Jay-Z’s casino bid? A $5.4B private sector play—exactly what NYC needs to revive Times Square without taxpayer handouts. Meanwhile, Mamdani’s pushing city-run grocery stores & rent freezes that’d collapse housing markets.

Adams gets it: real investment beats activist pipe dreams. Mamdani’s “solutions”? All slogans, no math.

His defund-first ideology would turn Times Square into a playground for DSA experiments—not a destination. NYC can’t afford his delusions.
