If outgoing Mayor Eric Adams appoints new members to the Rent Guidelines Board, it could make it harder for frontrunner Zohran Mamdani to fulfill his "rent freeze" promise. Reporter patrick spauster breaks down the possibilities (with a handy chart!) citylimits.org/can-eric-adams…

“This is unprecedented that a lame duck mayor would last minute stack the Rent Guidelines Board to subvert the next mayor,” said Ritti Singh, communications director with the New York State Tenant Bloc, a group organizing for the freeze. citylimits.org/can-eric-adams…

"We're paying through the nose," said Patricia Jewett, a rent stabilized tenant in the Bronx, who said the next mayor must focus on lowering rents. "People are lining up at food pantries because they can't eat and pay the rent. It's just unbearable." citylimits.org/new-york-city-…

I love covering election day. There is joy and hope and frustration and duty. And for a little fun: reading tea leaves. I talked to 3 Bed-Stuy voters today who were Cuomo in the primary and voted for Mamdani today. @citylimitsnews talked to a few more. citylimits.org/election-day-d…

NEWS! Looking likely that the housing related ballot measures will pass with over 1.5 million votes counted. Prop 1 (upstate ski resort) and Prop 6 (moving election years) might be in peril But the people love digitizing the city map! (Prop 5) Updates on City Limits soon

"I really feel if Zohran wins—he will win—but when he wins, it’ll change stuff for real," Mohamed Chaya, 21, a resident of Morrisania in the Bronx, told City Limits earlier Tuesday. citylimits.org/election-day-d…

“I’ve seen what they’ve done already,” Brooklyn resident Andre Sanchez said of Cuomo & Sliwa. He voted for Mamdani because “he's fresh.” “I’m going to give him a shot, because I’m tired of the nonsense, & I’d rather have somebody else try to do something.” citylimits.org/election-day-d…

If Eric Adams appoints new members to the Rent Guidelines Board before his term expires, it would leave the board split, sources say—making it harder for Zohran Mamdani to fulfill his promise to freeze rent for the city’s 2 million stabilized tenants. citylimits.org/can-eric-adams…

Advocates hailed Zohran Mamdani’s victory as a win for rent-burdened tenants, while building owner groups decried his proposed rent freeze as a threat to the city’s stabilized housing stock. citylimits.org/ready-to-freez…

Now that we have a mayor-elect Mamdani, might be helpful to dig in on what exactly is going on with the RGB + the rent freeze promise (and how Eric Adams could muck things up). Things could get weird!
