Andrew Cuomo outlined his affordability plans at a recent press conference, emphasizing the high cost of living in the 2025 NYC Mayor's race. He critiqued Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani's proposals as unrealistic, arguing against blanket subsidies for bus fares, advocating instead for targeted subsidies for qualifying New Yorkers. Cuomo questioned Mamdani's omission of subways in transportation plans, asserting that more people use the subway. While the focus was on affordability, Cuomo has also further addressed issues such as crime and public safety, highlighting that housing plans were not detailed in this particular presentation.
Cuomo expressed concern over the reliability of Mamdani's affordability proposals, specifically questioning the rationale behind subsidies for wealthier individuals, stating, 'Why should New Yorkers subsidize the bus fare for rich people? Why should they pay my bus fare?'
In addressing the issue of transportation, Cuomo emphasized a targeted approach, advocating for a 100% bus and subway subsidy for qualifying New Yorkers rather than blanket free services which he believes would be irresponsible.
