Column: Campaigns on affordability without results
The article examines how the political focus on "affordability" has become a popular but often misleading campaign slogan. It highlights New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s rent freeze and delivery policies, which aim to improve affordability but may have long-term economic drawbacks. The piece also critiques former President Trump’s policies, such as tariffs and immigration enforcement, which increase costs despite claims of promoting affordability. Overall, the article argues that populist promises of simple solutions to complex economic problems often lead to disappointment and unintended consequences.
