- In his early days in office, Mamdani has initiated a crackdown on delivery-app companies, as part of his efforts to tackle affordability issues.
- Business experts express concerns that the new mandates and regulations targeting delivery-app operations may inadvertently lead to increased costs for consumers.
- The potential for cost increases has sparked criticism and raised questions about the effectiveness of Mamdani’s approach to affordability.
