@Strandjunker@mstdn.social There are people with wealth and influence who use the bureaucracy to interfere with the mayor getting things done. Those people opposed Mamdani during the campaign and were proven the weaker. Mamdani owes them nothing, so they have no power. (At the moment; they’re never gone for good.)

@brianb@fosstodon.org My barn is old, so the solar company told me I’d have to replace the roof and sister the rafters before they’d install panels. Nothing wrecks a benefit/cost analysis faster than that.
