Mayor Mamdani Faces Backlash After Urging New Yorkers to Set Thermostats to 78 Degrees
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is asking New York City residents to set their air conditioners to 78 degrees during a severe heat wave. The Mayor stated this measure is necessary to reduce strain on the city's power grid and prevent blackouts as temperatures rise. The request has met with significant public criticism from residents who argue that such restrictions should not be necessary in a modern city. Critics on social media questioned the state of the city's infrastructure, suggesting that residents should be able to use their cooling systems freely during extreme weather.
