IMO this race is all vibes and not much substance - very, very little meaningful difference between the two. Hence the weird dancing that Lander is already doing.
The primary between outgoing Brad Lander and Rep. Dan Goldman was widely expected to be a bellwether race that would test the strength of pro-Israel sentiment within the Democratic Party.
But nearly a week after announcing his challenge, Lander is so far tiptoeing around such differences.

Near me, the only streets/sidewalks getting cleared well are the ones private landlords are responsible for. The ones where it's the city/homeowners are in various stages of neglect.

Friend from NY visited yesterday, we mostly walked around downtown with a tiny detour to Hoboken. Spent a lot of time talking about how Hoboken near the PATH looks like a bombed out hellscape, and how it needs to look like Jersey City instead.

Because the state of Connecticut doesn’t want to provide rail service to Norwich, they claim it would cost around $650 million to provide 13.6 miles of rail service.
I propose it can be 3x the length and cost $140 million to do.

I did some napkin math here. Last night, the permit section on the right was 100% full. The daily section was 50% full. There are 388 permit spaces here, of 1270 total. That means slightly more than ~800 cars, depending on how representative yesterday was.
