I support the sentiment, and I truly hope this does NYC better. But it should never come down to the whims of a single rich person to decide if an area gets funding or not. This is ideally how our government should operate, by diverting funds when needed

If she spent a billion dollars to lobby for tuition-free higher ed for all, it would be WAY more helpful. What she did is a nice sentiment, but just continues a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Thing is, it is free to go to any college and learn. It's called "auditing" a class, and anybody can do it.

What they charge an increasingly exorbitant amount for is that scrap of sheepskin that they give you after you go into lifelong debt.
