The proposal is an attempt to seize momentum on one of the campaign’s top issues — the housing crisis — and could affect nearly one million homes, or about 40 percent of the city’s rental market.

It’s also part of a continuing attack on the front-runner in the race, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who pays $2,300 a month for a rent-stabilized one-bedroom apartment in Astoria, Queens.

    "It’s also part of a continuing attack on the front-runner in the race, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who pays $2,300 a month for a rent-stabilized one-bedroom apartment in Astoria, Queens.

    Mr. Cuomo has said that Mr. Mamdani, who earns $142,000 a year as a lawmaker, should give up his apartment so a homeless family can move in."

    So he wants an entire family living in a 1 bedroom? 🤔 Homeless families can afford $2,300 for rent?
