The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 12, 2022
On today's show:
- Susan Glasser, a staff writer at the New Yorker, where she writes a column on life in Biden's Washington and co-anchors a weekly roundtable discussion on "The Political Scene" podcast, and co-author with Peter Baker of The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021 (Doubleday, 2022), talks about the latest national political news.
- Mayor Adams announced a plan to build 500,000 new housing units over the next decade in an attempt to alleviate the perennial housing crisis. Eddie Small, senior real estate reporter for Crain's New York Business, explains how he hopes to do this, how realistic it is and how some recently approved major rezonings figure into this.
- Michael Elizabeth Sakas, a climate and environment reporter for Colorado Public Radio, explains why the Colorado River is drying up and what the long-term effects of that might be.
- Every year, New York Magazine releases an issue that covers all the reasons to love New York. Editor-in-Chief David Haskell talks about what made the cut this year, including the best pizza block and residents welcoming migrants, and listeners call in to share why they love the city.
