Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani revealed Monday he will ditch his rent-stabilized Queens apartment and move to Grace Mansion with his wife, Rama, after his inauguration.
The Democratic socialist, who has been living in a $2,300 one-bedroom apartment in Astoria, said the decision was 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.
“We will miss much about our home in Astoria. Cooking dinner side by side in our kitchen, sharing a sleepy elevator ride with our neighbors in the evening, hearing music and laughter vibrate through the walls of the apartment,” he continued.
“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.”
