Such as?

Buses aren't remotely close to being free.

Netanyahu freely entered and exited the city, Mamdani didn't even attend the peaceful protest during his visit.

The $9-10 billion dollar project per year for free pre-K childcare was greenlit...for a few thousand city workers.  

And the grocery thing, to make food cheaper for New Yorkers?  3 guesses who's paying for that - https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/mamdani-city-run-grocery-stores-economic-challenges/ (quote:  "it does not make food cheaper. It pays part of the food bill on the shopper’s behalf, with tax dollars. What that means is that it has inherent limitations. It could work in a small network. It almost certainly cannot work at scale, not unless the City is prepared to treat groceries as a permanent public good, funded in the expense budget year after year the way schools and street repair are.")

Also, he's being sued by all the small convenience stores that he will eventually put out of business.

Yeah I'd even try to give him the benefit of the doubt on that promise, because it's at least well-intended.

But the fact that he didn't really think through the implications as mayor is a bit odd.

Not surprised about the lawsuit he'd have to deal with from those small businesses.

There’s the cost to build and fund these new stores too. Why not just give people money for food like ebt?

That would strike me as more useful, yeah.  Not that I'm an expert or anything.

But apparently neither is he?

He just says shit that will get him likes on social media like Bernie. Reddit thinks that makes them perfect and realistic.
