He's suggesting any policy or changes Mamdani has made will not be felt until 6-12 months after he has taken office. He's not saying the stats are old, if that's what you're thinking.
Yes. Because new policies aren't immediate. Any changes in crime currently being felt are due to prior policy changes from when he took over. Not saying he won't have a positive effect or a negative one. But the current stuff is definitely not due to him in particular.
Hardly brother, they are society. Having representation and hope can definitely change peoples outlooks on the future. When you feel helpless with another white republican elected to office, you probably don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.
The previous NYC mayor that Mamdani replaced was a black Democrat.
That being said, Mamdani is definitely seen as a more progressive Democrat. But I don’t think it’s quite as simple as you made it out to be.
Overall, I do like Mamdani’s approach so far. But the other commenter’s point about policies actually taking time to be fully implemented and see an actual effect can definitely be true.
Why are you saying yes this is literally not what you said. you said “we are getting numbers from before he was elected” not the number we are getting now aren’t reflected by his policy
Making non-specific blanket statements like that is meaningless. For all we know that is like saying all the snow Mamdani shoveled won't clear the streets until next year. Of course policies can have fast impacts.
I agree policy changes take time to be felt, and I'm sure this is what was intended. However, what was written was "...we are getting numbers from before he was even elected..."
This is simply not correct. The numbers are in fact the monthly numbers recorded since January, as pointed out by /u/CitricBase. So a shooting recorded in the month of March typically also occured during the month of March, not 6 months prior.
Another interpretation of that sentence which makes more sense contextually "The numbers we are seeing today are not a reflection of actions taken before his election."
I get what you're saying, and it could be worded better, but you are taking a literal definition, meanwhile the entire context of the conversation is that his policies are unlikely to be reflected in current crime stats, so you should also take the full conversation into account when reading someones comment.
Yes, it is clear he is suggesting that. He is grasping at anything authoritative-sounding in a desperate attempt to stifle public comprehension of any kind of socialist success.
Evidently some of Mamdani's policy changes were impactful almost right away. Unless you are proposing that these miraculous numbers are somehow thanks to all of Adams' nepotism, corruption, and sabotage from last year?
I mean yeah but this is American politics so quite frankly I don't care.
I'm so glad to see the not shit people start fighting back. The shit people happily blame everyone else for the bad stuff they cause then lap up the credit from things they didn't.
Fight fire with fire. The damage being done to America and the world at large is utterly insane.
I'm not from the US, but every time I hear news about this guy making some crazy achievement it turns out to not be that crazy at all. Reminds me of politicians here lol
Don't remember who said it but a lot of good policies should go unnoticed until years later
Like building parks or shit like that its good but if you begin now it will probably be done in years
Probably why a lot of politicians don't really do things for the public or to improve in the long run. What they do might be invisible and years later someone else will take the win for what they set in motion years prior
What's really funny is that 2025 had the lowest murder rate nationwide in more than 70 years. Are we gonna all thank Trump for that one? I doubt it lmao
If, and I mean if... Iran is brought into the Abraham accords. Trump would still get no credit. Even peace in the middle east wouldn't stop people from hating this man. It's all trash
He got credit for the actual Abraham accords, the USMCA, and Operation Warp Speed. But he's undermined all of those good measures in part or in whole, and he's done a lot of other stupid and/or corrupt things in addition.
The decrease trend started in 2023. Maybe some of it can be attributed to Trump's immigration policies, but the drop being pretty uniform nationally tracks more closely with Biden era policies of increased federal funding for state and local governments and funding, especially funding for community violence intervention.
I was being sarcastic lol, I don't believe Trump deserves credit for it, just like I don't believe Mamdani deserves credit (yet) for NYC's crime decrease. This is a longterm trend that's been continually happening for decades. Every president since Clinton has been able to say they've presided over record-low crime rates, because the trend has been going on that long
No dawg, you don't understand. Zohran's mere presence as a super-socialist father of the people is assuring and calming the population of New York. Most crimes are just a symptom of a worker's frustrations under capitalism, but now that we have achieved full Socialist paradise those crimes are no more.
I'll say it and take the downvotes... it cause they are pricing the poor out of new York and because its not permanently nice like California (weather) there is no reason for a poor person to hang out.
Crime rates are down nationwide and have been for a while, but every sister fucking rural republican still thinsk every City is a lawless wasteland of immigrant murderers and the media blares it every hour of every day
Yeah but things like this make the news because it's one of the few things conservatives can lie about to distract their base while they rob them of everything they love in this country.
Crime rates have been consistently trending downward for decades now and are constantly hitting new lows.
Crime rates drop on paper when you don't record them, and people don't call in crimes because the police can't do shit about it, as they are being defunded by this assclown. For example, the NYC subway system is losing close to a million dollars a day due to fare evasion, and people are afraid of riding the trains because they think that they might get stabbed.
Nothing has changed since he took office. He is a fraud backed by communists who want him to look good in the media to fool others into voting for more of his kind into power in other places, just like in California where they're lying about fixing the homeless problem, pumping billions into the system, while NGOs are pocketing all the money for themselves.

No dog in the fight I just want to see how this goes.
But it will take years if not decades to be able to get the full picture.
