New York City is ready for change. But is it ready for Andrew Yang?

With just four weeks until the primary, now is probably a good time for Yang to treat voters to his more serious side. Concern about recent attacks on Asian Americans, which he has expressed, is welcome addition to the debate. And while his pledge to give $2,000 to the poorest 500,000 New Yorkers has fleeting PR appeal, it’s not the sort of idea that excites a majority. Still, a penchant for thinking big is a very New York thing.
