      Public transit should be reliable, safe and universally accessible. But one in five New Yorkers struggle to afford the ever rising fare. Adding insult to injury: our city’s buses are the slowest in the nation, robbing working people of precious time for family, leisure and rest.

      Zohran won New York’s first fare-free bus pilot on five lines across the city. As Mayor, he’ll permanently eliminate the fare on every city bus – and make them faster by rapidly building priority lanes, expanding bus queue jump signals, and dedicated loading zones to keep double parkers out of the way. Fast and free buses will not only make buses reliable and accessible but will improve safety for riders and operators – creating the world-class service New Yorkers deserve.

      I’m announcing a plan to overhaul the mayor’s office to protect tenants bringing code enforcement Under One Roof and making sure that agencies are working together to hold bad landlords accountable

      starting on day one we will expand the city’s special enforcement programs

      • doubling fines for hazardous violations
      • tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous

      when a really bad landlord like this guy refuses to fix it the city’s going to step in make the repairs and send them the bill

      if that doesn’t work the city’s taking over the building

      we’re putting the worst landlords out of business

      and we’re going to transform 3-1-1 by bringing the latest and cutting edge Technology: scheduling appointments with inspectors so you actually know when they’re showing up to your apartment

      and the best part you’re [landlords] going to pay for this

      but actually bad landlords are going to pay for this

      we’re going to fund this expanded enforcement in the most obvious Way by actually collecting the fines and enforcing the violations the Adams Administration has spent 4 years ignoring

      everybody says housing is a human right let’s start acting like it

        Why are you bringing up colour?

        Canada saw a massive shift to the right in the last election

        A NYC mayor not being a nazi doesn’t mean Canada somehow is trending progressive

          they are very different political orientations and attitudes.

          one of the important ways that mamdani separates himself is that instead of following what polls say, he leads public opinion to get people on side with him. which is something the NDP is incapable of, to whatever extent they even agree on goals, which is not much. NDP totally lacks any ambition which is the point here.

          whatever you are trying to say about nazis it isn’t really helping you

            Great, so you have no clue what you’re talking about

            Pharmacare, dental, guaranteed housing were all ambitious

      Singh wants price controls on food. Mamdani wants publicly-owned grocery stores. They are not the same.

        I want a publicly owned version of everything. Utilities, internet, phone, school, housing, food, etc etc. We can do capitalism if we have to, but make corporations compete with an entity with a comparable distribution network whose main goal isn’t lining their pockets.

        Look at Saskatchewan. Lowest cell prices in the country because they have to compete with SaskTel, yet the big 3 still do fine. It works.
