New York City has approved a historic rent freeze for nearly one million rent-stabilised apartments after the NYC Rent Guidelines Board voted 7-1 in favour of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's signature housing promise.

Here's everything you need to know about the latest NYC housing policy, rent-stabilised apartments, affordable housing, and the growing political impact of the 'Mamdani effect.' Cary Johnston brings you the details on Firstpost America.
