he can propose a tax raise but it still has to get through state legislators and the governor. i dunno about the rent and grocery stores. I’m all for this guy but he’s going to need everyone’s help making any real changes. i really hope we see it happen!
Rent-stabilized apartments already exist in NYC. They are subject to regulations, so prices can be bureaucratically frozen.
He has proposed city-owned grocery stores, that would save money on rent and property taxes, forcing competitive pricing on groceries in NYC, and reducing the insane inflation rates we see. During the bird flu, eggs hit $13/dozen, for example.
He’s also looking to increase the city minimum wage to $30/hr, and make the city bus free for residents.
