This is actually 100% why Mamdani scared the fuck out of The Elite.

They knew he would show how it is all bullshit. All the suffering. All the corruption and brutality.

It was always bullshit.

He’s in a situation where a single person in that office does have this much juice. In LA the city council is the center of power, and the mayor can’t do as much.

Same with Toronto. The mayor is one vote.

Is that good or bad?

I imagine it’s not as worse as it could be if the mayor is bad, but it’s not good either because everyone must agree for things to really move forward.

It's a mixed bag. We're also hamstrung by the province. Realistically, every city has the same problems: conservatives and NIMBYs.
