Part 2/15:
The speaker begins by scrutinizing the promises made by the incoming mayor of New York City, accusing them of misleading the public. He asserts that the mayor has no control over the rent or the bus system, and cannot unilaterally declare the bus system free. While he acknowledges that the mayor can suggest policies like rent freezes or price caps, he emphasizes that actual implementation depends on other authorities and entities, which diminishes the likelihood of these promises materializing as advertised.
