Note that @brainwane wrote down her thoughts on #NYCElections ballot questions here: https://harihareswara.net/posts/2025/nyc-2025-election-ballot-proposals/.

I thought it was interesting that we came to different conclusions on the non-housing stuff; questions 1, 5, and 6 are a YES and two NOs respectively. I agree wholeheartedly on the "ballot panic" thing (getting derailed by these stupid ballot questions rather than just being able to vote for representatives, for example!)

However, odd year elections continue to be a disaster.
