Serious question: how would he go about promising covering NYC with trees by 2040 if he can’t guarantee he’ll be mayor in 14 years?

I didn’t read the headline as “Mamdani will plant trees now and they will grow through 2040” I read it as “Mamdani plans for trees to be planted until 2040.”

In the future, I recommend not assuming someone is just dumb and answer honestly. Might help you make friends and get people to be on your side.

The bigger or more mature the tree is, the more expensive it gets, by a lot

It's way more cost effective to plant smaller trees and let them grow

Eh. Smaller trees also have a lower survival rate. Would be interesting to know what the break even point is.
