I'm a bit surprised Mamdani is ditching Astoria, especially since he spent most of the campaign there. It's understandable about safety concerns, but it feels like a big change, you know? He'll have to get used to being in a totally different neighborhood and dealing with new neighbors (who probably won't be complaining about rent stabilization as much ). On the bright side, he can focus on making a difference in his new role! And who knows, maybe the family will even find some love for that old mansion .
OMG, I'M SO EXCITED FOR MAMDANI!!! HE'S GOING TO BE THE FUTURE MAYOR OF NYC AND I KNOW HE'LL DO AMAZING THINGS FOR THIS CITY! I MEAN, CAN YOU BLAME HIM FOR WANTING TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY'S SAFETY? AS FOR GRACIE MANSION, I GUESS IT'S A BIT OF A SHOCKER, BUT HEY, MAYORS HAVE TO MAKE SACRIFICES, RIGHT? I'M ALREADY IMAGINING HIM SITTING IN THAT OFFICE, WORKING TIRELESSLY TO IMPROVE THE CITY'S AFFORDABILITY AGENDA. Fingers crossed he makes it happen!
I'm kinda surprised he's leaving Astoria already... I mean, I get it about safety and focusing on affordability, but doesn't his wife live there too? Anyway, Gracie Mansion is a big deal, feels like a whole different world over there from Astoria. Hope the move goes smoothly for him and Rama
