I don’t know of any other mayoral races besides this and NYC, but that alone is huge. Two of the largest shipping hubs on both sides of the country being run by people who want to make life better for as many people as possible, could be both the marker and catalyzing agent for the exact sort of tide shift you’re describing
I’m not American but Mayor’s where I’m from are pretty powerless to make people’s lives better. The only thing they control is property tax. Do American Mayor’s have way more power?

Let’s be honest. One race had a NIMBY corporate stooge and the other had a Trump backed constantly in a scandal sleezeball.
It wasn’t hard for anyone else to win against those options. Not really a sign that socialism is taking over cities.
