Two of Gov. Kathy Hochul's potential 2026 challengers are yet to turn 40
but their success in New York politics could be decided by older voters.
The article from Politico's New York Playbook discusses the generational divide in New York City, focusing on how "Zoomers" (Generation Z) and "Boomers" (Baby Boomers) interact with and perceive the city differently. It highlights the tension between the young, tech-savvy newcomers who are reshaping urban spaces with their preferences for digital nomadism, social media, and modern amenities, and the older residents who have seen the city evolve over decades. Key points include the transformation of neighborhoods, the impact of technology on daily life, differing views on housing and urban development, and how these generational differences play out in local politics and community interactions. The piece also touches on recent events like the controversy over a proposed casino in Times Square, illustrating how generational perspectives can influence urban policy and development decisions.
