Candidates are advocating for pro-housing measures to combat rising rental prices, with the average studio now exceeding $3,000. Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani stands out with his commitment to freeze rents for stabilized tenants, gaining support from various tenant groups. Housing advocacy group Open New York has also highlighted pro-housing candidates, indicating a strong shift towards addressing the housing crisis in campaigning.
New York's housing crisis won't be solved without bold pro-housing leadership—and in this election cycle, we're seeing a lot more of it.
