Cost of Living Classic brings New Yorkers together in Coney Island

Yeah, sure, it's a tournament, but for these players, it's more than competition. It's a chance to meet new people from across the boroughs through all ages. It's a chance to win some mayoral swag. New Yorkers kicking their way to the top of the second annual Cost of Living Classic at Maimonides Park in Coney Island. It's always a little bit about winning, but I mean, enjoying, you know, meeting new people, being outside on a beautiful day in October. I mean, this is great. Most New Yorkers came in as free agents, forming a team alongside players they've never met before. For Kat Zao, that meant more than winning. We're all here for a good cause. That cause? To address the cost of living in the most expensive city in the world. I'm lucky enough to be able to stay here and still live in the city, but it's more expensive. And with elections around the corner, Mayra Alda says it's the perfect chance to educate and engage non-traditional voters on the field. Perhaps there's somebody here that has never voted before and now it's just finding out because of the love of the sport. Early voting is underway through November 1st with election day set for November 3rd. We're in Coney Island, Mike LaMorte, News 12.
