Wow. Odd Lots' insider coverage in NYC is unbelievable

They were already Zohran's pick to platform his "technocratic soft launch" episode, then they brought in top NYC power brokers like Kathy Wylde

Now they're hitting a #1 cost blocker to Zohran's housing plan

New York City is a famously expensive place to do construction.

NY insurance costs are 5x higher than any other state in the nation!
