Murder rate comparison will be between:
The four years before the next mayoral election
The four years after the next mayoral election
Update 2025-11-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - The comparison period will be measured from the start of Mamdani's term (January 1, 2026), comparing 2022-2025 vs 2026-2029
Data may not be aggregated to the exact day, but this is unlikely to affect resolution
@thatMikeBishop @DontGoHome I would think that comparing 2022-2025 vs 2026-2029 would make more sense anyway, since Mamdani's term doesn't start until 1/1/2026.
@thatMikeBishop It is a long time, but
I think the loan system is supposed to incentivise long-term betting? Although I'm not sure how it works or if it fully succeeds
Whatever Mamdani does, I imagine it's unlikely to show up in the murder data right away.
@DanielTilkin Measuring from the start of his term would've been better, you're right. And data will presumably not be aggregated to the day. But I think it's unlikely to make a difference to the resolution.
