October 29 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Join Reason and the Manhattan Institute for a screening of the new mini documentary “The Socialist Housing Plan for New York.” Following the screening, Reason Editor at Large Nick Gillespie will host a panel discussion with the Reason producer Justin Zuckerman and Manhattan Institute policy expert John Ketcham.
The film features profiles of tenants, landlords, a private investigator, and Harvard economist Edward Glaeser. It shows how policies like “freeze the rent” are turning New York into a city exclusively for the rich or lucky.
If elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani says he’ll “freeze the rent” for a million regulated units. But this policy would make it even harder to find an affordable place to live in New York amid a historic housing crisis.
Featuring:
- Justin Zuckerman, Producer of Documentary title, Producer, Reason
- John Ketcham, Legal Policy Fellow and Director of Cities, Manhattan Institute
- Moderated by Reason Editor at Large Nick Gillespie
