Eric Adams Just Blew His Chance to Delay Mamdani’s Rent Freeze

City Journal contributor Jarrett Dieterle cited Columbia Business School research in an article examining the potential economic consequences of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s proposed rent freeze. Referencing the CBS study The Mamdani Rent Freeze and Its Impact on New York City’s Multifamily Market, the piece highlights findings that suggest such a policy could discourage investment in rental housing, reduce long-term supply, and place pressure on building maintenance and quality. The research is used to contextualize broader debates over affordability, market incentives, and unintended consequences of rent regulation in high-demand urban markets.
