About this episode
Representative George Santos has been arrested on federal criminal charges.
Plus, a housing policy group says New York City can start fixing its decades-long housing shortage by utilizing vacant city-owned buildings. Also, residents in a neighborhood nicknamed “The Hole” have for decades begged city officials to fix dire problems. Now, tenants say worsening conditions have led to health issues.
And finally, we’re back in the community garden. WNYC is traversing the five boroughs to meet some of the people getting their hands dirty to strengthen neighborhood ties and increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
