively cool and good,” though, right?

          Also that just excuses electing imperialists at any level lower than congress. American Socialism without internationalism is just making the camp busses run on time

            sorry for the ambiguity, i was contrasting the YIMBY appointee we were mad about last week with this Furnas guy apparently being good.

            Mamdani was and remains not revolutionary.
