The Zohran Mamdani housing era is here, and the fight over who the city is for has gone from from City Hall to the dance floor. In this episode of New York Times Close Up, housing reporter Mihir Zaveri explains who Cea Weaver is, why Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing by this polarizing tenant advocate despite resurfaced posts on race and homeownership, and how “rental ripoff” hearings and a tenant first agenda could collide with landlords, developers, and New Yorkers desperate for basic services like heat. Then, Times Styles correspondent Jesse McKinley takes us inside the jubilant, hyper online world of Mamdani’s young left wing base, from City Hall block parties to Bushwick night markets, showing how TikTok era politics, protest culture, and a search for authenticity are reshaping what power looks like now in the nation’s biggest city.
