I’m in NYC and I’ve followed Mamdani. Just don’t think there are other examples. Even the grocery stores aren’t really a far left talking point.
Working class isn’t against 30 dollar min wage, fee child care, taxing wealthy, free buses, free healthcare etc.

with brevity, as i have to log off
a center-left proposal for lowering grocery prices via the mechanisms of the state would involve subsidy either on the supply or demand sides, or need-based SNAP type welfare programs. state run grocers, at a minimum, would be considered as "state capitalism" which depending on the manner of implementation could also be considered "socialist" in this context, which is far left in the US but center-left/left in the EU (broadly speaking). implementation of a general set of price controls falls somewhere in between the two as policy.
there isn't as much exactitude to where these things fall as we'd like but i think this analysis and the placements underpinning it are fairly non-controversial from a general american perspective.
and as an addendum even if some of these policies are "far left" in americans' eyes they still may be sensible and called for, depending on the locale. nyc in particular faces a set of challenges that most polities in the US don't experience, and people outside of the city should be and probably are aware of that to some degree.
