In my interview with political reporter Katie Honan, I explored key issues shaping New York City’s political and policy landscape. We delved into the “City of Yes” zoning proposals aimed at modernizing land use to promote housing and economic growth, as well as the upcoming implementation of congestion pricing and its potential impact on commuters and city revenues. Katie also shed light on the city’s recent budget modification process, discussing its fiscal priorities and challenges. Finally, we touched on the developing race for mayor, analyzing early contenders and the dynamics likely to define the campaign.
