NYC has been a left-wing entity for years with socialistic programs and policies dominating the culture, government and politics of the city and the state.
Mayor De Blasio in 2014 to 2021 was the personification of socialism.
The current mayor Adams may be less socialistic; however, he is totally tied-up and neutered by a far-left-wing city council.
The new socialist star to emerge is councilman Mamdani who is indeed yet another Evita!

NEW YORK (AP) — The stunning success of Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, in the race for New York City mayor has exposed anew the fiery divisions plaguing the Democratic Party as it struggles to repair its brand nearly half a year into Donald Trump’s presidency.

Many progressives cheered the emergence of the young and charismatic Mamdani, whose candidacy caught on with viral campaign videos and a focus on the cost of living. But the party’s more pragmatic wing cast the outcome as a serious setback in their quest to broaden Democrats’ appeal and move past the more controversial policies that alienated would-be voters in recent elections.

The millennial progressive, who would be the city's first Muslim and South Asian mayor, has leaned into his roots in a diverse city. He's posted one campaign video entirely in Urdu and mixed in Bollywood film clips. In another, he speaks Spanish.

"This is a city where one in four of its people are living in poverty, a city where 500,000 kids go to sleep hungry every night," he told the BBC at a recent event. "And ultimately, it's a city that is in danger of losing that which it makes it so special."

For starters he has proposed:
-
Free bus service citywide
Rent freezes and stricter accountability for negligent landlords
A chain of city-owned grocery stores focused on affordability
Universal childcare for children aged six weeks to five years
Tripling the production of rent-stabilized, union-built housing
