Zahran Mamdani: 作为纽约市长候选人，我承诺将致力于降低租房者的住房成本。纽约的住房危机日益严峻，租金高涨让许多人难以负担。我提出的租金冻结政策，旨在禁止房东提高租金管制单元的租金，这将直接影响纽约市一半的租赁住房。我相信，通过冻结租金，我们可以为纽约人提供一个更加负担得起的居住环境，让他们不再仅仅为了生存而挣扎。 Rebecca Picciotto: 纽约市的住房负担能力问题由来已久，高昂的租金让许多租房者苦不堪言。Mamdani的租金冻结提议，直接触及了这一核心问题，引起了年轻选民的强烈共鸣。然而，这一提议也让房地产行业感到不安，他们担心租金冻结会扼杀他们的运营收入，使他们更难以维护租金管制单元。开发商们正在权衡各种选择，包括支持其他候选人、与Mamdani团队谈判，甚至考虑退出纽约市场。住房负担能力问题已经成为一个全国性的政治话题，而住房成本往往是人们生活成本的最大组成部分。
