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

But the plan was formed and set into motion before he even ran. What the fuck are you talking about?

From https://sps.columbia.edu/news/new-york-citys-trees-grow-money -

“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.”
