Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to be a part of that.
“I live in Manhattan,” the lifelong upper-class resident delivered a geographical bombshell Sunday while ranting about Big Apple traffic and reckless e-bikers and cyclists. .
Mr. Hochul, who owns a home on Buffalo’s waterfront, also rents an apartment in Midtown East, near his office on Manhattan’s Third Avenue, sources said.
“The streets are very crowded, but I live in a city, I live in Manhattan.” Hochul told WABC 770 AM host John Catsimatidis. In “The Cats Roundtable” program.
Hochul’s team is guarding the area where his pad is located, a spokesperson said. Hochul maintains a residence in Buffalo and recently rented an apartment in New York City. ”
Republicans in upstate states laughed that Ms. Hochul had been eager to cater to the Big Apple’s voting population, and were not surprised that she had acquired an apartment in upscale Manhattan.
“This brings her pandering to New York City full circle,” quipped Sen. Joseph Borrero, who represents the Western District of New York, which borders Buffalo.
He recently criticized Hochul for holding a fundraiser in Manhattan during a Buffalo Bills home playoff game before news of a second home came out.
Borrello also said that Upper West Side Rep. Linda Rosenthal paid just $1,575 for a five-room pad in a landmark building and that Hochul was getting a rent-stabilized apartment. I held my breath and wondered if Mr. Hochul was also getting a similar sweet deal.
“Does the governor have a deal with Linda Rosenthal?” he said.
Officials say Hochul’s Manhattan pad is modest and not luxurious.
Radio host John Catsimatidis said he was surprised but pleased when Hochul told him he had a home in Manhattan.
“I didn’t know that. But I’m glad she has an apartment in Manhattan. She can see what’s going on in our city,” Katsimtadis said. Told.
