Is Zohran Mamdani Becoming a Champion of Deregulation?

A funny thing happened on the way to the Big Apple’s socialist utopia: Zohran Mamdani discovered deregulation.

The Democratic Socialist mayor of New York, who campaigned on rent freezes, free buses, and city-owned grocery stores, has apparently learned that sometimes government itself is the problem.

In July, Mamdani unveiled “OPEN for Small Business,” a package of more than 50 reforms aimed at cutting paperwork, eliminating outdated permits, and reducing some of the fines and fees faced by New York’s roughly 180,000 small businesses.

Among the proposed changes are plans to eliminate a separate permit for restaurants that serve frozen desserts, get rid of a redundant license affecting bodegas, lengthen certain license-renewal periods, and make it easier to win approval for sidewalk cafés.

In announcing the initiative, Mamdani complained about “the paperwork and the inconsistency” that small-business owners encounter when dealing with city government.

Welcome to the club, Zohran. Conservatives have been saying this for decades.
