> The five stores are expected to be placed in each of the city’s five boroughs, with the first set to open toward the end of 2027 in the Bronx. He plans to have all five operational by the end of his four-year term.

Could it go any slower?

This seems more like a political ploy than making a real and broad impact in citizens’ wellbeing.

He's been busy, lots to do all at once. I'm sure they'd welcome your help if you'd like to apply to achieve the admin's policy goals faster. Be the change you want to see.

On public perception:

Zohran Mamdani’s approval rating: the latest polls - https://www.thetimes.com/us/news-today/article/zohran-mamdan... | https://archive.today/eeHs0 - July 16th, 2026

> Mamdani is undeniably in a honeymoon period. After more than 100 days in charge, most residents think the city is improving. According to the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which runs the Marist Poll, his approval rating in April was 48 per cent. It found 55 per cent of adults thought New York was heading in the right direction.

> More than 70 per cent of respondents said Mamdani was hard-working and 61 per cent believed he was working to represent all New York City residents. He was particularly popular in Brooklyn and Manhattan, but was yet cut through to the residents of Staten Island.
