Like a Week and a Half Long or So?: Mayor Mamdani’s Political Honeymoon Is Over

With homeless New Yorkers freezing to death on the streets after Mayor Mamdani foolishly told police and social workers not to break up their encampments and move them to shelters, a friend offers an idea that is consistent with the mayor’s obligations and his dedication to socialism.

Although Mamdani and his wife lament that Gracie Mansion has no bidets, my tipster notes that the large, city-owned mayoral residence does have lots of unused rooms and spaces.

Thus, she calls on the city’s first couple to open their hearts — and their doors, so that 10 or even 20 homeless people could safely ride out the brutal winter weather with them.

Hey comrade, practice what you preach!

The idea reminds me of a scene from “Doctor Zhivago,” the great 1965 flick starring Omar Sharif and Julie Christie.
