City Journal(@CityJournal):NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has launched a new initiative to help tenants organize against their landlords. The $53 million Office of Mass Engagement, created on the mayor’s second day in office, will manage “volunteers” going door to door for the ‘Talk to Tenants’ program. The mayor’s words will be cheap for him, @nicolegelinas writes, but they’ll be costlier for many of the people who take him and Talk to Tenants too seriously.
