#AskTheMayor: Closure of Rikers, ICE 'Propaganda' and NYC's Sacred Stores

Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City, takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in New York City, including calls for the closure of Rikers Island Correctional Facilities, how U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is spreading propaganda about sanctuary cities harboring criminals and answers actor Tony Danza's question on how the City can protect small businesses from rising rents.
I agree, @TonyDanza. Commercial rents are not in equilibrium. Shuttered stores on busy streets in Brooklyn for years. Waiting for Starbucks? https://t.co/eg3zpU5rFQ
