> NYC status quo (like freezing the rent).

The platform page points out how the status quo was recently broken: "Eric Adams has taken every opportunity to squeeze tenants, with his hand-picked appointees to the Rent Guidelines Board jacking up rents on stabilized apartments by 12.6% (and counting)–the most since a Republican ran City Hall."

Sure sounds like Adams made a controversial change to the status quo to me.

The position is "As Mayor, Zohran will immediately freeze the rent for all stabilized tenants".

I read that as want to return to status quo ante Adams.
