Will Mamdani Make Housing More Affordable?
Emily Eisner and Kenny Burgos debate Zohran Mamdani's housing policies.
Economist Emily Eisner and former New York State Assemblyman Kenny Burgos debate the resolution, "Mayor Zohran Mamdani's housing policies will make housing more affordable for most New York City residents."
Arguing in favor of the resolution is Eisner, the executive director of the Fiscal Policy Institute. She is also a co-chair of the New York City Policy Forum.
Taking the negative is Burgos, the CEO of the New York Apartment Association, where he represents a coalition of housing providers who own and manage hundreds of thousands of rent-stabilized homes across New York City. He is a former member of the New York State Assembly representing the 85th district in the southeastern Bronx.
The debate is moderated by Soho Forum director Gene Epstein.
