The cost of living is top of mind for many New Yorkers across the five boroughs, as well as the cost of basic goods and safety. But the success of local businesses can also be an indicator for the health of a neighborhood. 

WNYC host Sean Carlson is joined by Bob Jaen, the founder and executive director of the Throggs Neck Business Improvement District to discuss the issues affecting local business owners in the Bronx. The conversation was recorded live from the American Turners club in Throggs Neck.
