Episode Details

Mayor Mamdani’s administration is racing to deliver affordable housing, spotlighting Hunts Point in the Bronx as a test case—with the Casanova Residence project set to offer 96 units, half for formerly homeless residents. Facing delays from the pandemic and funding hurdles, the project finally got traction thanks to new city support and banks. The SPEED task force aims to slash red tape across the city, though challenges remain, including stalled city-owned lots since 2018. This push isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about proving the city can execute efficiently in overlooked neighborhoods. Meanwhile, bus fare revenue dropped, e-bike speed limits are back in the spotlight after a fatal crash, and public defenders continue their strike in the Bronx and Harlem.
