It's hard to tie all this into a bow. These issues are huge and systemic.

But don't be surprised if insurance comes up again (and again, and again) as affordability continues to dominate political discourse, whether here in NYC or someplace else.

Climate change, inflation and aging infrastructure concerns impact building insurance regardless of whether its affordable or market rate.

But affordable housing, which has restrictions on revenue, is especially vulnerable to price increases that everyone in the US seems to be experiencing.

I'd suggest there is: Like it or not, insurance plays a major role in getting big projects (like multi-family apartment buildings) funding, and the fact of the matter is insurance is harder to get these days.

I think it's fair to say that insurers skew conservative. Not many insurance executives likely voted for Mamdani.

But I was curious...does that mean they don't have some common interests here?
