[NY Post] It's good to be the King? I'm SURE he'll welcome the rabble to join him?Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani revealed Monday he will ditch his rent-stabilized Queens apartment and move to Gracie Mansion with his wife, Rama Duwaji, after his inauguration.
The Democratic socialist, who has been living in a $2,300 one-bedroom pad in Astoria, said the decision was ultimately down to his family’s safety.
"My wife Rama and I have made the decision to move into Gracie Mansion in January," he said in a statement.
"This decision came down to our family’s safety and the importance of dedicating all of my focus on enacting the affordability agenda New Yorkers voted for."
Mamdani, whose campaign leaned heavily on rent freezes for New Yorkers, has faced widespread criticism for living in his dirt-cheap digs for years — despite his six-figure salary as a Queens assemblyman.
