A top executive at the landlord lobby echoes Andrew Cuomo's call to means-test rent-stabilized housing.

It's a look into the kind of messaging the real estate lobby could use to try to undermine Zohran Mamdani's popular call to freeze the rent.
Tweet from Jay Martin: Many lawmakers themselves live in rent stabilized housing that they then pass laws restricting rents and raise expenses on. We have done outreach and focus groups over the last 6 months with thousands of renters and while rent stabilization and rent control remain extremely popular, when informed of the 150,000 wealthy New Yorkers and some politicians benefiting from rent stabilization opinions went sour quickly. Black, and Asian New Yorker renters oppose 70%^, Latinos over 60%. White Manhattan and Brooklyn renters/homeowners were the only group that didn’t care if wealthy people or elected officials took rent reduced housing that they didn’t need. Make of that what you will.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
