    Mayor Zohran Mamdani, recently inaugurated in NYC (early 2026), has quickly enacted policies focusing on affordability, tenant rights, and public services, including a rent freeze pledge, cracking down on junk fees, establishing city-run food markets, appointing a tenant-focused lead for housing, and creating an Office of Mass Engagement, all while maintaining continuity in public safety by keeping Police Commissioner Tisch.
