The real test for the progressives will be their ability to address the housing problem in NYC as Mamdani has promised:
Block by Block details how the City will build 200,000 new affordable homes and preserve another 200,000 affordable homes over the next decade, backed by a historic $22 billion capital investment in housing over the next five years.
