The city and state's fiscal pain just got real —and it was all so avoidable
Albany and City Hall are now staring at some wicked fiscal headwinds, a key watchdog reports — but it's not like they weren't warned. The Citizens Budget Commission is flagging both the city and state's massive budgets, slamming them as 'unaffordable and unprepared' in light of federal funding cuts and a possible economic slowdown down the road. With passage of President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which aims to (slightly) curb the growth of federal outlays, including aid to New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul is directing state agencies to cut $750 million from their budgets. When folks gripe, she'll just point her finger at Trump. Convenient, no? But about reckless and dishonest as can be. And she'll still have to find another $3 billion — and that's assuming no further cuts from Washington in the short term and an economy that remains robust. Plus, the long-term structural gap, CBC says, is now a monstrous $22 billion. It was all sadly predictable, but Hochul and state lawmakers nonetheless decided to blithely run up the tab — to a whopping quarter of a trillion dollars–plus — figuring they can blame the GOP when they have to make cuts or raise taxes. Take health care: Lawmakers boosted spending on it by 17%, even as the Empire Center's Bill Hammond predicted federal Medicaid cuts would shift over $3.3 billion in costs to the state. In April, budget expert E.J. McMahon slapped Hochul and the Legislature for 'whistling in the dark' instead of anticipating likely changes to the state's 'nearly out-of-control Medicaid program.' Now the gov's budget director won't rule out raising taxes, even though Hochul vowed she wouldn't. The CBC instead urges to keep her promise and instead shred her $2 billion 'inflation reduction checks' (i.e., reelection bribes), for starters. The group also called out the city's $116 billion spendapalooza and hit both Albany and City Hall for not squirreling away enough reserves. Whoever become mayor in November, it noted, will have to fill a $6 billon to $8 billion budget gap in just 16 days of taking office. It also ripped mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani's planned tax hikes to cover his ludicrous plans for $10 billion in new outlays. He'd be setting a record for irresponsibility. New Yorkers are now sure to be hit with some pain, whether it's spending cuts or tax hikes. The pols will try to shift blame, of course, but the public wouldn't be in this mess if their leaders had acted like adults from the start.

City Council lefties tackle ‘affordability' by driving up grocery prices. Brilliant
'Affordability' is New Yorkers' No. 1 issue, per Gov. Kathy Hochul and Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani. So what did the City Council just do? It passed a measure (by a veto-proof majority) virtually guaranteeing grocery prices will shoot up — specifically, by requiring app-based delivery companies to shell out a minimum of about $21 an hour to delivery workers. The companies will just pass on their added costs to the public, driving business down in the process. The union representing the city's first responders say under the new rates, rookie FDNY EMTs — whose starting pay is $39,386 — will earn less than illegal-immigrant deliveristas. And who knows how many of these delivery workers will soon be out of jobs, thanks to this bill: When the council, in December 2023, bumped up the minimum wage to $18 for app-based restaurant delivery workers, menu prices jumped 12% and app fees spikes 58%. Consumers spent 10% more on deliveries the next quarter than during the same quarter the year before. (Inflation was just 4% in 2023.) But not only were customers screwed, so were the people the hike was supposed to help: the workers. For starters, the average tip amount plunged by $2.64. Worse, many lost their jobs: Active worker accounts on delivery apps fell 9% in Q1 of 2024 over Q1 in 2023; UberEats couriers sank by 12,000. This time, some in the industry are projecting the hikes will push up grocery-delivery costs by 46% on New Yorkers directly, and 13% on local grocery stores. Can you think of a more direct assault on 'affordability'? Actually, we can think of one — and it'll be plain as day if socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor and tries to make the city 'affordable.'

Mamdani would make New York a gloomy city of handouts and moochers
For centuries, New York City was the place strivers came to make something of their lives — where smarts, hard work and grit turned pushcarts into prosperity, and where the streets were paved with gold for those willing to mine them. Success in New York was always tougher than anyplace else. Making it here meant you could make it anywhere. Only the very poor received charity or government assistance, and only enough to help them get on their feet and start helping themselves. Advertisement Zohran Mamdani has a very different philosophy. Much of his 'affordability agenda' isn't targeted to the neediest — but to New Yorkers who should be paying their own way. Take fare-free buses: The city already offers a half-price 'Fair Fares' program for low-income bus and subway riders. Advertisement Free buses would be available to everyone, including well-paid professionals and even loathed billionaires. Food stamps, too, are means-tested, but city-run grocery stores wouldn't stop millionaires from scooping up avocados at below-market prices. Plenty of wealthy people already live in rent-stabilized apartments, so freezing the rent would benefit some rich tenants at landlords' expense, even those small landlords who are less well-off than their tenants. Advertisement But Mamdani isn't asking everyone to share the burden evenly by raising taxes across the board. He wants to tax corporations and the wealthiest. It's welfare for the upper-middle class, with no strings attached. It's also a paradigm shift, a belief that government — not our own efforts — should guarantee security. The traditional American free market rewards those who work hard, delay gratification and take risks. Advertisement Those efforts benefit wider society — making companies more productive, adding to the tax base through growth and extending new opportunities for others. In much of the country, homeownership is the reward for these sacrifices — a marker of having earned one's place in society and holding a stake in a stable neighborhood. In rental-heavy New York, paying rent for a comfortable place confers a similar status. Every morning, the NY POSTcast offers a deep dive into the headlines with the Post's signature mix of politics, business, pop culture, true crime and everything in between. Subscribe here! Rent stabilization, by contrast, provides these benefits through government mandate. Stabilized tenants can pass along a legal entitlement to live in the below-market apartment to family members and even in some cases to non-related co-residents. Unsurprisingly, these tenants rarely give up their sweetheart deals, making it harder for younger New Yorkers to find a foothold. Doubling down on these programs would make New Yorkers more dependent on them — and on the government. As always, those who benefit from a government program have a strong stake in seeing it continue — and they vote. Mamdani's proposals are tailor-made for his base of young, highly educated, far-left NYC newcomers. These bright and capable young voters aren't chasing big dreams. Advertisement By many measures, they experience higher rates of mental health challenges and lower well-being at work — and are turning to the government for a more comfortable, secure life. But New York has never been content with 'good enough.' Is it difficult to buy a house or afford rent, especially for the young? Absolutely. But is it the answer to hand more power to City Hall and let it determine more of our lives? Advertisement The government's track record isn't pretty.

Check out more newsletters The single biggest reason why housing is so expensive in NYC is that, for decades, City Hall has prevented the private sector from building enough supply to meet demand. And in the housing stock the government does control or influence, residents aren't thriving. Advertisement Rent-stabilized apartment stock is rapidly deteriorating. Landlords are prohibited from collecting enough in rent increases to cover higher operating and maintenance costs. Conditions in NYCHA buildings are so poor that far-left Public Advocate Jumaane Williams has repeatedly named the public housing authority the worst landlord in the city. On average, it takes 413 days for NYCHA to complete repairs. At its best, New York rewards aspiration, not entitlement. If the city is to be a place where strivers thrive, its government must reward diligence and productivity. Advertisement It must allow for growth, making it easy for businesses to set up shop and create jobs. Instead of making life more comfortable for young professionals, the next mayor should inspire them to make the most of their skills and talents — to make them dream bigger than what mere government can offer. Allowing the private sector to build much more housing would give young New Yorkers a better chance to buy or rent new, modern apartments. They'd feel like their hard work is getting them somewhere. The alternative is stagnation — a sadder, less dynamic city. That's not New York. John Ketcham is director of cities and a legal policy fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
