The Dirty Little Secret of NYC Real Estate Developers

Jessica Gould, WNYC reporter, Real Deal reporter Will Parker, and Cezary Podkul, Wall Street Journal reporter and former reporter at ProPublica, talk about why real estate developers donate to political campaigns both in the city and in Upstate New York - what they're hoping to get out of it, and what they do get out of it.

And we also want to know: How do you afford New York? Despite the high cost, somehow we’re all living in this city. So we're creating a scrapbook to help us better understand how New Yorkers make it happen. Join the project, and tell us the story of your apartment.
