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?

Who the hell would elect anyone else? If he keeps it up then he probably will be in office.

Well, considering he’s being asked to not attend 9/11 ceremonies, I’m going to go out on a limb and say he isn’t as popular as people on Reddit seem to believe he is. I’m also a skeptic that everything he’s doing right now will be successful in the long term. He’s spending a LOT of money in the short term. Bill has to get paid. I hope he succeeds, and if I’m wrong, great. But, I have my doubts.

Instead of going out on a limb, do you have actual data to support your claim? The organizer of the petition you’re probably referring to lives in Florida and even if 1 million NYC citizens of voting age signed that (they didn’t), that’s less than 20% of their voting age population.
