I do think he said he wants it to be a better city for everyone who lives in it.
My white cishet male ass* gets that making NYC better for everyone means it’d be better for me too, even if the most vulnerable among us get paid some extra attention when it comes to improving the things that make their lives harder. Some people seem to think that it’s a zero-sum game and improving other peoples’ lives must come at the cost of their own. It’s just blatantly untrue.
* My white cishet male ass also doesn’t live in NYC, but I mean in general. I want the world around me to be better for everyone, not just me specifically.
Hopefully people of all stripes will be uplifted.
