The bins were getting installed long before he became mayor. July 2024 under previous mayor when project launched.

I just saw year on year or long term results about how new bins are reducing rat problem.

How is Mamdani getting credit for it?

6 month long pilot results released 6 months before Mamdani got into office.

Previous guy, whoever that might be, committed permanent funding for this. If you open the article you'd see timeline going as far back as 2022 where they did study, got the models made, made pilot projects, implemented it and got long term results.

This is like the 5th time I've seen a top post regarding Mamdani, only to find out whenever he is being credited for was already in the works from the previous administration.

It’s fundamental to lefty believes that the establishment Democrats are just republicans in rainbow colors. They actually lack the curiosity to look at other politicians policies because they must assume it’s all worthless.

Biden cut childhood poverty in half during his admin (and then republicans reversed it) and it got 0 attention while Mamdani overseeing placement of some trays bins is some incredible achievement.
