New York City Comptrollers published similar concerns [1]. I suppose you could apply your point equally to NYC these days :-)

NYC puts the "c" in "catastrophic governance."

  • With their balanced budget and no social services cut?

    • What "balanced budget?" Mamdani got a massive bailout from the state of New York, and deferred pension payments.

      It's classic third worldism, made possible by a low-information electorate that not only can't do the math, but lacks instinctual skepticism of the idea of a free lunch. Chicago went down the same path, and found that these gimmicks work until they don't.
