This will end poorly, I guarantee that in 10 years a successor to Mamdani will alter the deal, screening over New Yorkers in favor of that developer. I hope he's at least smart enough to not give them the land that the city owns.

    Well, I hope your pessimism is wrong, but can't dismiss it. The perils of public-private partnerships is a pretty legitimate worry.

    I'm hoping they have enough leverage to have a good, enforceable deal and further hope that succossors will be too afraid of screwing up a popular program.
