The article discusses New York City’s mayoral race, focusing on Andrew Cuomo’s campaign, which presents him as a seasoned candidate ready to tackle the city's multifaceted crises. While other candidates advocate for comprehensive trash containerization, Cuomo diverges by supporting standardized containerization only for larger properties. This contrast underscores his practical approach amidst ongoing challenges, such as the city's trash problem, which directly affects the quality of city life. The author, living in an affected area, shares firsthand observations of urban decay, especially issues with rat infestations stemming from traditional garbage collection methods, enhancing the article's context on civic management.
“Cuomo has come down to New York from the suburbs and back from political exile to offer his own hard-nosed, practical experience as an alternative to a field of candidates who are some combination of too idealistic, too leftist, or too unseasoned.”
“Cuomo declared in the mayoral debate, the city is in a 'management crisis', a 'fiscal crisis', and a 'societal crisis'—and he is the one to take on 'dysfunctional city management.'”
