Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s universal childcare plan will cost 50% more than he advertised, according to a new study.
The proposed program is estimated to cost a whopping $9 billion annually, approximately with an average cost per child roughly $27,000, according to the report from the Center for New York City Affairs, a nonpartisan research organization affiliated with the New School.
“An estimated $8.7 to $9.3 billion would be needed annually to fund universal child care in New York City,” the report, which was released on Monday, states.
That’s $3 billion more than the mayor previously said his ambitious universal free childcare program would cost.
Hizzoner promised on the campaign trail that his plan to make childcare free for children from 6 weeks old to five years old regardless of family income would cost about $6 billion per year and be paid for by taxing the state’s wealthiest earners.

Geee ... really?
That’s a shame. 🍿
Zorro is running out of other people’s money in record time!
Everything is free, but we’re out of it.
He knows he’ll get a federal bailout.
"Nothing is as expensive as that which the government provides for free."

It’s expensive to be alive.
They’ve already got universal death care available on Hart Island and that’s only about 53M/yr, however, not everyone chooses that route, hence the low cost.
I wonder if they will adopt the Minnesota style of childcare where mother A babysits mother B’s children. Mother B babysits mother A’s children. They both claim low income and get federal tax dollars. What a scam.
Meanwile, I have a bullet train in California to sell you, cheap. Only ridden by a little old lady on the weekends.
ManCommie may be the best GOP fund raiser this year. Keep it up, Comrade Zohran. You are the poster boy against communism for sane voters.
Nothing says “Mama” better than handing your six-week-old off to a stranger.
Shocked face.....😴
Where is he going to get the money? He is chasing wealth out of the city.
WHO actually wants the NY City DMV taking care of their babies??
so the Scamalis are already there creating fake businesses and collecting billions ?
Unexpected.
I don’t care how popular these programs may be. People should not be having children that they cannot afford to raise and dumping them on the taxpayers.
There are a lot of residents in NYC that can be taxed to pay this.
I’d start with those on Welfare.
“Only” 27,000.00 per year. Per “child.” Not a bad gig if you can scam it by creating fake accounts. a.
