... As outgoing Mayor Eric Adams weighs appointing new members to the city's Rent Guidelines Board during his final weeks in office, tenant groups have a message for any potential candidates: Don't take the gig.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has pledged to appoint an RGB that will vote to freeze rents for the city's 2 million tenants in rent stabilized apartments -- a key measure in his campaign's affordability platform. ...

Yeah, as I have seen on the local news this week, Mayor Adams seems to want to do all he can to sabotage the upcoming Mayor-elect Mamdani.

My first question would be... why?

Asked differently, wouldn't a current Mayor of NYC want to hold the interests of the people of NYC in the highest regard, and help the next Mayor?

So, why does Mayor Adams seem to want, no..., no only want, but endeavor, to work against the next Mayor?

Is Mayor Adams that petty?

Donors.

The ownership society doesn't regard us as anything less than cattle.

NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's transition team is moving apace ridding City Hall of calcified dinosaurs. His staff is reviewing 70,000 eager applicants in the job bank.

Zohran's excellent staff will work hard to counter the vindictive sabotage perpetrated by sore loser Mayor Eric "Stymie" Adams.

@#6 ... Adam's is trying to mitigate the damage the nepotism boy communist is preparing to inflict. ...

What damage is that, and upon whom might he be inflicting that imagined damage?

Yer up.

Is Eric Adams a landlord with apartments subject to rent guidelines? Why is he doing this on his way out the door? Is somebody paying him? Is he trying to ingratiate himself to landlords?
