Zohran Mamdani’s affordability agenda — rent freezes, fare-free buses, and universal childcare — depends on Albany’s approval and state funding amid expressed skepticism.

Michelle Wu secured a second term as Boston mayor, running unopposed, maintaining high approval, advancing transit fare-free policies and pursuing rent-stabilization efforts.

Fare-free buses would be costly, likely worsen already slow NYC bus speeds, and divert hundreds of millions from more effective transit improvements low-income riders prefer.
