An opinion piece circulating on Telegram by the commentator Gplanet argues that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani failed to deliver on key promises — freezing rent, taxing the wealthy, and making public transit free — while succeeding in raising his own salary. The post claims rent has hit an all-time high, $11 billion in tax revenue vanished, and subway fares rose 20% last week.
An opinion piece by the commentator Gplanet, circulated on Telegram early Thursday, harshly criticizes New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, alleging he broke key campaign promises on rent control, taxing the wealthy, and free public transit — while managing to raise his own salary. The post claims that New York rents have hit an all-time high, that $11 billion in tax revenue disappeared after the wealthy fled, and that subway fares rose 20% last week. These claims are unverified and come from a single source. The Zioneer has previously reported on Mayor Mamdani's rent freeze policy and accusations of hypocrisy regarding his air conditioning guidance during a heat wave (July 4).
