1. With 23% undecided, I don't think that the RCV analysis is predictive

2. glad to see donovan and mcguire disappearing. this was pretty telling how out of touch they are:

'$100k?' Two millionaire 'out-of-touch' NYC mayoral candidates are mocked for not knowing the median price of a Brooklyn home (it's actually $900k)
- Former HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan guessed around $100,000
- Former Citigroup exec Raymond McGuire went lower, at $80,000-$90,000
- In the first quarter of 2021, the median price went above $900k for the first time
- As recently as 2003, the median price in Brooklyn was still way above $100k
- The only candidate to correctly name the median home cost was Andrew Yang
- Donovan and McGuire are two of the biggest contenders left in the mayoral race
The primary, which essentially decides the mayor in NYC, is set for June 22

3. That's just wayyy out of touch. Even people who never visited NYC

would mostly know it wasn't that low.
