NextImg:Zohran’s rent-stabilized digs: Letters to the Editor — Aug. 14, 2025

Will New Yorkers finally wake up and elect someone who cares about crime, the cleanliness of the city and its taxpayers (“Cuo: ‘Zohran’s Law’ to save apt. for needy,” Aug. 11)?

Zohran Mamdani, who talks tough about taxing the millionaires and billionaires, is the son of millionaires and also makes $142,000 as a state assemblyman while living in a rent-stabilized apartment.

He’s nothing but a hypocrite, who will break the backs of New York’s hard-working taxpayers.

As a tenant in a rent-regulated apartment, I agree with Andrew Cuomo’s proposal to impose a means-test for occupants of these dwellings.

Many tenants of New York City’s million rent-regulated units have low or moderate incomes. But some are privileged people in power who abuse the system, like Mamdani.

No one who earns more than $100,000 a year (about twice the city median income) should qualify for a rent-regulated apartment. Those units belong to the needy, not the greedy. It is time to reform New York’s rancid rent laws.

While Cuomo is right to criticize socialist Mamdani for gaming the rent-stabilization system, he’s guilty of a staggering hypocrisy in calling for means-testing renters.

As governor, Cuomo signed the notorious 2019 law preventing landlords from raising rents in exchange for Major Capital Improvements. As a result, over 20,000 apartments are left vacant, while the city faces a growing housing shortage.

Wow. The Post is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find fault with Mamdani. It’s not like he’s paying $150 a month for a five-room rent-controlled apartment.

If someone bought a house at a low price and then property values suddenly went up, why would they think: “I’d better move. It’s not fair that I was so lucky”?

The Post reports that Mamdani has a nice subsidized one-bedroom apartment. As a socialist — likely even a communist — I’m sure Mamdani would welcome a few new roommates to share his largesse.

How did terrorist mouth­piece Mahmoud Khalil get legal US residency (“Cries to boot bum Khalil,” Aug. 8)?

This moral degenerate thinks that Hamas’ rape, beheading and burning of children, women and men was necessary to derail a Saudi-Israeli peace deal. He’s now free to spew his demented hatred for Jews all over the media, igniting fantasies of murdering Jews.

Someone should tell Khalil that a guest doesn’t attack the values of those who have invited him into their homes.

I just don’t understand how anyone can support Hamas, which engaged in these egregious and nefarious acts against innocent men, women and children who only wanted to live in peace.

In my opinion, people like Khalil, whose only objective is to promote antisemitism and harming our Jewish friends and neighbors, should be deported.

Khalil’s justification for the savagery of Oct. 7 is only the tip of the iceberg. Those who applauded the rape and beheadings of innocents on Oct. 7 would also have proudly raised their fists in victory on 9/11.
