Holocaust Survivor Struggles with Rising Housing Costs in New York City
Sami Steigmann, an 86-year-old Holocaust survivor, is facing challenges in finding affordable housing in New York City due to rising costs. Despite campaign promises from city leaders to improve affordability, Steigmann's attempts to meet with Mayor Zohran Mamdani for assistance have been unsuccessful. Steigmann, who lives on a fixed income, cannot afford the high rents in Manhattan, where he wishes to remain for its accessibility to public transportation. His situation highlights the broader issue of rising housing costs in the city, which are affecting many residents.
