Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo came under fire on Monday for claiming that he “wasn’t in charge” of building affordable housing in New York City during his 11 years as the state’s top executive.
Cuomo, who is running for mayor as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to socialist Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani (Queens), argued that because he was governor of the state and not the city’s mayor, he did not control housing production within the five boroughs.
