In less than two years as the head of the New York Apartment Association, Kenny Burgos has cemented himself as the social media alternative to his former Capitol colleague Zohran Mamdani on housing issues (although on a much smaller scale).
We sat down with the former Bronx Assembly member to discuss his commitment to short videos and how he makes them, their ability to change the narrative on housing issues in Planet Albany, and the big issue he’s hoping for action on in 2026.
