Mamdani should start making that point -- more specifically, that Cuomo wants anyone paying less than 30% of their income on rent of a stabilized apartment will lose rent stabilization.

I think there's a sense that Cuomo's line of attack can be effective because if there's one thing that Americans are always on high alert for, it's the revelation that somebody somewhere is getting something for nothing, unless of course that beneficiary is themselves

He's paying $2300 for a one-bedroom apartment in Astoria Queens that he moved intp when he was making $50K a year. And half of apartment renters in NYC ARE beneficiaries. Won't stick, won't hurt.

You're probably right, I'm just pointing out why they (Cuomo and media like NYT) think it might have legs.

(And of course 10x if those beneficiaries are not"real Americans")
