I would love to attend lectures on:

-A history of Grand Compromises in New York, and why they are behind many of the things we love and rely on today

-1898: the consolidation of NYC, and how the five boroughs merged

-How the subways were originally built and financed

-Public authorities in New York (case study: the MTA)

-Heuristics for knowing when a political headline/post/article is reliable or unreliable; how to have good political proxies

-What are political parties, actually? What is their technical definition and organizational shape?

-The rent regulation system

Thank you again for the shoutout, Daniel! As for lectures I’d love to see:

-the political process for land use changes. What does the new process look like for different types of housing now?

-relationship between the governor and the mayor and what powers each holds on the other

-all the levers public citizens can engage with in government, how they interact (beginning with community boards, where I’d have some suggestions…)
