Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, visited Staten Island to engage with local businesses and hear community concerns during his campaign for mayor. He emphasized the importance of a city government that truly listens to residents rather than lecturing them. Mamdani acknowledged Staten Island's unique challenges, particularly in homeownership and transit, and shared a new policy platform aimed at making homeownership more accessible. The candidate's approach reflects his commitment to considering the daily experiences of people across the boroughs.
I think too often there isn't much listening in politics. It's lecturing. We need to have a city government that listens to the very people who would be served by this infrastructure.
Mamdani referenced the U.S. Census-confirmed higher rates of homeownership on Staten Island and released a homeowner policy platform earlier this week that would aim to make it more affordable for people around the five boroughs to become and stay homeowners.
