Mayor Zohran Mamdani has a knack for using pop culture to explain his ideas. Just last week, he compared public-private partnerships to the game Mario Kart. This week, during an Earth Day announcement, he referenced the movie Heat. He quoted a romantic line from Val Kilmer’s character to describe a new program that will provide environmentally friendly heating options for city residents.

It looks like someone is really excited about the movie Heat! We’re suggesting some fun ways for city officials to reference it in future announcements, hoping it catches on. Maybe they’ll even draw inspiration from other films by director Michael Mann – we’re sure someone on the team is a fan!

Feel free to relax here on the sofa in this… uniquely designed house. Just be aware that if this isn’t where you live most of the time, your taxes will be a little higher.

As Tom Cruise’s character pointed out in Michael Mann’s excellent but often overlooked film, Collateral, you’re not at fault if you’re involved in an accident. My new head of taxi services will support the drivers who keep our city moving.
