#AskTheMayor: The More We Resist Gentrification, The Deeper It'll Go

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 10, 2016

Mayor Bill de Blasio took calls from listeners and discussed this week's city news, including the indictment of Norman Seabrook for taking kickbacks from a hedge fund manager for investing union pension money.

The mayor also vowed to follow up with several callers, including one caller who felt that her tenant's rights were being violated, a cab driver who thinks he was unfairly given a criminal court ticket, and a man who complained after spending 20 minutes on a 311 call.
