Analysis Summary
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani took office in late 2025 after critics warned wealthy residents and businesses would flee the city in response to his pro-worker policies. Six months in, the predicted mass exodus hasn't materialized according to market data, though prominent figures like Citadel CEO Ken Griffin have made public threats to halt development projects. The article focuses on the gap between prediction and reality but doesn't acknowledge that threats and pressure from business leaders remain ongoing despite the lack of actual departure.
