here's a map from a few weeks ago of Mamdani's approval ratings. All the wealthy areas have red dissapproval ratings. Something I like to note is the red rectangle just off Central Park is Epstein Alley, the area where the richest assholes own property.

    New Yorker here to translate.

    Manhattan is almsot all green except for a sliver on 5th Avenue near Central Park. That's the priciest area. Most of the rest of the borough is pretty pricey. even Harlem apartments are getting expensive, now that it's being gentrified.

    Most of the red areas aren't particularly pricey and certainly aren't considered high class or exclusive.

    The bright red area all the way at the bottom left is the South Shore of Staten Island.

    I once met a woman who taught Art History at Staten Island College. She told me that many of her students had never made the trip into Manhattan to visit the Metropolitan Museum, one of the top museums in the world.

    Look for and listen to the Revisionist History: The Staten Island Problem podcast series. It’s really interesting and even points out how Wu Tang Clan rose from that weird island. Plus it seems to have foretold our current stupid politics to a degree.

    Yes, the is an authentic NYC government site and yes, there are actual street signs that say 'Wu Tang District.'

    That really red area under the mouse cursor is... Borough Park? Super conservative Jewish area? Or maybe bensonhurst? I live here but am apparently bad at maps.

    Yeah, that's Borough Park, famous for the Orthodox Jewish community doing stuff like diverting public education funds towards private religious schools or having a private bus system that used to require women to sit in the back until an investigation in 2011.

    The small red area just northeast is Crown Heights, famous for the hilarious synagogue tunnel story back in 2024. Basically, that area has some very pro-Zionist areas.

    It's all the outskirts except for central Manhattan and surprisingly Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which I thought was part of the Commie Corridor. Flushing is expected considering many first generation Asians are conservative (read: racist) and prefer to vote for a white man.
