It's not like that's the only thing Mamdani's admin does, but you had to spoil a good joke didn't you.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/nyregion/mamdani-nyc-affordable-housing.html

New York City received more than seven million applications last year for about 10,000 affordable apartments. But despite the extraordinary demand, the units often remain empty for months as a plodding government bureaucracy selects potential tenants.

(...)

On Wednesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration announced a host of changes designed to reduce the median amount of time these apartments remain empty to less than three months.

TBF this is not the 60k you're refering to. There's other articles taking the view of landlord associations and I must admit they make some sense even after discounting for bias.

But it's a start.
