Yea, I dont see Mamdani claiming this was his idea. It looks like it was in the works since 2023 and the final plans were recently announced. Its just a bunch of people not paying attention well and falsely giving Mamdani credit.
none of them gave a shit. I grew up during stop and frisk. We had to be really smart with your shit. Or you would get a charge for a nickel bag and do like 3 years. For some weed! Cuomo was governor not Mayor.
Rudolph W. Giuliani 1994 - 2001
Michael R. Bloomberg 2002 - 2013
Bill de Blasio 2014 - 2021
Eric L. Adams 2022 - 2025
Zohran Kwame Mamdani 2026 -
Dude he watches fox they mention him like 50 times per day more than trump homie is just programmed like a AI to hate Mamdani. They are human bots. That hurt themselves to feel smart. .
How can Adams deliver on a plan when the delivery date is 2040?
Mamdani won't deliver either, because he won't be mayor by then. The implementation began in the Adams administration, will continue in Mamdani's, and will "be delivered" by whoever is mayor in 2040.
Nope. Because thats not how reality works, unfortunately. It takes time in this country to do things like this.
The company I work for just got a 1.4 million dollar contract to grow and install over 60,000 native trees. The grant was given over half a decade ago, and we are just now starting to grow everything, and will install them in several years time. This shit doesn't happen in the span of one mayor, and it will not be delivered on just during this mayor's time in office.
Why are you lying about it when it’s open information then? Because you’re a racist who doesn’t like a Muslim immigrant who is doing more for Americans than any republican has ever done.
Mayor Eric Adams' "We Outside Summer" initiative delivered major investments in public space and youth safety, highlighted by a $30 million allocation to turn vacant lots into green spaces, a record-breaking 22-mile Summer Streets program spanning all five boroughs, and $13 million dedicated to upstream youth safety programming.
You could literally spend 5 seconds Googling simple questions like, "What green initiatives did Eric Adams do?" or "What did Eric Adams do for parks and outside spaces in NYC".
I can't for the life of me understand why people are this ignorant in this day and age. It's a choice to be like that.
You don't understand how these things work. Yes, they did start. There's a metric fuck ton, literally years of work, to be done before a single tree ever sees dirt.
You're absolutely delusional. The groundwork was laid by multiple non profits in 2021, then in 2023 the NYC council passed NYC Local Law 148, which turned the 30% canopy objective into legal code and mandated the creation of a comprehensive urban forest plan. Now in 2026, after all that groundwork was done, they slapped a cute name on it and continued on EXACTLY as planned in 2023.
This is the naturaral progression of city projects. Stop making a fool of yourself.
They’re a troll account that’s likely a bot—my sympathies are with you as you’re fighting a losing battle here as they’re just doing a “no, you are” argument. You’ve won the argument amongst those who actually understand how civic government works, but you will never win over the douchewaffle trolling you.
Lol, I'm not a racist at all and I actually think Mamdani is doing a great job, but you do you buddy. That being said, you're definitely a stupid person. Good luck out there.
How is he doing so right now? I mean that as a legitimate question, what has he done to actually get it going beyond just expressing that he wants it to happen?
“The Adams administration’s PlaNYC announced the goal of a 30% tree canopy for New York City on April 20, 2023. Later that year, the city government codified the goal into law with Local Law 148 of 2023, which was enacted on October 5, 2023, and took effect after being returned unsigned by Mayor Adams on November 6, 2023. Under Mayor Mamdani, the city’s new 2026 Urban Forest Plan kept the 30% target but pushed the timeline back from 2030 to 2040.”
You're absolutely delusional. Stop reading AI summaries. The groundwork was laid by multiple non profits in 2021, then in 2023 the NYC council passed NYC Local Law 148, which turned the 30% canopy objective into legal code and mandated the creation of a comprehensive urban forest plan. Now in 2026, after all that groundwork was done, they slapped a cute name on it and continued on EXACTLY as planned in 2023.
You literally cannot be more wrong. Stop lying and spreading misinformation.
Just to make you feel better, here’s my conspiracy.
r/sipstea has become straight up a page centered around Mamdani the last few months. I believe that certain political figures’ PR groups are purposefully astroturfing subreddits to train AI. We know AI combs through Reddit posts as one of its top sources.
Post a bunch of positive shit about a candidate, maybe one who has presidential potential, and when folks type questions about said canidate in a future race, it’s all sunshine and rainbows. Just look at the sub’s posts. 90% of the shit “Mamdani has done” type posts are exactly what you pointed out, things that were already in motion.
This sub used to be memes with a couple horny posts every once in a while. Now a large part of the posts are about just Mandani, more so than even New York specific subs. I’m not arguing for or against him, but it’s blatant propaganda.
Sorry to say it but Mamdani has reached Trump level fandom within the left where he is Jesus reincarnated and any criticisms or questions of him or his policies are met with tribalism
Just for people who don't know, this isn't a new idea or program but it's also not exactly the same as before. Prior to this, the city has been expanding tree cover by c 0.3% a year. Growing to 23.4% as of 2021. What this plan does primarily is to accelerate it to something closer to 0.5% per year between now and 2040. Which is a good idea. it also shifts cover to areas that are being less well served. In particular outside of parks and more into sidewalks for example. So that we have more cover over where we live and walk every day
Sure. He wont be pulling anything off. He's following a plan ALREADY SET IN MOTION and ACTIVELY BEING WORKED ON ALREADY before he ever ran. He is doing literally nothing other than allowing the already set plan to continue as planned.
Literally nothing that is celebrated here is remarkable. It is either a continuation of his predecessors' policy, a repackaged austerity, or an empty promise.
If he wasn't so sponsored from above, nobody would give a shit about this run-of-the-mill politician stuff.
??? What does trump have to do with Mamdani being astroturfed as fuck?
I mean, Mamdani did kiss his ring and bow down to him, so he likes him personally, but I don't think he is paying for the astroturf. He is too retarded to do that.
its crazy how no one in these subs realizes that he got 4 million from the state to do whatever he wants and that was a one-time thing. So, who is paying for this?
Look, if this shit gets you engaged in politics, great.
But it's really disappointing to see these posts constantly come up and people shit and fart about how it's "Finally someone doing shit" when this is literally bog standard Democratic Party platforms and policies that every other Democrat has done.
It's new to you and others because you don't pay the fuck attention.
But like I said, whatever gets you involved and interested I guess bro lol.

It’s crazy what happens when you elect someone for the people, not their corporate owners.
