00:00I did everything society asked of me to do. I have a master's degree, I have a job, and even
00:23with all of that, like, we're still scraping by. And so to hear Zoran talk about freezing
00:30the rents and making our city affordable again gives us a lot of hope that we can still live here.
00:42Zoran understands our requirements, what are our needs, and he knows about the basic lifestyle
00:52of the people, especially the immigrant people. So that's why I'm supporting him and I'm sure
00:59he will do betterment for the people like us, like me.
01:02We believe that buses should be fast and free. We believe that housing is far too expensive.
01:24We're going to build hundreds of thousands of affordable homes, take on bad landlords,
01:30and freeze the...
01:31Zoran!
01:32And we believe that daycare shouldn't cost as much as a year's tuition at City College.
01:40That's why we're going to deliver universal...
01:42Zoran!
01:44Zoran!
01:46That's it?

02:08Everything keeps going up but people's salaries are not.
02:12like they even refuse to to increase the minimum wage at a federal level
02:16while landlords are able to destabilize apartments and even double your rent my rent went up 100%
02:23when I was up here people can't afford that we've had three rent freezes in the past under mayor bill
02:46de Blasio but since Eric Adams has been in office we've had now a 12% increase in rent which is
02:52incredibly unaffordable the people who actually live here know that it's you know not this big
02:57scary place it's not you know Gotham City but we're really struggling the people who you know
03:03are the villains in this case are the you know billionaires or you know folks that are extracting
03:09from the people who are you know the teachers the nurses the bus drivers people who are making the
03:14city run and so I think it's been really powerful to focus on the positive and just being really
03:19clear and real about the state that we're in and you know that the rent is unaffordable and you know
