Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City, takes calls from listeners from the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, to discuss his trip abroad, and community policing and the rising homeless population in New York City.

@NYCMayor: If #G20Summit doesn’t produce changes, in the end local gov’ts are going to have to lead on issues (climate, income inequality).

Mayor gets calls on homelessness, aggressive policing, and parts of his legal bills being paid by taxpayer. Not an easy morning in Hamburg.
