Zohran Mamdani: 我是一个民主社会主义者，受到伯尼·桑德斯的影响，我相信每个人都应该有尊严地过上体面的生活。我的竞选纲领旨在解决收入不平等问题，让纽约市变得更加负担得起。市政府有能力缓解或加剧生活成本危机，而我竞选是为了结束这种危机。亚当斯市长通过提高租金加剧了住房负担危机，并且支持 Con Edison 提高费率，进一步加剧了纽约市民的生活成本。我支持冻结租金，同时也支持改革住房法规，以增加住房供应。冻结租金是住房政策的起点，但市长需要为所有市民制定全面的住房计划。对于收入无法覆盖成本的房东，政府有提供困难补助的计划。

Shownotes Transcript

We're just a month away from the hotly-contested Democratic primary for New York City Mayor. And one of the candidates -- Queens assemblyman Zohran Mamdani -- is running on a somewhat unusual platform. Endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, he's proposing rent freezes, universal childcare, higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy, free buses, and city-run grocery stores. In this conversation, we talk to the would-be mayor about his socialist vision for New York, including how he plans to fund more public goods, what he would do to ensure that government-run services are up to standard, and why there should be Halal carts on every street corner.
