With more than one in five still undecided, how candidates address rising rents and the broader cost of living could be what tips the balance. The message from voters is consistent: affordability isn\u2019t abstract, and it\u2019s shaping real choices about where people live, work, and stay. For many New Yorkers, the next mayor\u2019s housing plan won\u2019t just set policy; it will determine whether they can continue calling this city home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-20959078 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background-color has-custom-extended-blue-grey-d-300-background-color has-text-color has-background has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.openigloo.com\/listings\" style=\"border-radius:100px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);font-size:1em\">Find Your Next Apartment<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the 2025 mayoral race heats up, housing has emerged as the defining issue for New Yorkers.
