New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a new "block by block" initiative to tackle the city's affordable housing crisis Tuesday morning.
The plan focuses on 400,000 affordable housing units, enhancing tenant protections and investing in public housing. Some 200,000 of those units will be new, rent-stabilized homes built over the next decade, as well as preserving and stabilizing an additional 200,000 homes.

But so far, he's actually giving me hope
