Show Notes
New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani met with President Trump to discuss a bold federal partnership for tackling the citys housing crisis. Mamdani proposed a massive project to build over the Amtrak yard in Sunnyside, Queens, creating over twelve thousand new housing units, parks, child care centers, and hospitals. This plan involves the largest rail deck ever built, potentially outpacing projects like Hudson Yards and Battery Park City combined. Mamdani emphasized the need for federal help, as land is scarce in New York. Trump showed interest in the proposal, and Mamdani expects follow-up talks. They also discussed immigration enforcement, including the recent detention of a Columbia University student by ICE.
