Why doesn’t Mayor Mamdani care about NYCHA affordable housing?
NY Post
We’re starting to wonder if Mayor Zohran Mamdani has any real interest in promoting affordable housing in New York, rather than just posing on the issue: Why else would he ignore the thousands of public-housing units that sit empty for lack of funds to renovate?
The city Department of Investigation just identified 6,740 apartments now warehoused because the New York City Housing Authority can’t find the cash to bring them up to code.
The cost is only an estimated $52,000 per unit, far less than Mamdani wants to spend on other housing plans: The Queens project he’s asking President Donald Trump to fund would cost hundreds of times that per apartment.
Indeed, he could help renovate tens of thousands of private units now kept off the market for far less than that pipedream.
But back to NYCHA: The vacant units put other tenants in danger, as drug crews and vagrants seize them for illegal squats.
Indeed, squatters sit in hundreds of these apartments, while 165,000 law-abiding families languish on NYCHA’s waitlist.
