This week, NY1's Errol Louis joined Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for a walking tour of Astoria, Queens. Their conversation focused on the city's affordability crisis, while also touching on topics ranging from property tax reform and rent stabilization to the challenges facing small businesses. Mamdani outlined his multi-pronged strategy: freezing rents, reducing insurance costs, overhauling the property tax system and expanding city support for local businesses.

This marks the second in a series of neighborhood tours with leading mayoral candidates. Errol previously walked with Andrew Cuomo in his native Holliswood neighborhood in Queens, and NY1 is hoping to have similar conversations with Curtis Sliwa and Mayor Eric Adams.
