For nonviolent offenses? No, people shouldn't be jailed indefinitely for those.

Good. Prosecute your case properly.

Again, good. No one should be sitting in jail for months without a trial for a low-level misdemeanor just because they aren't rich enough

If they have a rap sheet a mile long with a history of violent crimes I'm fine with keeping them locked up. Remember many of those crimes have already been reduced to lesser violations anyway. If you've been arrested 35 times and have 8 violent convictions on your record you've proven you cannot behave properly in society with the rest of us.......... I can't think of a reason to keep letting them victimize people.

No he isn't. He's a real deal Communist.

I saw a story on Fox Business or CNBC (don't remember which) that there are now more financial firms in Texas than NYC. If the Commie gets elected, watch that exodus accelerate.

Those New Yorkers don't know what they don't know until they see it for themselves. A friend in Nashville tells me that they are coming there and buying high rise apartments in downtown Nashville and are giddy at the prices (which have skyrocketed)

Does the term financial firm include check cashing, wire transfers, and rent to own?

I'm sure it has but doesn't mean doubling down is a good idea. I don't live in NYC so i don't really care either way

Free pre K has been an enormous success, and rent stabilization applies to many apartments across the city and isn't something to "double down" on, that makes no sense

please,
You can't see the two sides as anywhere near equivalent.
Far more righties are invested in making cities look horrible than lefties are in making rural life look horrible.

I bet the social media bs is at least 20 to 1. It's pathetic how easily the right has allowed themselves to be manipulated.
And continues to do so.

There is no where near a 50/50 balance.

In the past, you always hoped that the stupid vote would be split 50/50....and it was usually pretty close.

not any longer

The left blames and tries to legislate everyone, the rural right just wants to be left the **** alone.

NYC has a 25% poverty rate, double national average, and is like15K per year, which is an astoundingly low income. Another 35% make less than 60K, which is not even liveable income anywhere, but particularly in such a high price city. The wealth gap is huge.

As higher tax base leaves, gonna be a real struggle for NYC gov. These social safety programs will will attract even more low income people. Quite a cycle.

The higher tax base "leaving" is a myth, it's the opposite

The right is currently trying to regulate everything from speech to college football transfer rules, be f***ing for real

What speech are you going to lose? Transfer portal needs to be regulated because the NCAA has been destroyed. When the libs jammed NIL through and doubled down on broadcast revenue sharing, you got what you have now. Don't complain, you asked for it.

Public housing exists in almost every city, and his proposal is mostly about removing red tape. How is that communism

How much of a "success" is section 8 housing the last 50 years BTW?

Also, your naive candidate thinks he can raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy in the city, because he has no idea how laws work

That's what you said lmao, you went from "want to be left alone" to "needs to be regulated" in approximately 0.1 seconds

You dont think it does? College football is so far from meaningful legislation it isn't even funny. But hey, if your arguments are so weak that's all you got, I can't help you.

Over the past several years Wall Street has done a lot of hiring outside of NYC, Chicago, and the other major financial centers, and it isn't only for back office-type roles either. I think the phenomenon is better described as Wall Street choosing to grow their business in other areas as opposed to leaving the major centers of finance (the big players all still have gigantic presences there). Which isn't great for those centers, but their imminent demise is overstated, I think.

Did you read Liar's Poker? If so remember how Michael Lewis talked about how the traders used the phrase "equities in Dallas" to describe as a low-level, undesirable, miserable, grunt-type job? That phrase wouldn't really make sense anymore if used today.

Free pre-K and rent-stabilized apartments have existed in NYC for several years now (several decades in the case of the latter). It's just conservatives not understanding this city or what words mean and whining about it

How does rent controlled/stabilized apartments work in NYC? Is similar to tax credit properties in other places or do the owners get direct reimbursement from the city?
