<h1>Rent freeze for rent stabilized tenants proposed, alongside fare free buses and universal childcare to lower citywide costs.</h1> Zohran Mamdani's mayoral platform prioritizes affordability through municipal policy: an immediate rent freeze for all rent stabilized tenants, accelerated construction of city housing, permanently fare free city buses with bus priority infrastructure, universal free childcare for children six weeks to five years, and a network of city owned grocery stores focused on low prices; the campaign claims funding mechanisms and rests on prior organizing and legislative efforts as the foundation for implementation.
