Mandami, the joys of socialism
The vile capitalistic winter came to NYC this week as it did to most of the Eastern Seaboard and the Southeast of the country. Unfortunately, NYC was one of the places where the joys of socialist government did not keep up with the demand of the capitalistic streets. The growing summits of hardened snow, plastic trash bags and other debris remain more than 10 days after the Big Apple got a foot of flakes that quickly turned to ice amid a potentially record-breaking deep freeze. Large piles of trash have been and still growing in the snow piled up at the curbs and around snow trapped parked cars in the Big Apple. The frustrating garbage collection delays had many New Yorkers trash-talking the city’s slow response, with Upper East Side residents particularly miffed as they looked at spotless sidewalks at Mamdani’s new home of Gracie Mansion. The largest trash pile in the tony neighborhood, an 8-foot mound of black trash bags along 79th Street near pristine Carl Schurz Park, where the stately mayoral mansion sits was cleaned up by last Monday.
Another mound of garbage even closer to the mansion remained. But other offensive junk clumps remained, including one on East 88th Street that ignominiously graced The New York Post’s cover Monday — and had even grown taller overnight. “Given that the same Sanitation Workers who pick up trash have been clearing the foot of snow and ice that fell last Sunday, we are about one day behind on collection, and we ask for patience from New Yorkers while we catch up,” a DSNY spokesperson. “We are prioritizing trash and compost — the stuff that can smell — over recyclables, but we are picking up all streams, all across the city, just on a slight delay. Most New Yorkers will recall that this is standard practice during and after winter weather events; years ago.
Mamdani vowed to discontinue the sweeps of homeless encampments where insane and drug addled people live in tents. This week, thirteen people were found dead on the streets of New York City, despite the Code Blue rescue plan issued by city leadership. Michael Goodwin argues that Mamdani ought to open the door of Gracie Mansion.
