- Mamdani, the newly elected mayor of New York, campaigned on a platform focused on improving affordability in the city.
- One of his first major actions as mayor was to implement a crackdown on delivery app businesses.
- While the intention was to regulate these companies, business experts are concerned about the potential unintended consequences of these new mandates.
- Experts warn that the new regulations could lead to increased operational costs for delivery apps.
- There is a growing fear that these costs may ultimately be passed on to consumers, thereby contradicting Mamdani’s affordability pledge.
- The initial impact of these actions has been described as “substantial,” raising questions about the balance between regulation and maintaining cost-effective services.
