Tell the dust bunnies that New York has ranked elections and they must not put Cumo on any of the places or leave any blank. Otherwise Cuomo might still get in even if more voters put Zohran first, because Cuomo could appear on more ballots. A weird system!

Obviously (and ironically) You Don't Mess with This Zohran!

Seriously, the housing policies alone make him absolutely someone any major City should vote in.

If you really want to understand why, just look at my own home city of San Francisco where all the freaks, artists and musicians have been priced so far out of the City (and the entire SF Bay Area) that they've moved two to three hours out of town. Yes, the tech people have brought a huge amount of money into SF but at the cost of cultural devastation because they people that were the reason they all wanted to live there are all gone, forced out by exorbitant and rapidly rising housing costs and unconscionable landlords who find ways to bypass any sort of tenant protections.

I wish Zohran well!

I grew up around Morningside heights. Then in the mid sixties we moved to a Mitchell Lama different where my brother still lives 60 years later.

I'm disabled and was getting meals on wheels. I fully get that some places are going to do it better, but it was disgusting in my area and the people delivering them were refusing to follow covid protocols, so I told them to stop coming.

The stray cats, racoons, and possums wouldn't even touch the meals.

My folks moved out to long Island after I was born and then moved to the deep South when Long Island started to get too expensive...

We definitely need adorable housing all across the USA

How do landlords still pay all of the expensive bills and repairs if rent is frozen or are these costs built into the freeze?
