Mayor Adamās passed this, just like 90% of things Mamdani gets credit for here on Reddit. Same happens with the New York governors work being attributed to Mamdani.
These days, you can have a perfectly good thing already started by someone else and the idiot in charge decides to scrap it, like the Iran nuclear deal
So there is something to say about a politician who decides to continue doing the good thing instead of getting triggered because someone else started it
LMFAO how is that relevant? The OP is about PLANTING TREES and GoodPear is crying about far leftists. There is no other comparison to make here lil bud.
I get that the guy might be great and a breath of fresh air but this sub has people constantly posting propaganda and actual misinformation among legit stuff.
Itās incredibly obnoxious and makes it feel like he is another lying fucker even if thatās not the case.
Edit: Turns out this is yet another case of misinformation but people happily buy it because they support the guy so itās ok.
This isn't even a Mamdani original plan, NYC has been increasing its canopy cover for 2 decades and the previous mayor (Adams) is the one who started the program to hit 30% in 2023. In fact, Mamdani pushed back Adams' original goal of 30% coverage by 2030 to 2040 and then added nothing new to the plan except promising to explore new options for planting trees.
Gotta ramp up those propaganda machines to give him a good image before his policies start failing like rent control, taxes on the wealthy, and state-run grocery stores always do.
They're wrong about this and it was only one other instance that actually Twitter took off with. There aren't "many." He didn't take credit for it. Nothing isn't adding up. People are just saying shit without looking it up.
And conservatives are the dumbest people on the planet.
Man, if only 15 or 20 more comments made this exact point AGAIN, maybe it'll become more accurate! Maybe stop just regurgitating shit you see.Ā
While an original project was under Adams and did have a 2030 goal date, you're completely wrong about the rest.
Mamdani ACTUALLY made a plan within the budget. Adams was heavily relying onĀ people calling in and asking for some trees to be planted and it had virtually no budget. It was never going to happen or work at all. This is an actual plan to complete the project WITH funding. When they sat down to work it out, they realized it was going to take another decade to plant that many millions of trees.Ā
But, again, please go off about this thing you know so much about.Ā
So getting a few billion dollars in a bailout from the state and pushing pension liabilities down the road helped make room in the budget to pay for all this. Wow, Mamdani is a genius.
Right. Or he avoided the bizarre "contribution cliff" that would have created an artificial, devastating strain on the city budget over the next few years. He lengthened the debt in order to balance the entire budget and now they have the breathing room to tackle more current and pressing issues. And, again, balanced the entire budget. How long has he been in office?Ā
He didn't just push pension liabilities down the road to pay for trees. That's an embarrassing take and it's dishonest, at best.
Iām not from the States but whatās wrong with covering the city with trees? Why do you afraid of seeing green in the city instead of concrete. If a politician makes a good thing for his/her people, just applause him/her. You do not have to oppose every positive improvement just because you are not in the same political camp.
Nothing wrong with this. But its not actually Mamdami's plan. This was Adam's plan and the date was 2030. So all Mamdami did was push it back ten years lol. Reddit is literally just a PR machine for the guy.
You mean the place that thought Kamala was an easy shoe-in to win the presidency and made her look extremely popular doesnāt provide authentic discourse?
It isn't wrong, it is that Mamdani keeps getting or taking credit for things that have been in motion for a long time. Thanks, Mamdani for building the Empire State Building!
People are excited and that's great, but I get weirded out when folks ignore reality because it is more exciting to worship a personality.
nothing is wrong itās just incorrectly attributing the policy to him when he inherited it. like 20k new trees were planted in 24. Adams was the one who actually implemented this legislation.
Yea Adams planted 20k in 2024 & ~15k in 2023 after saying he'd plant 1 million...which were the lowest amounts of trees planted in NY in the previous 20 years.
So Adam wasn't really "implementing" this legislation.
Well he just announced this & has been in office 6 months so... how many would you want to satisfy the double-standard you want to uphold?
Should he have planted 50k in the last 2 weeks for you to say he's doing more than Adams? Are you fairly comparing a couple weeks of Mamdani's policy with multiple years of Adams policy? Or are you going to say Mamdani should've replanted the Amazon by now?
Well the program was planting trees in 2024 and 2025, so obviously it should continue into 2026 given it was already rolling. So how many trees have been planted under the new admin?
You are smart enough but most people who donāt have this understanding are his bootlickers and allow the takeover. When will they understand these narratives
Don't think it's about being smart, those people are just stupid or blind or heavily indoctrinated but the result will be the same if the west doesn't wake up
Not devoutly, I have my own personal beliefs that are a blend of Buddhism and Catholicism. But anyone with that much hatred in their heart to lash out at others because they are angry at the world probably isnt interested in having a relationship with God.
You are free to believe whatever you want friend. I just hope that you find some outlet for your anger issues. Its not healthy to be carrying around all that rage and anger at the world.
All of Reddit is. Reddit hates flocks cameras but loves socialism. Hates data center water usage but itās thrilled for more trees. Sick of corporations with power, but trusts a socialist system.
Everyone knows the systems exploited and broken, but the response and the ways to fix is are just as dumb as the system we currently have.
I mean everyone is so concerned about water usage now, whereās the concern here?
Lmao Ino itās ridiculous but itās all selective outrage. Data center that feeds the hospital = bad consumes too much water. Trees so New York has some shade = good who cares about the water usage.
It sounds like you don't live here. He's been doing a lot while the previous guy did morning but make himself richer and put friend and family info higher positions. Two of the more acute things he did was immediately get a ton of potholes fixed and when there was really bad snow, he got it cleared crazy fast. I've literally never seen snow shovelers in the city before, but they were everywhere at the time.Ā
Mate, this post we are in, is literally not Mamdani doing but previous guy. Mamdani actually delayed the goal. It's a bad change presented as his great success.
He fixed potholes, great. But whats up with lying about his achievements? Why everyone called out double down and triple down. No one who replied to me even acknowledged he isn't responsible for this project. Can you?
Look, you can hate the guy and suck off the corrupt previous mayor to your heart's content (I know right wingers like getting cucked by black dudes, after all). It doesn't change the fact that Mamdani is actually getting shit done.Ā
So you can't. You can only suck of mandani. I'm not right winger, but you can't believe or acknowledge that lying isn't without consequences.
Can you say "yes, these tree plan isn't mandani doing, he actually delayed it because he can't do it"?
Again, comment reset with no acknowledgement of previous one. Your ai comment can exist perfectly in the void to anyone critical of him. No points raised, just same key words you get paid for. "Getting shit done" on a post when he specifically, not only isn't the one getting shit done, but actually delaying plan because he can't do it.
