The city that never stops arguing. From Wall Street policy to Brooklyn culture wars, NYC debaters bring the intensity. Weekly meetups in Manhattan, all boroughs welcome.
Transit
Congestion pricing funds the subway and clears the streets. Opponents say it punishes outer-borough commuters and small businesses that depend on deliveries.
Housing
A freeze protects tenants from being priced out. Landlords and some housing advocates warn it starves older buildings of the money needed to maintain them.
Transit
Free transit is fairer and could end fare evasion as an issue. Critics say the system needs the revenue and that free service would not fix crowding or reliability.
Education
A test is transparent and rewards preparation. The other side argues it reflects access to tutoring more than talent, and keeps the schools unrepresentative of the city.
Economy
Public stores could lower prices where private chains will not go. Opponents doubt the city can run stores well and fear it would undercut local shops.
