Selection key from "Housing lock";.
How did the first leftist mayor vote in the American capital?
The promise of "rent correction" after New York, this time in Washington, DC was "accepted"; What is the fate of cities with populist mayors?
Expect the housing market:
1 The key to the mayorships of American metropolises is falling into the hands of leftist mayors one after another.
2 About 8 months ago, Zaharan Mamdani, a democratic socialist, made a "key" to enter the municipality from the lock of "Masken" in New York and won the municipal elections of this metropolis with "2 popular promises".
3 Recently, the same formula of "changing the use of the housing lock to the election key" was also used in Washington and Los Angeles by the tenants of the condominium of Mamdani, in the municipal elections of these two metropolises.
4 The crisis of access to housing is the "common season" of the American metropolises.
5 The problem of American renters is not necessarily the "sharp increase in rents".
Housing cost pressure is their "issue of the day" because of the unusual relationship with their income.
6 In Washington, DC, over 80% of very low income earners struggle with "severe rent pressure" in the sense that more than half of their income is spent on housing.
7 Jean-Louis Georges, the new mayor of Washington, DC, made this most important issue of the citizens the "main material" of his election promises.
8 Just like Mamdani, he promised to "fix the rent" and "build cheap housing".
9 Nitya Raman, the new mayor of Los Angeles, used a similar promise;.
Fast housing for half of the homeless.
Election platform of left-wing mayors.
The new American mayors gathered "votes" with these plans:
Stabilizing rent, building affordable housing, free public transportation and child support.
But their competitors, instead of "promising to intervene in the rental market" or "censor the cost of the subway by canceling tickets" or "build housing instead of the private sector", emphasized general issues such as facilitating access to housing.
As a result, popular promises were won.
This is the first time that a democratic socialist has become the mayor of the American capital.
