    Why would you make it free instead of charging $3k a month like every other city? It’s called FREEDOM.

      It says the parents don’t have to pay, not the educators don’t get paid. There’s such a thing called *public funding*

      NYC has enough rich people to afford this sort of thing now that their luxury homes no longer get tax exemptions.

          I guess when you read the sentence, “I always wear socks when I’m wearing shoes,” your immediate thought is, “You wear socks in the shower?” After all, I clearly said I always wear socks, right?

          If this is trolling, it is absolutely bottom tier. If this is a reading comprehension issue, it is also bottom tier.

      Why not just read the article? It’s pretty short.

      Summary:

      NYC has childcare vouchers for people earning less than 85% of the median income (which works out to <114k/yr for a family of 4). Depending on how much lower than that amount they make, it can cost anywhere from $0/wk to $15/wk.

      Mamdani got rid of the copay entirely. Now it’s free for anyone that qualifies for the voucher.

      There are about 100k families using this service, but only ~22k paid a copay based on their income.

      This change will cost the city ~$5.2M.

          There almost always is. If you’re looking for some particular info, you need to be more specific about what you want. The article is a bit wide-ranging.
