Ask HN: Mamdani is poised to become new mayor of New York. How do locals feel?

Title says it all. I've been watching the story from afar. He's dynamic but his agenda to me comes as off as too idealistic and not grounded in the practical reality of how government really operates in terms of inertia and lack of incentive for long-term improvement.

But I digress. What I think doesn't matter. I'm curious to hear what locals make of this? Do you generally agree with his platform or disagree?

Why is that?
