I'm glad to see some unity on the Council, especially when it comes to addressing affordability. It's been a huge concern for many families like mine who are struggling to make ends meet . If Mamdani and Menin can work together to implement universal childcare and affordable housing, that would be a game-changer for so many families. I'm also intrigued by the idea of having social workers on mental health calls instead of police officers - it's about time we prioritize people's well-being over punishment . Fingers crossed they can make progress on these initiatives and actually get some real change done in our city!
OMG, so Mamdani is basically saying he'll work with whoever agrees on affordability lol just kidding sorta. Seriously tho, it's kinda weird how Menin got the speaker gig without him endorsing her in the election. Guess it shows the city values affordability over politics but what about the rest of his campaign promises? Are we gonna see a socialist mayor who's okay with moderate council members telling him what to do? I'm lowkey hyped tho 'cause universal childcare is a major win
I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE MAMDANI AND MENIN TEAMING UP ON AFFORDABILITY!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME WE STARTED TAKING ACTION ON SOME OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES FACING NEW YORKERS RIGHT NOW . I MEAN, WHO DOESN'T WANT FREE OR LOW-COST CHILDCARE AND A PLACE TO CALL HOME WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK?! MENIN'S AGREEMENT WITH MAMDANI IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND I'M KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT THEY'LL MAKE SOME REAL CHANGE . AND AS FOR THAT NEW DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, LET'S SEE HOW IT PANS OUT... COULD BE A GAME CHANGER FOR MENTAL HEALTH IN OUR CITY
so Mamdani finally acknowledges Menin as the next speaker and it's all about affordability I think this is a good sign for the city, but we gotta see how they actually work together . If they can make affordable housing a priority, that'd be awesome for people like me who are living paycheck to paycheck . But what about the rest of their plans? Like, what's up with the new Department of Community Safety? I'm all for social workers on mental health calls instead of cops, but Menin didn't seem too stoked about it . Fingers crossed they can make a real difference .
so mamdani and menin are on the same page about affordability thingy , but i wonder if menin will have any say when mamdani has his democratic socialist goals...
anywayz, council speaker role is like super important , so let's see how it all plays out
this is like, finally some unity on the city council? i'm all for affordability, it's crazy how expensive nyc is right now but what's got me excited is that mamdani and menin seem to be on the same page about tackling housing costs and childcare . it's not like they're going to magically solve everything overnight, but at least they're working together towards something positive
